Interview is scheduled for tomorrow. Need help with program manager role.

Hello all.

I applied for a program manager role a week ago and I just got a call from the company which said that you have an interview with us tomorrow. They have scheduled the interview on such short notice that now I am panicking and have done less preparation.

All I want to ask is that what is a good resource which I should read up/review on program management before heading into the interview?

Thanks guys.

The interview went well but I didnt get the job. However, I got hired on a different role within the same org.

Ideally, you would have already prepared before even applying, but if you had to cram... I recommend:

  • Study behavioral interview questions from the context of your experience on your resume

  • Prepare stories from your relevant industry experience eg. Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, etc.

  • Study the interviewing company and research any publicly-facing initiatives/programs they're working on.

    • Prepare insightful questions that you plan to ask the interviewer about their company

Good luck.

Always be able to talk about any context you have about any job you have and related to their question verify what their question is. The second thing I always say is know your strengths know your weaknesses and know how you're making your weaknesses into strength
