    A couple of suggestions:
    - Try to keep the answer shorter
    - As an technical manager, you aren’t just being judged on the content of your answer, but how you deliver it. They need to see your personality and how you can hold people’s attention, how you can make things fun and engaging. Basically, how you can lead and influence people.

    The “we” will likely get you down leveled if interviewing at the Sr+ level, should be a lot more “I”. Of course this is tough to do if you’re currently in a team working towards a goal. It’s best to think as “we”, but in an interview that mindset needs to change.

    There is no perfect answers. However thumb rule is try to wrap your answers within 180 seconds just to ensure interviewers are engaged for rest of the interview.

      @@Nb61777 most likely the interviewer would interrupt along the way to ask clarifying questions or simply move things along if necessary. The Interviewers are typically well trained and always cognizant of time 👍🏿

      @0DWalker0 2 года назад +2

      FAANG interviews typically last 45 min - 1 hour. Most of the interview is followup questions, so you do want a robust answer. I think this answer was a bit too long, but better to error towards telling the full story the first time. Discussing specific months is too much detail, her answer could’ve been more streamlined obviously.

    answer doesn't make sense at all, if I am an interviewer I will feel its a made up situation - how come you fight with timing while resources literally wasted 3 weeks in building custom UI calendar which is used by 3% of users (prediction!!) (could've saved these 3 weeks and deliver product on time which is "short term sacrifice for long term gain"

      Agree. When you’re already in the team, it’s good to always use “we”, but in an interview there should be more focus on “I”.

      Respectfully Disagree. As a PM you need to show your collaborative spirit. Your successes or failures are not yours only. Even when it is not your fault, you still have to say "we." Go check the interview with the Google hiring manager where he specifically says the opposite of what you suggest. It definitely depends on the role though.

    Thanks for making this video. That was a great story but too lengthy of an answer. User STAR OR CAR style to answer, you need to drive the interview, so keep answers short so it excites the interviewer to learn more. I could break this story to multiple so I could use in different scenarios. But great job Kids!!!

    I wonder why people want to take notes always even for simple question.. i have seen some people write their own explanation in notepad by sharing the screen to the opposite person.. that doubles the time.. i am seeing such people as short memory people so they are always taking notes instead of processing it directly..

    Yeah, no. Either she is VERY new to PMing in general or she is an actor reading a script. Any project manager, let alone a program manager would focus on the message AND the delivery of that message. Christina limps and wobbles through the message and fails completely on the delivery part. Can you imagine her presenting to a skeptical group of stakeholders? Right..... Do better.

      Hey umajaiswal6450. Sorry to hear that. Even landing an opportunity to be interviewed at FAANG companies is a huge challenge. To increase your chances, we would recommend beefing up your resume and looking for referrals into the company you want. Once you land a call for interview, you can finally show them what you can do!
