yeah, cause if you do better than him, he might miss out on the scholarship, cause he helped you.

they'll probably ask you stuff like what you filled out on the form thing eg. why do you want to do this course? etc.

ye i went to an interview at college
they ask you stuff like

Where do you see yourself in ten years/five years?
Why did you choose this particular filed of study?
Why are you the perfect candidate for this scholarship?
Tell me a bit about yourself
What are your strengths/weaknesse?
What does initiative mean to you?

Thats some of the shit i had to deal with
oh an d
Do know a bit about unsw and the nature of the course

 

[Tha Realest]

thanks for that, dado006!

hmm.. i have no idea how I'd answer half those questions

 

[The Spruce Moose]

hey yeah i got an interview for BIT as well...........the UTS one a few weeks ago was pretty tough , they really try and screw u up. Be prepared for 'senarios' and explaining contradictions in your application and other things about your answers. You might need to draw on a specific experience you have had and how that experience would help you in the business world etc etc etc........I don't know bout anybody else but my Westpac guy at UTS asked some really cheeezy things so yeah be prepared to get knocked out.

 

[Tha Realest]

btw.. did anyone have their interview today?
how'd ya go?

 

[-=AETOS=-]

yeah i did,
questions were harder than UTS.....the difference at UNSW was that they had some set questions, (he was looking at them on his table). Whilst at UTS they made it up as they went, or at least they seemed like they did.
Make sure u know why u wanna do BIT/ISM or whatever ur going for. Also think about where u would b in 10 years or in the future etc, since they seem to be popular questions.

ahh... not really looking forward to this interview

btw... did they ask any specific questions relating to your application?

oh..and how long did it go for?

 

[-=AETOS=-]

The interview went for about 30-40 mins.....Yeah most of their questions are specifically about stuff that u have written in ur application. Esp leadership stuff/team stuff, technical things etc.
