i think i know who the manager for the position is, so i'm gonna try and get some more info out of them.
no idea why HR would reach out to me if they have my resume & work history in the first place. the position was taken down as well, so i have no idea what's going on

eclassNice.. I'm at a point of my career where I'm thinking about either becoming a project manager or product manager. Currently rn I'm interviewing for a product role and no traction on any project roles. Also working on getting my scrum certification and learning agile principles etc.
Any tips on interviewing / tailoring my resume towards a project manager role?
my resumé was only 1 page. i made my own template, this is what it looked like (i stripped any identifying info).
if you want the template yourself, let me know and i can upload it somewhere. once it's filled out, it looks really nice as a one-page resumé. i had my own personal business ventures that i used to fill up the left sided space, and my previous jobs on the right side. all about simplicity.
my work history has basically been in project coordination/project management, so i didn't have any issues with tailoring my resumé for the job.
i had to do multiple rounds of interviews for my current job, and i can't stress how important it is to have scripts for specific questions. all my interviews were online and i wanted to be as prepared as possible, because i'm generally a casual person so it looked like i knew everything without trying which impressed all my interviewers.
key questions i had scripted answers for:
- what do you know about our company?
- tell us about yourself
- describe yourself
- why did you choose to apply here?
- what makes you different?
- what do you do on a daily basis at your current job?
behavioural questions:
- how do you manage conflict?
- how do you deal when you feel overworked or overwhelmed?
- when do you know that a project is off track?
- tell me about a time you had a difficult client
- what is your leadership style?
- what was the most challenging project you had, and how did you manage it?
- what is the most important thing for a project manager?
- how would you handle an unhappy client?
i had answers for all of these written down, because these are very common questions and they were asked by my interviewers. this was an answer i had for one of the above questions, for example.
hiring managers literally use checklists to assess whether you give "good" answers to the key questions. i hated interviewing because it felt like i was tap dancing for someone who didn't give a s*** about me, but you gotta play the game

damn good looking out! I have a round robin interview on Monday and been practicing and writing down my responses to questions like you mentioned. I see many parallels with a product & project manager roles as it is a cross functional role where you need to keep everyone on focus and ensure everyone is working towards the same goal in a timely manner with the customer in mind.
I'm stumped on how to answer about prioritization though if you can help me out. Here's a sample question i'm trying to tailor my response to: "One executive says that feature A is more important and another executive says Feature B is more important, how do you choose which one to implement? "
My first instinct is to weigh out which feature solves which customer pain point, what impact it will create, how much it will cost, and does it align with the company strategy/mission?. Any ideas?

manager didn't get back to me, which is understandable considering the hiring manager was hidden from the job req.
ended up responding to HR answering their questions, and they just instantly denied me. you obviously know i'm not fully qualified, so why in the world are you emailing me, asking me for information you already have? recruiters are useless
was hoping to see if there was any room for negotiation in terms of them potentially hiring someone internally for at a lower level, but guess not
