FIRST Project Manager interview questions

Very straight forward interview process! Great team's and very friendly people to talk with. Gives extensive overview of position, team, and client. One of the best and easiest interview processes!

Honestly, this was the strangest interview experience I’ve ever had. After a brief chat with an external recruiter, I spoke with just the hiring manager for 30 minutes. I was taken aback by how fast and surface level the interview was. It was a bit of a confusing whirlwind. She asked very few questions of real substance, so I wasn’t sure how exactly she was measuring my ability to perform the necessary job functions. I found the team structure of where I would be sitting in the organization to be pretty confusing, and she gave a lot of vague answers to my questions rather than specific data, such as how many were on the team I would be on and who reported to whom. Very little attempt seemed to be made to actually assess my skills in the relevant areas. I also don’t excel at interviews in general, and shorter, small talk driven interviews are truly my Achilles heel. I get nervous. I’m a great worker, not a great charmer. I don’t need to be great at making first impressions, however, to be great at the work I do. I don’t know how exactly she formed such a hard no on me based on our brief, sparse conversation, but she must have. After the interview, I followed up via email almost immediately to thank her and ask another question that had just occurred to me about the organizational structure I would be entering into on the team, but she never responded. I followed up one more time a few days later, and again no response. She completely ghosted me, never even acknowledging my follow up attempts. Overall, it was a shockingly unprofessional interview experience. It ended up feeling more like I had lost a popularity contest without understanding the categories in which I would be judged ahead of time.
