&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;With the release of first-round interview invitations and the  subsequent increase in pressure on MBA candidates, we are presenting a  five-part series with our friends at mbaMission to help applicants  decompress and thoughtfully manage the MBA interview process. In this  fourth entry, mbaMission founder Jeremy Shinewald explains how to &amp;ldquo;spin&amp;rdquo;  your stories to fit different interview questions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dlimm/folders/Jing/media/d13d4352-db37-45c9-92b4-2533e62cac15/2010-11-22_1213.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;mbamission&quot; width=&quot;162&quot; height=&quot;119&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 id=&quot;articleTitle&quot;&gt;Managing the MBA Interview Part 4: View Each Story Through a Different Lens&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many MBA candidates try to memorize their interview responses in  advance and unsurprisingly find themselves fumbling as they struggle to  adapt to slightly different iterations of expected questions. So, we  absolutely do not recommend memorizing responses, but instead suggest  that you develop a mental list of stories that you feel are important  for you to tell and then try to incorporate your strongest  stories/strengths into your interview. If, for example, your experience  as a youth soccer coach is an important story for you, you could work it  into the interview as an example of leadership, teamwork, etc. when  such a question is asked or these topics are raised. Your stories are  far more flexible than you might realize and can be &amp;ldquo;spun&amp;rdquo; if need be. &lt;strong&gt;READ MORE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Read Part 1: Your Interview Actually Wants to Know About You!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Read Part 2: What is the Interviewer&#39;s Approach?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Read Part 3: What If I Am Stumped?&lt;/h3&gt;
