Interviewing for a role at Amazon where I would need to implement a product lifecycle management (PLM) system. I’ve never done this before, though I’ve helped clients improve their product development processes (just not using a tool/system). How should I speak to being able to implement a tool I have never used?

Why are you setting yourself up to fail?

From my experience in interviewing with Amazon, they will drill you down to specific numbers. I can see they have written PLM implementation experience, historic data migration etc. So, I believe they would require you to know hands on implementation experience of PDM/PLM systems. They might not ask you exact steps but how you did that in the past and challengers faced etc.

Don't worry about it. They are looking for management skills and not actual tool skills.

Which PLM system they are using? What’s your role? Are you going to be a configurator or developer? Or a process designer based on that system?

If it is hardcore implementation, they would screen you out if you don’t have experience in implementing systems. Depends on the role you are applying. If you want, message me the role and I can help you with context and questions.

You may want to bail out, the other candidates you are going up against are probably really good at it

It’s a non-technical role and doesn’t require experience in PLM... Sr. Program Manager - Process Improvement https://g.co/kgs/cru23p

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
