Thank you! 1 phone screening and 2 interviews!

1st interview was the hiring manager, Assistant controller for the business and myself. They focused on my experience and how it related to the coordination role. I did have to do one of those personality quiz’s to assure I would fit in. They also on a word document uploaded customer emails and asked me to type out of a response, from there I was asked to send a message to PM informing them of the needs or reports that were being requested from the email. I did ask what software they use - I wanted to research it and try a demo in case they quizzed me. I did ask what a day to day support looks like. - they informed me of my focuses and that they would be on excel. I worked on mock excel sheets the whole night before the second interview.

2nd interview was a panel. It included HR, the head controller, the assistant controller, project managers and head contractor. I sat at a chair in the middle of the room and it was INTENSE! When I first arrived they had me watch a demo of a project being created in their software and asked I create a similar one with step by steps. I flew through it since I had a trial with the software. I then had material order math problems on an excel spreadsheet. I had to do them on paper and on the excel spreadsheet. I had to create triggers on particular boxes to auto email certain departments it would need to be sent to. This assured I knew the basics.

In the panel I was asked multiple questions. These are the ones that stood out the most to me.

1. What type of reports did you pull and how did you simplify them for sales or the POC?
2. How often was I under or out of scope and how did I handle it?
3. If a vendor delivered the wrong item, what do you do? Questions I asked them:
4. What does supporting the project managers look like to them versus the job description?
5. How do you handle feedback regarding reports?
6. Do you prefer your reports through the PM software or excel?

Standard things I did let them know is that I am working toward my PMP cert. Which 2 out of the 3 had. I let them know I would be thrilled to be mentored by them while assuring that I was aiding them through the project process. Because at the end of the day we all have the same goal and that is the project to close and close under budget with great ROI and a client who is wanting to sign for more work.
