Interview Question: Tell me something clever you have done

[TubStain]

I have an interview coming up for MBA school, and from sources, I know that my interviewer might ask me this question. I can't seem to focus on a line of thought, and was wondering what other people would say. It's very open ended, so I'm not sure how to approach it.

If it's for MBA school make up some BS story about how you started an internet business takign in affiliate income and how you put yourself through school with it...

What clever/creative things have you done? We can't make up things you've never done before bud. They're just trying to see how you'd approach a situation and what different methods of thinking you'd use to solve a problem or put a unique and/or personal spin/touch to something.

or you could be honest.

are you telling me you have never done anything clever? Think of something off the wall and not related to your education. I am sure he would rather hear that than a BS story he has heard 1000 times before.

Actually for things like this it's a lot better to tell people what they want to hear...now if you can do something that's true and clever then that's even better.

Tell him you were the guy Leonardo DiCaprio played in Catch me if you can... That guy was really clever and he makes more money than the average MBA does to boot!
