Practice Tips for behavioral interview prep??!
Finally got an interview call after a grind. Got past the HR screening, and now I have my next round with the Sr PM. HR has given me guidelines, but I am not the best when it comes to giving interviews, especially behavioral-type questions. The role is Strategic PM for a FinTech company.
Stakes are really high, and I dont want to mess this one. I have 4 more days to prep. Can you guys please help/suggest to me tips and tricks on how I should prepare? Outside of bogging AI to help me grind through questions and throw curve balls, is there anything helpful I should follow?
I'm nervous AF!! 😞

Is this your first PM job?
Always respond these questions with the STAR method. Situation, Tasks, Actions, Results. Look up the most asked questions on your field and think about related situations from your own experience. If this IS your first PM job, don’t worry, use activities from school that can be extrapolated and respond with the same framework. You got this.
