As a follow up to the earlier post Is the US government really doing the right thing? there are signs now that the actions of the government are leading upto an impending recession.
The basic reason is that the economy, which was pretty sick due to the excessive debt, was never let to recover fully. Instead it was put on steroids - which will lead to robust growth in the next couple of years. However a recession is immenent after that.
In the next three posts, we will see what will lead to the robust recovery and then to the recession. Stay tuned...
There are three big interviews related to a MBA (Selection, Summers, and Final placement). Interviewees typically have 'standard' answers for most of the interview questions. However, having a different point of view for a key question can set the interviewee apart from the rest of the pack and also single handedly turn the case in favor of the interviewee. This blog is an attempt to highlight a different point of view on key topics of relevance.

About the Blog
Having been through numerous interviews at B-Schools (both as an interviewer going for recruitment and as an interviewee during my stint at IIM), I have come to the conclusion that most of the interviews are mundane affairs. The interviewer is busy going through and completing the list of candidates assigned to him / her and the interviewee on his / her part spills out routine, stereotype answers.
However, there are some interviews that make the entire interviewing process worth its while for the interviewer. This minority population of the interviewees has something to say which is refreshingly different from the rest. They not only have a different point of view, but also have the conviction and the facts to defend it.
At the end of the day, after going through numerous interviews, an interviewer remembers these interviewees. These people typically stand a very good chance of making it through.
It is not difficult to have a different point of view. All it takes is research of the current topics to find out nuggets of relevant information that the mainstream media has missed out. This blog highlights different points of views on key topics of relevance. They are by no means comprehensive, however, they should serve as a good starting point. The reader is strongly advised to do his / her own homework before using any of these points in an interview.
