Features - The IntOne™ Process

Close simulation

Imagine an actual MBA admissions interview that is simply a repeat of what you have known, practiced, and perfected. Our clients invariably tell us how well the mocks prepared them for the real thing. We spend hundreds of hours collecting information from current students, current applicants, and research, to make sure that your interview is customized to you, and the school you interview with.

Time bound

Planning for an interview that is 3 days away? Or one that is a fortnight from now? We can customize our service to ensure you get the maximum out of it, no matter how much time you have at hand. Compress or space out your preparation as needed. We have prepared clients for taking interviews in as little time as 48 hours.

Comprehensive

There is no point preparing if you don’t cover everything, and you don’t cover it well. Our interview guide and proprietary preparation methodology ensures that we touch upon every expected area from where questions can come. So you don’t have to face surprises on interview day.

Detailed

Expect not just to be told what works and what does not, but also how to fix what doesn’t! Nervous about some particular aspects of your profile? Tell us, and we will tell you how to tackle that too. In fact, so detailed is our preparation that clients often happily ‘complain’ that their real interview was a mini, simpler version of our mocks!

What Happens Once I Register for IntOne™ ?

You’ve done all the hard work and received that much-awaited interview call. Now, use the time available to convert it to an admit! We’ll work with you to make sure you are prepped up for the big day. The following schedule is a sample of how things flow once you register. The timelines are representative and can be changed as needed.

Step Description Timeline Follow up for you
1 You register for the IntOne™ service and send us your resume and your submitted B-school application. We schedule your first interview according to your wishes (face to face/telephonic) Take about 1-2 days to do this. Can be changed as needed. Go through the guide thoroughly, and make sure you know your application inside out. List any questions that you are unsure of answers to. Prepare.
2 First mock interview of 1 hour (30-40 min interview + 20 min immediate feedback) followed by our detailed feedback on your performance and improvements to be made. This timing is an average – sessions usually go for longer. Take about 2 days to incorporate feedback after this stage. Get feedback from the first mock. This is usually a lot; categorize it and absorb it. Ask clarifications, and focus on weakness areas identified by GyanOne.
3 Second mock interview, again followed by our detailed feedback. We also review your responses on your strengths and weaknesses and the things you should be careful about. Take about 1-2 days after this stage, and be ready for the real interview. Absorb second mock feedback. Follow our advice to the core. Usually, at this stage, there are no more questions. If any, ask.
