Hi ladies. I’m having a PM phone screening with Microsoft (Teams Outlook) soon. I’m a bit nervous.
Any tips to look and sound confident?
Also any idea about what to expect questions-wise?

I just went though one for PM. Didn’t go so well in my opinion. Normally do great in these but used to a 10-15 min resume related/back ground questions. Turned into a full behavioral interview that I was not mentally ready for.

Give me examples of Handling multiple projects at once.
Give me an example of when you faced ambiguity.
Why this specific role at Microsoft. Even though I explained this in my overview, yet was asked again.
Have you worked with a legal teams before. (Based on job description, the role will be working with legal teams).
What tools have you used to manage your projects.
Experience with working with engineering teams.
Give me an example of a time you had to convince senior leadership and change their mind.
How often to you interact with senior leaders.

Basically all the deep dive behavioral questions that are normally a part of the next round. Didn’t expect this at all and was mentally exausted as well from my current work. Felt like I bombed but we’ll see in a week...

Also long pauses in between questions as the screener was typing my responses. This made it seem a a little awkward.

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
