Welcome to the interview Richard.

My name's Andrew and this is my colleague Joshua.

Today we're going to be interviewing you for the role of project manager.

So if you're sitting comfortably and ready can you start by telling me about yourself.

Well thank you very much for inviting me to be interviewed for this project manager position today with your organisation.

Over the years I have built up extensive skills,

qualities, attributes and experience that I believe are a match for this job description.

I am very passionate about project management.

I take my responsibilities seriously.

I am an exceptional communicator, both in writing and when speaking with project team members, stakeholders and contractors.

And I'm very good at building relationships with people because I believe to be effective as a project manager, you need to build strong relationships.

I'm also very good at working under pressure and I particularly thrive when I have very tight project deadlines to work towards.

I also have in-depth knowledge and understanding of the project life cycle

and I understand how to apply different elements of it to make sure all projects are completed on time

and more importantly to specification and to the required standards.

So over the years I've worked in a variety of different

roles managing lots of different projects lots of different peoples

and I always pride myself on making sure that I achieve the commercial

and financial objectives of my employer I am the type of person

that if you employ me as your project manager I will quickly make a big difference in the projects

that I am managing whenever I manage the projects I will align them to your strategic vision

and I plan to become an integral part of your organisation as a project manager.

Thank you.

Why do you want to be a project manager?

There are several reasons why I want to become a project manager.

The first reason is the fact that I enjoy the level of responsibility that comes with this position.

I like the challenge that the role presents.

I also like the fact

that being a project manager there is always something new to

learn now even though i am not young anymore i am highly inexperienced

but i also believe that i always have something new to learn

and if you have that attitude and your approach

when being a project manager then that enables you to continually improve

and excel within the position i enjoy working under pressure i particularly thrive

when i am given very tight deadlines to meet so if you you say to me, Richard, we have a project that needs to be taken over,

but the deadline is really tight, then I will apply myself I will analyze the project see

what we need to do to get it to work on time

and get completed to the required standard I particularly enjoy being in

that type of situation I like

if I'm being honest being the person who's in control you

know I like to take control of projects I have the

experience needed to deal with difficult people difficult contractors at times and I'm very very good at building relationships with people.

I like the fact that being a project manager there is a lot of sense of achievement

that comes with the position so there is in my opinion no better feeling than completing a really good job, really good project for your employer.

So basically I enjoy the challenge that comes with being a project manager, I like dealing with people, I like being placed under pressure,

I like the fact that you get to learn and develop within the role continuously.

Thank you.

What are the five stages of the project lifecycle?

The five stages of the project lifecycle are initiation,

planning, execution, monitoring and control and also the closing and testing stage.

So the initiation stage of the project lifecycle

would involve me sitting down with the senior management team yourselves

discussing what the project requirements are the purpose of the project

and what it is you need me to achieve

so i would ask several questions about what it is you need me to do

and achieve as your project manager once the initiation stage is established i would then go away

and start planning the project how am i going to achieve the goals of the project

and more importantly to make sure

that it is completed on time i would then look at

conducting the execution stage of the project who's going to do what what resources do we need

and again who's going to carry out each task within a specific time frame

and it's very important that when you are executing the um

the project that you have the right people in place to do the jobs based on their strengths

and also their experience so the next stage is the monitoring

and control stage as i said at the start of the interview i like to be the person in control

so even though i will give project team members a level of autonomy the book rests with me

so the responsibility of the project rests with me

and i will take control of the project i will steer i will respond to problems as

and when they occur or try and foresee any problems

but i will monitor the performance of my team whether it's face to face

or remotely and i will make sure

that i have control of the project to ensure

that it meets each key stage element

that we need to meet to get it over the finishing

line finally the closing stage is where we assess whether the project has met the specification

and also the testing stage we need to make sure

that the project works that it meets the initial initiation stage the objectives of the project

so those are the five different key elements of the project lifecycle

that I would follow as a project manager thank you what are the most important skills

and qualities needed to be a project manager the most important skills

and qualities needed include an in-depth understanding of the project lifecycle which I've just discussed.

You need to have exceptional people skills

because as a project manager you need to build really good relationships with people

and there needs to be a level of respect

and a level of professionalism

100

because you as the project manager are going to make unpopular decisions

101

but you need people to work for you to get the

102

project over the finishing line you need to be a really

103

good leader undoubtedly yes you need management skills as a project manager

104

but you need to be a good leader you need to be able to motivate your team

105

team to help them to feel inspired about the project and to do it to the best of their abilities.

106

You also need to be an exceptional communicator, both when speaking with people and also when writing reports.

107

Everything has to be accurate, it has to be clear and concise so

108

that people in the project team understand what it is they need to do and by what time frame.

109

And you need to be a good listener. So

110

if there are problems within a team you need to listen

111

to them carefully get to the root of the problem

112

because then that gives you information

113

that will enable you to make the right decisions moving forward i also believe some of the most important skills

114

and qualities needed include the fact

115

that you need to foresee potential problems down the line you need to look ahead strategically

116

and think to yourself we're part way through this project what could go wrong

117

and have a plan in place to deal with them you also need to be consistent

118

so people see that you are a consistent project manager because

119

that enables you to build trust

120

and you have to build trust amongst your team members

121

and with the stakeholders the contractors and the suppliers

122

that you are inevitably going to use finally another most important skill

123

or quality is conflict resolution so undoubtedly there will always be problems

124

or conflict within a project team that you are managing

125

and you have to jump on that quickly and resolve it to enable the project to continually move forward.

126

Thank you.

127

How would you handle underperformance in a team?

128

Whenever dealing with underperformance as a project manager I will take decisive action quickly

129

because I believe that a project can quickly fall down

130

if just one member of the team is not carrying out their duties to the necessary standard

131

and it also looks bad from other team members perspectives

132

so they would look at it and think

133

that person isn't helping the team and it can quickly escalate

134

so i would make sure that i jumped on it quickly

135

and i would speak to the individual to establish exactly why they weren't performing to the required standard

136

and i would ask them questions

137

and i would listen whilst they were speaking i would never

138

jump to conclusions they may be experiencing problems at home for example

139

which would be impacting on their ability to work effectively

140

so I'd find out what the problem was

141

and I would then put a plan of action in place to make sure

142

that they got back up to speed quickly

143

but they also need to agree with this plan of action

144

they need to be on board fully with what they need to do to get back up to speed

145

and it might be the case that they don't have the right tools

146

or resources to do their job properly

147

or they may not have been given the right training

148

and in which case I would make sure that that was rectified straight away.

149

But being a confident and assertive project manager I would tackle underperformance quickly and decisively.

150

Thank you.

151

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

152

I would say my strengths

153

which I believe will be a benefit to your organisation include the fact

154

that as a project manager I am commercially aware and I understand that my performance

155

and the performance of the team

156

that I am managing is integral to the success of your business

157

and I will always work with you to make sure

158

that all projects are completed on time and again to the necessary specification and standard.

159

Other strengths include the fact that I am a good communicator.

160

I'm good at dealing with people, I am good at motivating people and I am a very good leader and I take responsibility for things.

161

Everything rests with me.

162

It's down to me how a project goes and I will always be open to learning and improving.

163

So once a project is finished, I'll always analyse a project to see where we went wrong or how we can improve for next time.

164

And on that basis, I am somebody who will always ensure high standards are adhered to at all times.

165

Other strengths include the fact that I have the ability to foresee problems.

166

I'm very good at that.

167

So I have the experience to look ahead and think that could go wrong, that could hinder the progress of the project.

168

So let's take decisive action now.

169

Let's put a plan B in place to make sure that it doesn't affect us.

170

In respect of my weakness, I would say that I find it hard asking other people for help

171

because I'm the type of project manager who likes to be in control.

172

I have belief in my own abilities.

173

and when a problem occurs I tend to spend time thinking right how can I resolve this

174

and of course sometimes the simple solution will be to pick

175

up the phone speak to somebody else in the organization to get their advice

176

and guidance but having said that another strength of mine is the fact

177

that I am always open to learning and improving

178

and I am trying to be more mindful in situations like

179

that whenever they do occur thank you how do you handle conflict in the team?

180

The first thing I will do whenever I experience conflict amongst team members is to let them know

181

that I am aware the conflict exists.

182

If two people know that I am aware of the conflict they are more likely to resolve it quickly.

183

Whenever I start managing a team I always lay out the foundations of what i expect

184

and how i expect people to operate

185

and one of those is to let them know

186

that whenever there is conflict they need to sort it out quickly

187

because otherwise it will hinder the progress of our project now

188

if they are unable to resolve the conflict i will step

189

in i will analyze what the problem is what the viewpoints are of the people experiencing the the conflict

190

and I will then make a decision that's always in the best interests of the project

191

and the organization that I am working for.

192

I am a confident person who will resolve conflict quickly and I have the experience and the resources to do so.

193

Thank you.
