The IT Project Manager Dilemma
IT project managers often face a frustrating trend in interviews: being grilled on technical details like programming languages. While technical knowledge can be helpful, it shouldn't overshadow core project management skills. Interviewers need to focus on assessing a candidate's ability to plan, execute, manage stakeholders, and lead teams effectively. By aligning questions with actual responsibilities, we can ensure a fairer evaluation of IT project managers.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
