    It’s non-technical. My interviewer was not prepared well is how I saw it. He had a set of questions and I was narrating him the story but his follow up questions had nothing to do with what I described and were from his script that he had prepared to ask. It was a very disconnected conversation.

    All I would say is because you do not know who is interviewing you, spend a lot of time simplifying your stories so the interviewer can easily understand, get interested and make the conversation engaging.

  • I’m still waiting for the result so take it with a grain of salt but mine didn’t go into any technical details and the interviewer wanted to know how I managed the projected, how I set goals, supported the organization, got resourcing, managed risks, what I would‘ve done differently, how I managed conflict, etc

    It probably depends on the interviewer, others might take it in a different direction. The prep material made it sound more technical but mine wasn’t.
