Project Managers - have you created an online portfolio of your work? I see a marketing firm requiring an online portfolio for ALL applicants. It makes sense for creatives but less sure about project managers, account service, operations. What do your online portfolios look like and what tool did you use to create it?

It's a positive sign when a company requests a portfolio; it's often an indication of a robust PMO. As someone who has hired for PMO roles at various levels, I can share what I typically look for. Before the interview, I request to see a portfolio, which can be submitted to the recruiter either as a zip file or as a link to a Google Drive. This portfolio should include examples of your past work and outputs that you've created in your role as a project manager. These may encompass - but are not limited to - project management plans, project charters, Gantt charts, project status reports, risk registers, issue logs, and communication samples (e.g., meeting agendas and minutes). I also appreciate seeing process designs/maps, RACIs, SIPOCs, SOPs, SLAs, and retrospectives. Additionally, you should include a list of all PM tools with which you are most familiar, as well as any relevant PM training and certifications. It's imperative that these samples are sanitized to ensure no confidential information is shared. Moreover, you should be prepared to present and discuss the context surrounding your work products. If you're unable to discuss certain aspects due to confidentiality issues, you could be asked to talk through how you would approach a hypothetical situation or project.

I’ve kept a portfolio and it serves as a good reminder of all your projects and is a good tool to help the hiring team understand your experience. I used Canva!

I just put the brands or use Adobe Creative Suite. As a SPM I personally know people who revealed too much and the company not only didn’t hire them but used their workflows and process that was shared in the interview. I see it like dating if you’re over sharing why do they need to interview you? I rather breadcrumb and based on each interview stage you share more preferably from your screen on zoom.

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere

I had my first round of interviews with Mckinsey last Friday. the first case was a disaster but the second case + both of the PEI were quite good. The thing is, my other lead progressed very well, it's also in the Private Equity space, an Investor Relations manager role, boring but good money. they pressed me to go through all the process by the end of the week but I won’t be able to advance much with McKinsey by then…Super stressed, what should I do?
