In today’s fast-paced job market, preparing for high-stakes interviews can feel daunting. That’s where GoCrackIt comes in, offering top-notch mock interviews online to help candidates shine. In this blog, we dive into a session led by Ankkit Poddar, a skilled mentor at GoCrackIt, with a student gearing up for a PMO role in the CEO’s office at God Capital. The student, a fresher with a background in strategy and economics, currently pursuing an MBA, was eager yet nervous about the challenge ahead.

Mock Interview: A Glimpse into the Experience

The session kicked off with Ankkit setting the stage.

Ankkit: Tell me about the role you’re interviewing for.

Student: It’s a PMO role for the CEO’s office at God Capital. It involves data analysis, gathering insights, and managing stakeholders across departments, focusing on housing finance, specifically affordable housing.

Ankkit’s warm tone eased the student into the mock interview. Soon, he threw a practical challenge their way.

Ankkit: Imagine you need to cut the loan approval turnaround time by 30%. How would you lead this as part of the PMO?

The student paused, then responded confidently.

Student: I’d start with customer onboarding and verification, using e-KYC or video KYC to digitise it. Then, I’d leverage AI for credit risk assessment and speed up disbursement by studying competitors’ methods.

Ankkit: Nice. Summarise that in a couple of sentences.

Student: I’d digitise verification with e-KYC and use AI to streamline credit analysis and disbursement.

Ankkit nodded approvingly, showing how practice interview sessions can boost clarity. Later, he tested the student’s technical skills.

Ankkit: The CEO wants a single dashboard for all data. How would you approach it, and what tools would you use?

Student: I’d use Excel to create a dashboard with an overview of operations, linking to detailed sheets for deeper insights.

But not every moment was smooth. When asked about key metrics, the student faltered.

Ankkit: Name three or four metrics to track business health in affordable housing finance.

Student: I’d say current loan amount, or AUM, and lending interest rate. I’m stuck on others.

Ankkit: What about NPAs? Non-Performing Assets matter for business health, too, right?

This gentle nudge highlighted the value of mock interview practice, guiding the student to think broadly.

Feedback: Deep Insights and Encouragement

After the mock interviews, Ankkit shared thoughtful feedback.

Ankkit: As a fresher, expect to handle MIS reports, presentations, and data analysis early on. Be ready for situational questions on conflict management or leadership. Use examples from your projects to back up your skills.

His advice went beyond surface-level tips, showing the depth of GoCrackIt’s mentorship. He then tackled the student’s nerves.

Ankkit: Don’t be fazed by seniority. See it as someone needing work done. And when they ask if you have questions, ask smart ones, like about company initiatives or tech adoption.

This practical guidance underscored the power of online interview practice. The session wrapped up on a high note.

Ankkit: You did well today. Just stay calm, and aim for confidence in most of your answers.

Student: Thank you, that really helps. I’ll work on it.

The student’s gratitude reflected how mock interview preparation with GoCrackIt builds both skills and confidence.
