Behavioral Presentation

I had a group interview with the hiring manager and some team members. The recruiter was also there. They explained the workgroup's plan, my client relationships, and how I'd interact with project managers and IT staff, plus the project's overall goal. Then, I talked about my past 10 years of projects: their goals, my teamwork, my strengths/weaknesses with examples.
