SUIT AND TIE OR STARTUP CHIC? FIVE TIPS FOR INTERVIEWING AT STARTUPS


Planning to enter a startup for your Summer MBA internship?


The interview process could be vastly different to what you’re used to. Here are five tips from CommonBond.


For MBAs graduates hoping to land internships at startups, the recruiting process can be a world away from the experience with large-scale firms and corporations.


Startups, especially those in pre-funding, have no margin for error in their hiring process. With lean operations and tight budgets, every hire – including that of their MBA interns – matters immensely.


Once you’re in, you’ll have a chance to truly shine. You’ll forge close connections and make a huge impact on the business. But how do you land the role?


Here are five tips that will help you prepare for the startup hiring process.


Research, research, research:


As an intern, you’ll need to get your hands dirty from day one. And there will be little time for extensive on-the-job training. Prove you’re a self-starter from your first interview by knowing the company, understanding their goals and communicating how you will help achieve them.


Read everything you can about the business, the team and the industry. Talk to any connections within or close to the company
