I’m interviewing for a Project Manager role and they want me to present a project I’ve worked on showing my thought process and how I tackle problems like managing cross-functional teams, creating/adapting processes, managing tasks and priorities, etc. It can be in any format and will be to a panel. I’ve never done an interview like this before. Any tips?
