This has repetitions in his second response and on, and I didn't feel the excellence of this video to go on as a model to anyone to learn from apart from some minor basics of interviews and sounded quite scripted and studious too, while a real interview quite often gets very interrupted by the interviewers who interrogate and challenge you! This is quite tuned! Sorry mate I am skipping this in little over 3 mins..

[@ericvandervert3908]

Aside from the great responses; with a former background in law enforcement I was taken back when one response started with "If I'm to be honest..." This would infer that you are not always being honest. Please take that out in actual interviews.

Been a PM for many years, big and small orgs, Fortune 500 companies, startups, agile, waterfall, etc, also interviewed many PMs, and also been interviewed many times as a contractor, consultant or FTE. I like this, gave allot of the core concepts, though My first reaction this felt scripted. The thing I look for is people that are genuine, has a personality, and of course can do the job. I understand you are giving a training video, which I feel you got all the traditional questions and answers. There are different types of PMs and for different industries, all have there on flares and knowledge. I felt your answers were way to long and mono tone. There was lack of charisma, personality and emotion. This day and age, interviewers and interviewees do not dress in suit and tie. You dress and match the industry, and go one notch higher. One question I always ask, is tell me a hobby or something that you like to do for fun. I then ask questions about said topic, and see how they respond. This question catches allot of people off guard at first, but the goal is to hear there level excitement in something they don’t collect a paycheck for. Then gauge all other questions off that same emotion. It also sets the tone that we are looking for someone that is real, honest, and Down to earth. Project managers are not in control, they influence. Control these days are signs of weakness and power hungry, that’s not a team! Projects are teams, like any sports team. PMs are like the org appointed captain of the team, not the manager! Trust and honesty is the biggest things to work on with any team. Know, like and trust is something I always strive for. Psychology and sociology are key things to learn as a PM. What makes people tick, what motivates them, what drives them. Yes, the timelines, budgets and quality are your responsibility, but them come when you build a team. When you fall on swords for the team, when you give them air cover, when you stay late in the trenches with them, even though you can’t do anything, but your there. Getting food, coffee, or driving them home because they miss the bus. That’s respect 101. That’s what a leader does. I understand it’s a training video, and you captured the core, but interviews do not go like this. I have a technique that makes interviews flow, by answering questions with a question, this creates dialogue and it’s not one way. Instead of waiting for the traditional questions, you answer the initial one, with another one you will know they will ask, work into your response. Bounce off of people, like a real conversation. This day and age companies are looking not for people to do the job, they are looking for people that matches their environment, Good video, but I would lean people to being themselves, and real. This goes for interviewers as well.

BUILDING TRACKERS - you may have to get use to building trackers for your status reporting and process (by the way...if you need MS Project, someone on your team will likely show you how to use it. Communicate - often and openly. You'll find that most of your team(s) are looking for status reporting, as well as requests. Try and get back to them same day with completed requests. If you can't immediately, respond and give the an expected time (ie. busy, just now. We'll get this to you EOD (End of Day, or before noon tomorrow). Nobody likes to be hanging without an Update! Tools - Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. You'll find that a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt will provide you with all the tools, and process tracking consideration you'll need to build from. You may not need all of these tools, or there may be more specific process tracking methodology that your Organization likes to use, but I feel like this provides a real Applied structure to build from... specifically for someone on a PMO team in a Matrix organization. Of course this is in addition to the usual PMI designations, and even better with a Business Analyst requirement gathering training!! The workload is a bit heavy at times, but that is more phase specific to the project(s) or work stream that you're helping support. Of course not all projects and project work is the same either.

Hi Richard, thanks for sharing, I have 30 plus years of working experience, out of which 27 years are related to Project Management with different roles. What your answers are fantastic, just that I would like to suggest the following: 1) Begin with the End in mind (from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) - the PM can use the Mind Mapping tool to work backward what to be delivered such as "Reports to be delivered" 2) First Things First (priority of the customer's expectation on project outcome) 3) Budget of project is important, however, when the PM is representing the vendor / contractor, he/she should also need to ensure "smooth" billing or payment collection. Meaning, must make sure all dependencies or show stoppers to be cleared of These are the three key things that I think are important. Thanks

The problem is that frequently you face lack of resources, opposite stakeholders interests and lack of sponsorship. Most of the time project manager can’t carry all the responsibility for the project success. in a job interview you must meticulously question your potential employer on the problems with projects they have had so far. Probably all their projects fail or succeed due to reason that are beyond PM’s control.

Interviewers always ask for example not only the theoretical part of project management. If they ask about conflict management, they will tell you to illustrate with past experiences. If they ask for Project management life cycle, they will again ask how this was implemented in the project you have worked.

Love watching these interviews, you always learn something new and start feeling confident about you own deliverance of your interviews.

Very informative…really good video here. I am currently struggling with myself and where I am at and what I can negotiate. At this time , getting a PM job is difficult because of Covid. I have worked in the tech field for 16yrs and have been a PM 8yrs of that. I recently passed my PMI-PMP exam with above target on all domains and business. Now it seems I can’t find a job. “Been looking for 3 months now”. I am a little bummed right now but your video has given me some encouragement.

I've been in the process of changing careers this spring/summer.

I must commend you, as throughout my interviews this summer I have ran in to several of your "difficult questions" and been well prepared for them. Looking forward to start in a well paid PM position in a couple of months. Thanks Richard! I owe you one 👌

THANK YOU!!

[@TNBadBoy]

Scope creep and failure to perform a simple forward pass / backwards pass critical path analysis are two of the biggest misses for PM's that cause project to miss deadlines. Your scope will determine what your Work Breakdown Structure looks like, and your Work Breakdown Structure will build your budget, RACI chart and Network Diagram for forward pass / backwards pass planning (which gives you your timeline and T-Minus scheduling). If you don't start well when you are planning, you rarely finish well when you are implementing.

[@dulatbolysbekov1961]

Don't you think the response to "How would to handle conflict" should have been answered by sharing an example from the current or past experience where the conflict was really managed and resolved by the Project Manager?

[@Vision267]

Indeed. Also I think that these answers are common for any role. Not only for a PM.

[@CareerVidz]

Not everyone who applies is a serving PM.

Thank you very much man! Excellent video, so I would like to suggest something that is really important for every Project Manager... According to the Project Manager for the Unofficial Project Manager book, it’s really important and decisive to put all the people into “The Big Picture”. Understanding What I needed to be be done? Which part of my job allows to accomplish the project goals? And how do all the Project team will achieve that final state?, are the most important factors about having a clear vision of “The Big Picture”.

Great suggestions!

Hi Richard, I know a software company that is building complex plug-ins for a popular and expensive financial application. The services organization is outsourced to an owned entity in E.Europe. The team is full of friendly professional members. I'm close to the team and see that they almost NEVER achieve a micro-granular or a macro-project implementation deadline. They just move the goalposts every-time they miss the deadline. They do not try to understand CSAT and their support team appears slow. My experience forecasts doom for these guys but the opposite is the case. They continue to have new customers and the head of the services and support team continues to receive more money and promotions. It is the oddest situation I've witnessed. Have you ever seen such an 'opposite-think' situation? Would love to hear about it if you have.

This might have worked 30 years ago but saying a load of fixed sentences with buzz words isn't going to cut it anymore. You need to give concrete examples. Everyone can say they are a good leader that meets deadlines to the requires standard and then analyse it to see where I went wrong blah blah blah.

You are absolutely on point. Trying to answer without providing specific examples of how you as a PM made a difference working around challenging timelines and tight finances will loose the interviewer interest in matter of minutes.
