For software development position I passed technical interview. Next step is project manager interview. I know that I missed different opportunities because I fail this part of interviews. Technical part is piece of cake but this kind of interview is my soft spot. How can I prepare this interview ?
Thanks.
1) I give regular status updates to the PM 2) I communicate problems as early as possible 3) I estimate work based upon past experience with similar tasks 4) I always think not just about estimates but also risk 5) I am constantly looking to provide trade-off suggestions to maximize project ROI

This should be a two-way dialogue. You want to understand the Hiring Execs biggest priorities and specific challenges. What does success look like to him?
Ask: Imagine we're having a review meeting 12-18 months from now. It has been a really successful year. What would be the top 2-3 things that we accomplished together?
His answers will open up the conversation, full of insights.
