What are some examples of good questions to ask at the end of a PM interview? -for a creative agency

Good questions to ask at the end of a PE Interview?

Got the outcome call from my interview with Amazon and the team moved on to another candidate but they want to show my resume to others hiring managers? Any tips ? Recruiter said I won't have to go through the full loop again but just a call with the hiring managers I am interested in.

Have upcoming intro calls with a few recruiters next week. Looking for advice and how the discussion should go as I don’t really have much context. Any help would be appreciated!

I’m 40 and recently transitioned to UX/Product Design. I completed a bootcamp, continue to improve my skills. I network, have coffee chats, attend virtual events, iterated my portfolio and resume. Everyone that I’ve spoken too so far say that I’m doing everything right and that my non-traditional background is an advantage. So why am I still unemployed? The few interviews that I have had, feedback has been I don’t have enough experience. I’m at a loss!

Hi I just pass screening with the recruiter and would have my first interview in a couple of weeks, I would like to know if that 45mins interview will be behavioural and Product design only or should I expect anything else?
In which case this stage would be extended?
Thank you

Anyone have updates on the HBS R2 process? Other schools have released dates for interview invites; haven’t seen anything come across for HBS beyond the “early Feb” mention a few weeks ago.

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?

Pro Tip:
Make it SOP to have a debrief session calendared directly after major meetings, can be 10 mins

Hi fellow PMs, Question for the group: has anyone here made the switch from being a creative agency PM to a digital producer or digital agency PM? I.e. going from managing creative projects like TV to managing website builds/UX projects. If so, what was the transition like and what helped you get your bearings in the new environment? I’m thinking about making the switch myself but I don’t have a digital background.
