First PM Interview. What to Expect?
Hi everyone,
I received my first PM interview for a design agency next friday. And I'm not sure what to expect in an interview for PM role. It is a preliminary 30 min interview so I assume maybe it might be like any other interview where they want to get to know you and maybe a few behaviorial questions. Based on your experience, I would definitely like some tips/advice or questions they may ask. This role is a junior-level position who is looking to start/grow their career.
Some background of my career:
I am a graphic designer who has been freelancing/ contracting for a few years. I have been on the job hunt for some time now. Since the design industry is quite rough, I thought maybe looking into other roles that would fit my skills. I looked into PM roles specifically into design agencies since I have some background experience and have been wearing multiple hats in at a startup company where I would manage a team, structure/organize files, docs, etc., and speak to clients when needed. So, this led me to think that maybe some of my skills from the startup could lead me to try PM, especially in the design industry. But yea, let me know if you have any other question more about my background and career.
I appreciate any advice and comments that is shared! Thank you!
