Presentation Behavioral Technical
The interview started with 30 minutes to prepare a presentation about being a new project manager on a project with vendor and people issues. This project is critical as other projects depend on its completion. The staff is overworked and resistant to the new PM, but the delivery time is firm. The presentation was for the review board/leadership. After the prep time, I was given a list of questions to answer and write notes for. This part of the interview had a 2-person panel. They were focused on writing down situational and behavioral questions, not making eye contact.
