#ISB interview Questions

[hypnotisedfireflies]

The Gamut of Forever

The longer Cassian looked, the surer he became that there was nothing to see. And why had she come outside without a blaster, without calling to them? Bee kept watch at nighttime, and he had spotted nothing. He swung back to Bix with a fresh question on his lips but finally, for the first time, he registered the blankness in her eyes. She was static in fright but there was distance in her intensity, like a moment frozen in time.

“Bix,” he murmured, “put down the vibroblade.”

Bix in the aftermath of her ISB interview, and how she and Cassian find their way back together again. Beginning between seasons before branching into early season 2. On AO3.

TW for this excerpt: mentions of torture

“Commodore,” says Supervisor Jung with a brisk nod. “Commander. You are just in time. Doctor Gorst is already done installing the equipment.” 

Doctor Gorst, a psychiatrist working for the ISB’s Interrogations branch, is a thin man with bulging eyes and a smile that seems glued to his face. 

“It’s an honor,” he keeps saying as he shakes Thrawn and Eli’s hands. His skin feels cold and slightly clammy, like yesterday’s saltfish. “Most thrilled to be collaborating with you, officers, most thrilled—”

Jung shoots him a sideways look. Not everyone is as thrilled here as Gorst is, Eli deduces.

The “equipment” in question, inexplicably, reminds Eli of a party droid: a polished sphere with a small control panel with a few glowing buttons and two ports, to one of which Gorst has attached a wire headset. Unlike the party droid, though, the sphere doesn’t float. Instead, Gorst puts in on the interrogation room table — and connects it to the nearby electric socket.

What Eli finds even stranger is the chair in the middle of the room. It looks sturdier than the rest of the furniture. It has armrests. The armrests, in turn, have thin straps.

Eli has interrogated enough smugglers, pirates, and, occasionally, bounty hunters. You don’t need a lot of equipment for that. And you most certainly don’t need to strap a man with severe thermal burns — or a small, thin woman like their Lansend Twenty-Six saboteur — to a chair. 

“Perhaps we should divide our efforts, Supervisor,” Thrawn says. “I can take the saboteur. You and Commander Vanto can focus on the captain.”

Gorst casts a questioning glance at Jung. Jung looks like he wants to curse loudly and viciously but has to restrain himself, a well-mannered Coruscanti that he is.

“We only have one Doctor Gorst, Commodore.”

“Indeed,” Thrawn says. “We will save time if we run two interrogations in parallel. Colonel Yularen needs your report by the end of the day.”

Doctor Gorst clears his throat. “I prefer to use the word ‘interview,’ Commodore—”

Both Jung and Thrawn ignore him.

“Time is not an issue, Commodore,” says Jung. “The Doctor will be using his new equipment. It’s proven to be very efficient.”

Thrawn cranes his head slightly. “Curious. However, as much as I respect the Doctor’s work, I prefer to stick to more traditional interviewing methods.”

This is when the realization slams into Eli, grasps his throat, coils into his bones. The feeling is enormous and cold and slippery. 

What they are going to do here has nothing to do with the interrogations he has seen or conducted himself. 

They are going to torture people.

Happy Syril Appreciation Day! (Abbreviated as SAD, which... seems fitting.)

If you've been following me for any length of time, you know how I feel about Syril. I appreciate him. But even setting my personal feelings aside, I think Syril's worth acknowledging as a standout among Star Wars villains in that he fails early but doesn't die, which allows us to see who he is beyond the "bad guy" mission he failed to complete. Star Wars is frequently uninterested in delving into why its villains are villains; those types of character explorations are left off-screen to a tie-in novel or comic, or simply never explained. With Syril, because he has his gloriously terrible, horrendous, career-fracturing failure a quarter of the way through the season, viewers are then treated to (or forced to watch, I guess, if you hate him) an exploration of his home life. We see his mother, a fussy, backhanded-complimenting, generally disagreeable and dislikable woman who seems to measure Syril's importance by what he's accomplished. We see her gloomy apartment. We see the many insults and slights and painful cuts that never healed right — we see the few sickly seconds of sunlight that limp their way down to Syril's level on Coruscant. The elevator descending when he presses the button (with his sleeve! Ew, germs!) was a quiet standout moment in the first season; it brings so much of him into focus without a word. He's a villain and fascist, sure, but he's also a product of the pain, neglect, and immense sadness that created him. Sometimes, Star Wars forgets to show viewers that second part.

Does this absolve Syril of the general weirdness and creepiness he displays when he confronts Dedra? No — but it does give depth to it, and because we've sat with him for so long and felt the tension and dread in those scenes with his mother, his desperation doesn't seem far-fetched. It doesn't seem entirely out of character when he steps into Dedra's path and, in beautifully cringe fashion, thanks her for getting him promoted, sort of pleads with her to notice him, and maybe tries to tell her she's his whole reason for living. Read into that moment what you will. Denise Gough and Kyle Soller have incredible chemistry, regardless of whether you saw a spark or feel her reaction was one of untainted disgust. The point is that while Syril does a number of questionable things, the writing behind him is so impeccable that we, as viewers, understand what would drive him to do those things. Yeah, it's funny to watch him completely mess up what could've been an inspiring speech, or eat cereal as a 35-year-old man, or to hear him whine about his mom going through his private box (he has ways of knowing!). But Andor does more than simply make him pathetic: it gives him dimension and makes him real, by showing us both the uptight, harsh-yet-misguided deputy inspector at Pre-Mor, as well as the driven, desperate man who learned long ago that he's only valued based on the number of medals pinned to his chest, so to speak. His mother's love is contingent on how high up the ladder he climbs, so of course he learned to believe in the Empire. Tony Gilroy and his team make Syril Karn make sense.

Here I'll sneak in a paragraph about his relationship with Dedra, if anyone's still reading at this point. I've written about them at length in the past, but I both agree and disagree that their relationship isn't romantic. I agree in the sense that I could see nothing happening between them in canon, mostly because I think Dedra's too exiled from her own humanity to understand the concept of love. I disagree in the sense that I do think Syril, in his way, loves her — or he believes he does. After all, Kyle Soller has used the word "love" multiple times to characterize Syril's feelings. In interviews, he's clearly framed Syril saving Dedra's life as an act of love, rather than one motivated by determination to get into the ISB. No, Syril doesn't express that love in a healthy way, but... again, thanks to the writing, we're able to look at the sole example he ever had of love to draw from. (Doesn't make it okay — just offers an explanation for it, which is more than we get with most Star Wars villains.) Is he obsessed with Dedra? Yeah. Is that the foundation for a healthy relationship? No. But obsession and love can co-exist in a way, and I think his attitude toward her contains shades of both. I think he's in an obsessive kind of love, a self-destructive infatuation, and whether that matures to something deeper or ends up breaking him into a billion sad pieces in Season 2 remains to be seen. At his core, I think he's really looking for love: but he's looking for it within the Empire and/or with Dedra, and neither can give him what he needs.

I could go on. I could talk about how my personal percentage estimate on Syril getting a redemption arc is 50-50, and that if he does turn Rebel, it'll have something to do with what we've assumed is an arc spent on Ghorman before the massacre. I could talk about his flawless costuming, and how Michael Wilkinson's work adds many additional layers to his character beyond the writing. I do want to mention Kyle Soller's acting, because he takes a character who could've been tiring to watch and makes him captivating. Every lip-twitch, side-eye, and stare is played perfectly.

So, hooray for Syril! Love him or hate him, there's no denying he's a well-created character on a well-created show. And I, personally, love him.

Character Appreciation Friday - Syril Karn

Name: Syril Karn Played by: Kyle Soller Appearances: Kassa, That Would Be Me, Reckoning, Aldhani, The Axe Forgets, Announcement, Narkina 5, Nobody's Listening!, Daughter of Ferrix, Rix Road

Happy Friday, fam! We're really getting to the meat of it for Appreciation Friday from here on out, starting with our number one sad cereal boy, Syril Karn.

Love him or hate him, there's so much to appreciate about this little weasel of a character. So let me know what you think in a reblog, comment, or ask! (and remember, do not be an asshole if you don't like him. learn to say it in a respectful way or don't say it at all)

Next week: Kleya Marki

Photo Realistic Art - Kal / Jenson 2

By TwinSoulVisionary

Excerpt:

“One of the local TV station interviewers caught Jenson off guard, bright lights almost blinded him as they started asking questions in rapid fire about what the Star Wars Rebels crew would be doing this weekend at the event.. Dan already turning heads as the muscled purple stripped alien Lasat, Garazeb ‘Zeb’ Orrelios. Joined by his sworn enemy, an Imperial ISB uniformed and helmeted Sasha, as the compelling Agent Alexsandr Kallus with his stern eyebrow glare that carried across flawlessly! Their Bo Rifles extended, already glowing purple and yellow, readied in fighting stance for a demonstration.. Then all three of them posed together with Zeb in the middle for the now many camera’s and cell phone video’s.

The media then got a hold of Kanan, Hera, Sabine and Ezra for a full interview and Rebel group photo for Ginger and the newspapers.”

Mastering Difficult ISB Interview Questions: Tips from Experts

The Indian School of Business (ISB) is renowned for its rigorous MBA program and highly competitive admissions process. The interview stage, in particular, is known for its challenging nature, with candidates often facing difficult ISB interview questions designed to evaluate not just academic or professional accomplishments, but also personality, leadership potential, and clarity of goals. To help you navigate this crucial phase, we've compiled expert insights and practical tips on tackling the toughest ISB interview questions.

Understanding the Purpose of Difficult ISB Interview Questions

Before diving into specific questions, it's important to understand why ISB interviews are structured this way. The ISB admissions committee wants to:

Assess your fit with the program and its culture.

Evaluate your communication skills and ability to think on your feet.

Determine your motivations, goals, and how you can contribute to the ISB community.

The focus isn’t solely on what you say but how you present your thoughts under pressure. Difficult ISB interview questions test your authenticity and adaptability.

Common Themes in Toughest ISB Interview Questions

While ISB interviews are known for being unpredictable, some common themes frequently emerge:

Career trajectory and goals.

Decision-making and problem-solving abilities.

Leadership experience and team dynamics.

Understanding of the MBA program and fit.

By preparing for these broad themes, you’ll be better equipped to tackle even the most unexpected follow-up questions.

Expert Tips for Answering Difficult ISB Interview Questions

1. Reflect on Your Story

The most effective answers stem from self-awareness. Before the interview, take time to reflect on your professional journey, accomplishments, and pivotal moments. Think about how these experiences shaped your values and aspirations.

For instance, if asked about a failure, avoid generic responses. Share a specific situation where you faced a genuine setback, what actions you took, and how it influenced your approach to leadership or decision-making.

2. Connect Your Answers to ISB

Many candidates struggle to directly connect their experiences to what ISB offers. When discussing your goals or achievements, highlight how ISB’s curriculum, culture, and network align with your ambitions. This demonstrates your research and reinforces your genuine interest in ISB.

For example, if discussing your leadership experience, mention how ISB’s emphasis on peer learning or its diverse cohort would help you refine those skills further.

3. Practice, but Don’t Memorize

While it’s crucial to practice your responses, avoid memorizing scripted answers. ISB interviewers value authenticity and are quick to spot rehearsed answers. Instead, focus on the core messages you want to convey and practice framing them naturally.

Mock interviews with mentors or peers can help you build confidence without sounding robotic.

4. Be Honest and Self-Aware

Some of the toughest ISB interview questions revolve around your weaknesses, failures, or gaps in your profile. Don’t shy away from these topics. Instead, address them honestly and show how you’ve grown as a result. Admitting a weakness or a past mistake can make you appear more genuine and self-aware—qualities that ISB values highly.

5. Manage Stress and Stay Calm

ISB interviews can be intense, and interviewers sometimes ask unexpected or challenging follow-up questions. Staying calm under pressure is key. If you don’t know an answer immediately, take a breath, pause, and then respond thoughtfully.

Interviewers appreciate candidates who can handle stress gracefully, as this mirrors the dynamic and demanding environment of the ISB MBA program.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Challenge

Facing difficult ISB interview questions can feel daunting, but remember—they’re designed to help the admissions committee get to know you beyond your application. It’s an opportunity to showcase your unique strengths, values, and potential contributions to the ISB community.

Preparation is key. Dive into your personal and professional journey, research ISB’s program thoroughly, and practice articulating your answers confidently. The more prepared you are, the better you’ll be at handling even the toughest ISB interview questions with composure and authenticity.

With these expert insights and strategies, you’ll be well on your way to mastering the ISB interview process and securing your place in this prestigious MBA program. Good luck!

Lights on Yavin 4

This is for the Kalluzeb Reverse Bang! @kalluzebminibang

Art is by the talented @drunkenmantis! Go check out their piece~

Summary: Kallus and Garazeb finally spend some quality time together on Yavin 4 after the Battle of Atollon. Zeb gets called away for multiple missions in a row, and what does Kallus do about it?

Pine like a love-sick teenager, of course.

Kallus knew it wouldn’t be easy, openly joining the Rebellion. He had given more than a decade of his life to the Empire, and just because he was a spy for the Rebellion for a year doesn’t mean people have forgotten his origins.

The higher-ups of the Rebellion had interviewed him for any information they thought was valuable to the cause. Clearance codes, secret bases, anything he could remember. Oh, and did he mention the lie detector that they strapped to his chest? Because that was very efficient and smart of them, honestly. He was impressed, especially by their intelligence director, General Davits Draven. He was the one who strapped the machine to him, the one asking the most questions about his intel, the one pressing him more and more and more until he was ready to pull his hair out.

General Draven was… not cruel, really. Just extremely wary of him.

Which is wonderful for the Rebellion, but couldn’t they at least give him some bacta gel for his leg? They kept him in “debriefing” for a few more hours after that, and by the time he was released, he was utterly exhausted. All he wanted to do was get some bacta on his leg, some food in his stomach, and then pass out for an entire year.

As he walked out of the meeting room, ready to find the medical tent, or room, or whatever, he spotted the most unexpected person waiting for him.

Zeb stood against a stack of crates, obviously pretending to inspect his bo-rifle. As soon as the door opened, he looked up and his eyes immediately landed on him. His heart skipped a beat as Zeb walked over to him.

“Finally freeing you, eh? What do you say we head to medbay and then we can head back to the Ghost?”

“You must have read my mind, because that’s exactly what I was thinking. Lead the way?”

Zeb grabbed his hand gently (no, he is most definitely not blushing, thank you very much), and led him through the winding passages of the enormous temple that the Rebels had made their base. There were so many twists and turns, it was hard to keep track. Strategically sound, in his opinion. If anyone infiltrated the base, they would be hard pressed to find the most vulnerable people on base.

The medic who attended him was kind, but exhausted, since they were still looking over other victims of Atollon. He just asked for some bacta, but the medic brushed him off and began a full medical examination of him.

Zeb stood out of the way, but he was always in the corner of his eye as the medic poked and prodded and slathered in bacta and his leg set in a cast. Then he was told not to put too much pressure on it, come back in a few days to get it removed, and was sent off with Zeb to the Ghost.

He spent his recovery aboard the Ghost, while everyone recovered from the Battle of Atollon. Most of that time was spent in Zeb’s room, the galley, or the cockpit with Hera.

Kallus got to know the remaining members of the Spectres as well as he could in the week that he spent recovering, and in return, allowed the walls around his heart crack just a little bit.

He learned that Hera liked her caf with a splash of milk and a pound of sugar. She found and repaired Chopper herself during the Clone Wars. She liked to hum to herself while doing repairs on the Ghost. She’s not quite forgiven him for his time in the Empire, but he didn’t expect her to.

He learned that Rex, one of the few clones left in the fight against the Empire, was great at teaching. He had spent his time on Atollon running drills and such with new and old members. He was friends with, or at least knew of, everyone who came from Atollon. He spent his spare time talking with those two clones from Seelos on a secure channel.

And Zeb.

During his time as both an ISB agent and Fulcrum in the Empire, he had basically memorized Zeb’s file and could recite it backwards. But here on the Ghost, with Zeb taking care of him, he found he had known nothing about the Lasat.

Sabine may be the artist of the group, but Zeb could make a fair number of trinkets and other items. He had made custom chronometers for everyone. He made most of the silverware and utensils onboard. He had programmed their dejarik table.

Zeb was attentive to him, especially during the first few days of his recovery. He assisted with changing his bandages around his ribs and made sure he never had to walk too far.

Zeb didn’t linger on unimportant things. Sure, the obvious thing was Lasan, but like he had said on Bahryn, it was behind him, and he’s moved on. The next thing was Atollon. Zeb was just glad that Kallus was here now, and that the majority of Atollon’s personnel were now of Yavin 4.

Zeb worried a lot. Not about little things, about things that mattered. Do they have enough supplies, rations, ammo, and the other essentials? What was the Empire’s next move? Were Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine alright? They should have checked in by now.

Zeb was funny. They spent their final rest day in the common room, Kallus plunged himself into any intel that the Rebellion could throw at him before he was assigned an official position. He sat at the dejarik table while Zeb and Rex were neck deep in a game, throwing snippy remarks at each other. Kallus occasionally tuned in and chuckled along with them, causing the two to stare at him the first couple it happened. He stared intensely at his datapad, and tried his best to ignore the reaction of his laugh. But every time it happened after, Zeb grinned fiercely at him.

On Kallus’ last night aboard the Ghost, he and Zeb were in the common room, eating one last meal together before he was assigned to a section within Rebel Intelligence. Everyone else was off doing other things to prepare for their first mission off of Yavin 4, but Hera had given Zeb the night off, but they knew it was so that they could spend time together. Who knows when is the next time their schedules will sync up and they can sit like this again.

“Hey, up for a little hike?” Zeb asked, standing up after finishing up his portion.

Kallus blinked, before shoving the rest of his ration into his mouth and standing up from the table. “Of course, I am. Where to?”

Zeb grinned and motioned for him to follow him off the Ghost. The two of them disembark and Zeb walks straight into the jungle. Kallus hesitates at the edge. “Zeb?”

“What? Scared of the dark?”

Kallus smirked, thinking back to the ice cave. “Of course not. But we don’t know what lives in this jungle. It could be dangerous.”

“Kallus. Do you trust me?” Zeb comes back to the edge of the forest, and holds a hand out to him.

Kallus stares at the extended hand, takes a deep breath, and takes hold. “More than anyone else.”

Zeb leads Kallus into the darkness for a few minutes before they come to the base of a smaller, more hidden temple, similar to the one the Rebel base is now in. The pair follow the base a little bit before Zeb boosts himself up onto a ledge not far from the ground, helping Kallus climb up and together, they scale the side of the temple until they are above the treeline.

“Yer leg alright?” Zeb asked, steadying him on the last step, where it led to a platform covered in leaves and moss. It seemed like it’s been a while since anyone has been up here.

“Yes, it’s fine, I just need to sit for a bit.” Kallus replied, rubbing it a little, following Zeb over to a small rock, and settled there, before turning out to face the night sky.

“Oh wow…” He breathed in awe.

It was a completely clear night. Millions of stars sparkled behind the single ring of Yavin 4, framing a moon off in the distance perfectly. Down below, he could see the lights of the main temple, housing the largest Rebel cell currently active.

Emotion swelled in his chest. “How did you find this place?”

“Went to clear my head that first night we were here. The brass kept ya so long, I was getting antsy. So I just… wandered and found this place. Wanted ta show you before we left tomorrow.”

Kallus felt tears begin to build behind his eyes, but he refused to cry, to show weakness in front of his closest friend. “Thank you, Zeb. This is a gift I couldn’t have hoped for.”

“Any time, Kal. Any time.”
