Admission Application for Post Graduate Program at Indian School of Business

Imagine yourself waiting to be interviewed for a job. You are probably nervous and wondering what specific questions will be asked, and may have even googled some usual interview questions to help yourself prepare to answer the recruiter’s questions. The recruiter steps into the room introduces themselves and starts asking questions. He asks you “Where do you see yourself in five years?” as this is a common interview question. Do you have an answer? Or does your mind go blank as you attempt to answer a question you were not prepared for. Whatever your answers to these questions are its important to always have some idea of what your long term and short term goals are for your future. I am being well prepared to answer this question in any interview by Dr. Marlo Kibler as a student in Dynamics of Leadership at Kent State University.

The ultimate career position I am pursuing is to become a Building Principal. When I first started teaching, being a principal was not something that I desired to be. I loved watching the “light bulb” go off for students that finally got it. I also loved changing the lives of those that was entrusted in my care while at school. I have always believed being a principal was a huge responsibility. Its takes a special person to take time out of their life to do the work that is necessary to become a principal; be responsible for helping to change so many precious lives by making sure the students get the best education possible to be productive members in society.
