首次咨询与目标设定

Welcome! Thanks for coming in today. To kick things off, could you tell me a bit about what brought you here and what you're hoping to achieve from our session?

Hi, thanks for having me. I'm currently looking for a new role in project management, ideally in the tech industry. I've had a few interviews recently, but I feel like I'm not really closing the deal. I'm hoping to get some solid strategies and practice to improve my interview performance.

That's a very clear goal. Project management in tech is a competitive field. To get a better grasp of where you are, could you describe your target roles more specifically? And what do you feel are your biggest challenges in the interviews you've had so far?

Sure. I'm mainly targeting Senior Project Manager or Program Manager roles at mid to large-sized tech companies. My biggest challenge is probably around behavioral questions – I struggle to articulate my experiences in a way that sounds impactful, and I sometimes ramble. Also, I'm not always sure how to ask good questions at the end.

That's very common. Behavioral questions, especially using the STAR method, are crucial. And asking insightful questions at the end definitely leaves a lasting impression. So, it sounds like we should focus on structuring your answers, practicing your delivery, and developing a list of strategic questions. Does that sound about right?

Yes, exactly! That's exactly what I need help with. I'm really looking to polish my responses and gain more confidence.

Excellent. We'll start by reviewing your resume and the job descriptions for roles you're interested in, then dive into identifying key competencies and tailoring your stories. We can then do some mock interviews to practice. How many sessions are you thinking of, to begin with?

I was thinking maybe three to four sessions, depending on how much progress we make. I'm open to your recommendation based on what you think is necessary.

That sounds like a good starting point. We can always adjust as we go. My goal is to equip you with the tools and confidence to ace your next interview. Let's schedule our next meeting and you can send me your resume and a couple of target job descriptions beforehand.
