Recruiter reached out to me on Friday and set up interview for tomorrow with a consultancy for a PM job. I have asked for the job description MULTIPLE times and she hasn't supplied it. (Cont'd)

Recruiters are unreliable - see if you can look up the JD online unless you don’t know where your interviewing.

OP, don't over think it though I understand it would be nice and professional to have a job description. Think of any PM job description. I bet you theirs is 80% the same boiler plate stuff. Focus on your strengths and the fact you wouldn't be called for an interview if there was no interest or if they felt you're not qualified. Also, reframe from this nervous mindset to one of this is a two way street and you're finding out about them as much as they are about you. Be "normal":) Tell them your story and ask them about theirs. "Thanks so much for this opportunity to connect. I'm excited to learn more about the specifics you're looking for. X shared with me that Y and Z skills are critical for this role and I have that experience. What else are you looking for that I should know about?"

Above ☝️... OR Recruiter doesn’t care. He/ she was in a rush to send anyone and everyone he/ she could hoping for a win. It’s a numbers game. No different from most LA casting agencies

She told me it was for a Project Manager role and told me the rate which I was okay with. 1. Is this a common practice? 2. Has anyone dealt with this before and how? I like to prep for interviews knowing what the ins and outs of what the job entitles upfront and not waking in looking and sounding like a complete moron.

Sometimes employers straight up do not supply a job description but just explain to the recruiter what and who they're looking for. Did she not explain to you the job title and responsibilities and the type of experience required?

It’s reasonable to ask when you arrive. Not all agencies define it the same way. One agency’s PM is another agency’s Producer. I always ask how that agency defines it

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews.

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
