Hi Alvin, thank you for your video, please can you help me answer this questions please.

Can you describe a time you have had to capture project requirement from stakeholders who had conflicting needs and tell us what steps you took to agree a way forward.

.can you tell us about a time when you have managed multiple risks on a project/programme and what processes did you follow?

thank you for assisting

I had my 2nd interview today. I practiced for a week straight - on my presentation. What possible questions - but I totally flopped when they asked to describe my management style. I made a complete fool of myself.. reasons I know the job wasn’t mine:

They didn’t offer to show me around and meet the other staff

The hiring manager kept thanking at the end for “driving all this way” - almost like he felt bad I drove all this way for nothing
- the whole mood shifted at the end and the whole exit was odd.

- the hiring manager walked me to the elevator out the door and again, thanked me and said I did great.. but not in a “you got the job” more like “ good try”

They said they had a few more candidates to go through and would know in 2 weeks …
I know the job isn’t mine - but I still sent a thank you letter.

On to the next. …

Thank you so much Alvin! This is awesome.

i find it difficult to make statements around my "proven track record" unless I am some kind of well-known entity in the field, and even then, many claim efforts that may be the work of others. I often receive this kind of statements in the same way...the interviewer will ultimately determine how proven a track record is

Great interview questions and answers, Alvin, thank you! I felt relatively confident about my answers to your questions, though they would need lots of rehearsing. One question/challenge for you:

During the "tell me about yourself" portion, you didn't suggest bringing in anything personal from your life - why not? Aren't all interviewers also looking for "culture fit" from interviewees where you can show your non-professional side? For a personal example, I love hosting parties and volunteer organizing community groups - both relevant to the PM career (leading events/groups) but show another slice of yourself.

Thoughts on including stuff like that in the icebreaker answer?

Please What would be your response to the following interview questions; (1) Tell Me the Specific Training You Have That Would be Relevant to This Project Manager Job? (2) Tell me about a situation during a recent project when you had to adapt and manage change. (3) You notice that a project is not progressing as planned. How do you rectify this?

[khurramkhurram]

Dear Alvin thank you for the video. It was really helpful. I have a question. You had a 10-year experience of working as a project manager. In my case, I have zero experience in project management. How may I reply to this question tell me about yourself?

No one talks about how to get trai g for peoject coorator training, where do i get this training

During the 18 years I worked as a contract technical writer, , I found that the vast majority of project managers were incompetent clowns, particularly in the field if IT.
I don't see that changing any time soon.
