INSEAD Interview- still waiting

2 weeks after the interview invitation, I am still waiting for INSEAD AdCom to provide me the contact(s) of my interviewer(s). The AdCom has been very helpful and efficient in answering my queries, but seems to have some difficulty to find an available alumni who has knowledge of my current and post-MBA industry.

I presume this is due to the common long working hour for people in these two industries, especially for the alumni who hold important positions, and for working in this workaholic country. :p A recent global survey revealed that we actually clock longer working hour than those working in HongKong.... we are overtaking them ! Should we be glad for this ?

While I am eager to complete the interviews, it might be a blessing that I have more time to prepare for it/them. Having not done any formal interview in the past 4 years, I really need to practise on my interview skills and to consciously practise speaking proper and formal English (:p), which is hardly required on a daily basis here...


By the way, I have noticed a stereotype of Asian student in the MBA world... it seems that Asian student is typically perceived as excessively diligent and determined to achieve academic excellence =p. Almost every MBA student/alumni I have spoken to have advised me to enjoy the fun of socialising (ie, partying :p) and travelling, and not to spend too much time mugging at the cold cold library... oppss....
