Good luck. It's a great program.

I don't think you'll have an issue being accepted. Provided you are personable.

Yeah it's really time intensive. If you travel or start to travel you might not be able to keep up with it. I convinced my consultant bf to do it but he ended up having to drop out. ☹️

I was told it would be two 4 hour sessions per month on the weekends, which doesn't seem to be too bad. All I do on weekends is lift, boozy brunch and the occasional rager anyway. I think I can fit it in to the schedule.

Tell 'em your favorite movie is "Role Models," and it's what inspired you to apply.

No need to prep it's all questions related to personal life, mentoring experience and personal philosophy about mentoring etc

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced a two week delay after HR has called to discuss an offer and you don’t hear back from there is that a red flag or to keep the hope flying still?
