How have you overcome product failures or bad feedback?

Tell me about a time when you used data to make an important decision.

I hate this question because mostly people stipulate data driven decision making is deciding based on facts. Every rational decision is and just requires facts, not data. Knowing SQL or other nevertheless helps you to access facts and make rational (actually right) decisions about it.

Who is the smartest person you know? -- you'd be surprised how many people get filtered out of here by saying either themselves

I think that this question is similar to any type of "who do you admire/look up to/etc". It kind of goes back to when people wrote about their hero in school and the teachers got sick of hearing the same thing over and over. If you want to set yourself apart, have a different perspective on things.

How did you work with teams that had conflicting interests.- it was essentially around 2 teams fighting to get their feature out first

I’m a newly graduate from a community college. My program of study was Health Information Technician.

I’ve applied for receptionist, medical biller/coordinator, and medical clerk. Even with inflation willing to work for minimum wage or less just to gain experience.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.

Fast forward to June 2022, another recruiter reaches out to me re: a PM role. I pass the screening interview, and move on to the virtual on site interview stage. I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange
