<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Our objective is that you become better at preparing for MBA interviews, by focusing on your own stories and key points and practicing those, rather than working from a script. At its core, proactive interview preparation is based on thinking about your message, no matter what the question. You don’t know what you will be asked, but you do know your message. Being ready for the unexpected is thus incorporated into the very method itself because you don’t focus on preparing for answering specific questions, but rather for knowing things you want to discuss about yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">We will then focus on enhancing your ability to listen and engage with others during an interview. While it is important to know what you want to say, it is equally important to focus on having a conversation during an interview. Based on our experience, interviewees don’t always actively listen enough. Sometimes they just focus on speaking and speaking too much at once. By focusing as much as on what the other person is saying as on what you want to say, you can better connect with an interviewer, which is critical for making a positive impression. For some kinds of interviews, such as Wharton’s Group Interview, active listening is critical because you have to engage with other members of your interview group. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="font-family: Helvetica;">I'd like to thank Daisuke Wakamiya for participating in an interview so that anyone interested in grad school, and in particular interested in innovation management, can learn more about his experiences in this unique educational program. Below are his responses to my questions about the <a href="https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/business-and-management-and-science/postgraduate/ma-innovation-management-csm" target="_blank">MA in Innovation Management </a></i><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><i><a href="https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/business-and-management-and-science/postgraduate/ma-innovation-management-csm" target="_blank">Program</a></i></span><i style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/business-and-management-and-science/postgraduate/ma-innovation-management-csm" target="_blank"> at UAL (University of the Arts London)</a> as well as his life in this vibrant city.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>1. Why did you choose this unique program?</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
First of all, multidisciplinary and multicultural talents gather and collide here, producing something new. I have noticed collaboration amongst people of different professions/nationalities is key for innovation. That is why this course was ideal for me. In addition, I’m convinced the composition of the program, featuring a personal project after team explorations, would help me focus my interest and philosophy. Different from my prior working experience, this MA Innovation Management Programme is focusing on exploring new perspective and ideas, rather than making physical products. Since I have worked as a hardware engineer for 10 years, I already have a lot of experiences of making things. That is why the course was ideal for me to learn a more creative way of thinking, similar to what artists and designers do. At the same time, I wanted to be the one to invent the products and services on site rather than making decisions. This attitude made me choose design school rather than business school. On top of that, London is the ideal location for me because the city is not only famous for being a melting pot of races contributing to the diversity, but it is also a travel hub - you can fly to most European cities within a few hours.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>2. Please walk us through a typical weekday as a student in this program.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
This program relies enormously on independent learning - we basically don’t have lectures every weekday. Besides, scheduling is one of the team project tasks, and as such each team builds up their own schedule. Bearing that in mind, what follows is a typical schedule.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
From 10 to 10:30 on Monday, we initiated a student led meeting where we share our skills and knowledge with each other. For example, we had a coaching session from a course mate. As most of us have some professional background, it is a really useful opportunity to learn about each other. After that we have a lecture involved in the project. Almost all lectures are interactive and often include some workshops. Then students spend time on each team project in the afternoon. As most of the outputs of the team projects are team presentations, brainstorming can be the main part of the discussion. In the evening, I take part in a seminar the university organizes from time to time. The topics range widely from managing stress to reflective thinking, which is also useful for students.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>3. Is there a course or experience that you particularly recommend?</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In this course, the professor offers some philosophical frameworks to find innovation opportunities. One project involved “discourse”. In this project, we as a team researched a given theme. Discourse is simply defined how people speak and write a topic and is also a methodology to analyse a topic from the past to present and develop a future scenario. Through the project we have noticed how our minds and perspectives are biased. One insight we have gained from this is the attitude to keep a naïve mind during research. As such, the MA Innovation Management Program encourages us to learn not only design thinking methodology but also different perspectives to allow us to critically analyze a theme. I highly recommended this. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>4. Have you enjoyed the team projects? What have you learned from working with your peers?</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Definitely yes! Actually, most of the projects in the 1st year are team projects. As the members are randomly divided into groups, I have tagged with different member in each project. I enjoy getting inspired by teammates from different countries and different professions. There is collision, collaboration and cooperation. What I have learned most is the importance of adaptability. To be honest, I’m still struggling with the language barrier like catching up to fast-paced discussions with native English speakers. So I had to come up with some survival skills such as asking for a recap, setting aside time for my speech in the beginning and using rough sketching to better relate ideas. These practices have worked. Besides, some of my colleagues told me that distilling information through sketching is one of my strengths. Pushing the boundaries with peers can be a tough experience, but it will make you grow.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>5. How’s life in London? What kinds of things are you doing?</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
It’s a once in a lifetime experience, to say the least. Although I continue to be busy with group work and reading assignments on weekdays, I often hang out around the city, and get immersed in British culture such as old buildings, museums (most are free), crawling pubs and restaurants, going for picnics at parks and other such activities. Watching World Cup games at local pubs with a pint of pale ale was really fun. Since craft beer has been getting popular here, most of the pubs have more than 10 taps (type of beer), inviting you into the deep brewery world. As for food, there are lots of great restaurants, but they can be a bit pricey. Gastropubs are an alternative, where you can have modern British dishes and beer with traditional atmosphere and at a decent price. On holidays, I go for short trips to neighboring cities such as Barcelona, Paris and Helsinki. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<i>6. After receiving an acceptance to the programme and before actually arriving in London, I imagine that you did quite a bit of preparation. Reflecting on that period of time is there anything you wish you had done more/less of?</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
If you are a normal Japanese person like me, I recommend that you improve your English conversation skills, especially listening comprehension skills. I got a 7.0 on IELTS, but I couldn’t catch what local people said at all when I arrived, and it is still difficult after one year. Except a fast pace in conversations, and as well the British/London accent might not be one you are familiar with. It feels like the difference between Queen and London accents is as much as the difference between Standard Japanese and the Osaka dialect.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

How long should this document be? </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">My short answer is that the 1-page resume is the only document which should be used in your job or school application (except for those positions that ask for lengthy detail on professional or academic accomplishments, i.e. a CV). But that doesn't mean there is no use for a longer version.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">I recommend regularly updating a 2-4 page resume (a master resume), that includes all of your positions and accomplishments. When you will actually use it, cut it down to a final 1-page focused and strategic version. There are several benefits to be had from such a system.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">Benefit #1: You can keep everything, without having to show everything.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">For many, it is hard to cut their 6th consecutive M&A deal from a resume, especially when they all seem to be so interesting! But the reality is that this level of duplicity is rarely necessary in a finished resume. So, keep the master resume as a comprehensive list, while the finished resume can be a more focused version that contains just those contents that are most relevant for the job or application. This is a great way to satisfy both urges people feel when they make a resume: 1) they want it to reflect absolutely everything, and 2) they want to feel that it is focused to the individual reader. It is hard to accomplish both with just one document, so don't even try.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">Benefit #2: Content which is cut from the final version doesn't disappear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">I used to keep just a 1-page resume, and so when I decided to add something, invariably something else had to be cut. This is fine of course, but what if one of those cut accomplishments may have value in a different, future situation? If all you are doing is continually refining and juggling the content in your 1-page resume, then once you cut something you may forget about it - and it may be useful later.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">Benefit #3: The master resume can be easily adapted into a finished resume that is targeted for specific situations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">I've mentioned here that the finished resume needs to focus the reader's attention on the details of your background that are most relevant for them. The resume for your application to the </span><span class="s1" style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">MIT Sloan MBA program</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">is not necessarily going to be the same resume you would submit for a job as a domestic sales manager at a fashion retailer. Your finished resume should fit each individual need to which it may be applied and part of that means selecting which accomplishments are most relevant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">Note that as you finalize resumes for different purposes, you are not only cutting the volume of material so that it fits 1 page, but you may also be tweaking the word choice within bullet points to highlight different skills that you may aim to highlight for different purposes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">A final note on length</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">But why is it so necessary to make all of these painful cuts in order to arrive at my finished 1-page resume? Wouldn't a 2 page version just be easier to make? Why do I have to carefully go over all of my accomplishments in order to find just those key ones that are most representative of my skill-set, and that are most relevant to the reader? In asking these questions, you are giving yourself the answers: you need to make all of these decisions and evaluations of your resume content, so that your reader doesn't have to. Your 1-page resume is the movie trailer of (the relevant parts of) your life - it is short, to the point, and gets the viewer interested in wanting to learn more. Can a two-page resume do this? In most cases it can, but a one-page resume does it better, because it is more succinct. There is a reason why movie trailers are only 2-minutes or so - because that is all it takes to get you interested in the story being advertised.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">Here's a quick summary of the benefits of having a 1 page resume:</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">1) A 1-page resume offers the strongest initial impact, and makes it easy for the reader to quickly scan your background and be impressed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">2) A 1-page resume has only the most highly relevant and impressive content, because you have taken the time to select which bullet points to include.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">3) A 1-page resume doesn't require the reader to go back and forth between pages or have to hunt for what they are looking for. Everything is laid out clearly.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">So, start working on your "master version" resume today, so that you are ready to make a finely-honed 1-page version of it when it's time for that next job opportunity or school application.</span><br />

The verbal section will shrink from 41 to 36 questions and the quantitative section will shrink from 37 to 31. What does this mean?<br />
<br />
To me, it means that if in practice tests you tend to consistently run out of energy and/or time towards the last few questions of the verbal or quantitative section, then this new test is going to be better for you.<br />
<br />
At the same time however, if you tend to take a few questions to find your feet and get rolling, and may perform better towards the end of the verbal or quantitative section, then the current format might suit you better (although in general you're at a disadvantage as on these kinds of tests doing well at the start and achieving tougher questions faster is generally better).<br />
<br />
At the end of the day it's a moot point - from April 16th the new and shorter GMAT will be the only choice for everyone.<br />
