Was at a technical interview for a PMO position where the hiring manager asked “can you walk me through a project implementation stage” I guess I didn’t articulate it well and didn’t pass the interview. What could have been your response?

Sorry didn’t get a notification on your comment - I took it as the implementation stage being execution and described as how I would organize project board meetings, project status meetings, tracking project progress and updating for all stakeholder. Looking back - maybe they wanted to know the full process as opposed to the project execution stage..

I would have been confused too. To me the entire project is to implement so I would have had them re-state the question

Probably I should have asked for clarification.. lessons learned!

3) They’re asking for salary expectations & I found out via research that the recruiter quoted median TC but I’d like top TC (200). Do I need to explain why my expectations changed?
4) Is there value in attending the Pre Recruiter Call/ Candid Calls?
5) How do they expect ppl to take a full day off for “maybe”?

TIA!

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?
