As someone looking to break into Project Management, I found this so helpful. But, what drew me toward writing this comment was - I know that as a content creator, a LOT goes into an 18 minute tutorial like this. And your ability to translate complex information into easy-to-understand language (not surprising from a Project Management perspective) is fantastic. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you so much for feedback. I really appreciate it!
Very educative, perfect delivery. Thank you.
I'm glad that I see your video before my interview. It has cleared many of my doubts and I feel confident for the interview. Thanks...
Great news! Please let me know how things go for you.
Did you land the job?
@@ShenitaRamos Yes I got it...thanks to you...
@@AkshayKKohli thanks to Elvis, Congratulations!!
Thank you for the plug!
Thank you for the insights in this video; especially the part that talks about what PMs do - what happens on the ground, day in, day out: Set up a project, Assign task, Collect status, Analyze project data and Reporting
Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found it useful!
LOVED THIS!! So much useful information and advice.
Hi Yi! I'm really glad you found this information useful. Thanks for the feedback!
This is excellent. I particularly liked the answer to my technical background. The right answer is it shouldn’t matter because that’s not the key to a successful project. It’s also a clear sign that the interviewer doesn’t understand project management. Technical expertise, especially in a specific project solution, comes up a LOT. The challenge is how to state that the PM is not supposed to be the SME and the solutions come from experts on the team.
Thank you for the comments! Don't ever be afraid to speak the truth (politely) during an interview. Many interviewers are not as prepared as they should be and make mistakes. It's ok to show that you know what you are talking about.
Simply perfect
By far this is the best video I’ve watched so far about this subject. Thank you!
Thank you for that encouragement! Thank you for watching my channel!
I am so glad I found your channel. Great Stuff, you are so good at breaking down Project Management into simple, digestible, easy to understand topics. You cut right through all the nonsense and give get right to the point. I wish I found your channel before my last interview, but I wasn't as prepared as I could have been. But with your help I will be ready for the next one.

Hi Elvis, I just loved the way you clearly pointed out the things that actually matter in PM interview. Well, that adds me to your subscribers list :)
I have experience as Website Developer, Android Application Developer and currently into Software Testing profile.
Soon I'll be starting my Project Management program from a college.
Need you suggestion. Do you think I'll be able to give an edge over other aspirants for the job if I apply into some IT company as PM after my studies?
Hi Arpit, thank you for the feedback. You would make an excellent software development project manager. Your background as a Developer is perfect. Also, your QA background is key. You get to experience significant portions of the development lifecycle from the QA side. You have the perfect background to manage development work. Great story! I would definitely encourage you to apply for I.T. Consulting PM jobs. With your background, I would even begin to apply as soon as you complete the fundamentals classes. You might land an entry level PM role while you are completing your studies. Good luck and stay in touch!
Fantastic!!!!!!!
Thanks Akunna!
Awesome tips thanks
You are welcome!
Excellent video!
Subbed!
Thanks!
You are endowed Sir.
Bless up
Hi Ernest! Thank you for the kind words. Many blessings to you as well.
Key question "weakness" follow-up: how you overcome it. I usually balance my weaknesses with support from team members. When I am too nice I have someone I can rely on to be a guard dog. Or I'll chose a person I know I can rely on to be a voice of reason, advising me to take a step back and re-evaluate if my weakness is to never quit. I've been hearing this weakness-to-strength tip for twenty years, so it's how you can spin it at this point that will give you the edge.
@TheQwuilleran Hi there! Thank you for contributing and thank you for watching my channel.
This addition was very analytical and came full circle. I appreciate the thought and detail
Good insight.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful!
This is such a helpful video! Will you be making more content soon? :)
Thank you for the positive feedback! Yes, I will be posting a new video very soon.
Best tips ever. 👍
Thank you again!
Thanks for this useful content
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your highlights. They are very helpfull and worth to take a note for yourself.
There is only one thing that I still dont know how to follow. Some the youtube channels are not recommending to ask questions related with training, tools and support that company provide you. It has been told that, the candidate seem more into what he/she can get instead what he/she can offer. What do you think about it? or when do you think this should be asked ? (1st, 2nd or last interview?)
Hi Ozge! Thank you for the feedback and question. This question should be asked for sure. This does not show you are thinking about yourself. It shows that you understand that to be successful, you need the proper support. If you fast-forward this video to about the 12:20 mark, you will notice that one of the questions is "What is the Project Management Environment...". tools, training and leadership/PMO support is all part of that. If your interviewer does not like that question, then you may want to keep looking. Great organizations support their project managers with the proper environment and that is a totally appropriate question to ask on your first interview.
excellent video and i have learnt alot. I will pass my upcoming interviews
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Very good practical tips👍
Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks a lot for your video.
Some years ago I have a position of Project Management inside a iT Company.
I wish in this year of 2023 to apply to some jobs in that area.
From Portugal, THANKS A LOT!
Hi Eduardo! You can do it. Go for it!
Great teaching
Hi Elijah! Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found it useful.
Great informative video! it would be challenging if multiple candidates watch your videos to be prepared for an interview for the same job they applied to . Then what interviewer would be thinking?
Hi DY, that is a very funny thought! Lol. Thanks for writing. The good news is someone from our project management family would win! Lol.
❤Great content
Thanks!! And, thanks for watching!
👏👍 thank you for sharing this video
You are welcome!
Good one 👌
Thanks!
Nice content.Can you help to know how a operations leadership role job fit it into project manager job with non technical background and someone who done PMP certification.
Hi Meenaa! It's good to hear from you! You have a great advantage with having completed your PMP certification. Operations is a great background for Project Management. Send me an email and let's connect. I can share my coaching options and we can discuss your exact situation and how you can develop your story. elvis@yourprojectleadershipcoach.com
Very good
Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I wanted to know if you had any tips as I have an interview next week for a PM role though I my technical skills focus on Implementation and Onboarding for SaaS companies (post sale), as BUDGET is not part of the process. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi! I hope your interview went well. Depending on the role and size of the company, many times working with budgets directly is not the primary role for the PM. Play up your delivery strengths!
thank you
You're welcome!!
thanks alot
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
This was bettter content than many tutors with suits and native english speaking accents. Reminds me of Talebs surgeon comparison.
Thanks!
Best video
Thank you!!
Really helpful tuition, the funniest story is when you talked about last 15 project manager couldn't finish the project ;D.
LOL! I'll never forget that. I was definitely out of there! Lol. Good luck and thanks for watching!
You are teaching everyone. So how do i beat my competition. The also know the secrets.
Winning goes beyond just knowledge. You will win where you are the best fit. There is room for everyone.
Man your channel is the best I have come across when it comes to project management. I am trying to break into the project management industry from a Tech background and your channel has answered most of my questions on how to go about it. Thanks so much for your content and I am amazed this is actually free. Thanks so much
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you found the content useful!
I came across this video by chance and I am grateful for finding it. Thank you.
Greetings.. are you doing online PMP course training?
Hi there! Thank you for contacting me. I do not have a PMP training course, but would be happy to share some information with you on what I did to prepare for my own exam. Feel free to write me at 'elvis@yourprojectmanagementcoach.com'
Great content, plus we got the same name :)
Thanks for the feedback! Great name! There aren't too many of us out there. Lol.
I'm working as a IT infrastructure Project Manager
Great work. Definitely can be a challenging role.
I am not able to explain what I am doing in my current role and what is the best answer for "Why you are looking for job change?"
Sometimes it helps to ask yourself the question: "What problem do you solve?". That will help you explain what you do. Also, when explaining why you are looking for a job change, it is good to focus on your desire for growth. We all grow in our careers, and naturally reach a place where we want to do more, have a greater impact, etc. Focus on those kind of things and you will do well. Hiring managers like resources who are motivated enough to seek career growth.
@@yourprojectleadershipcoach2291 Thank you
What if they are not letting you know the type of project manager role you’re going to . (If it’s it,marketing or construction)
Office isn’t providing company info until the date of interview
Hi Luminous. That is definitely strange, but if you are intrigued enough to go to the interview, be prepared to answer and ask project management questions. Don't be afraid to walk away if it turns out to be something that is not convenient for you.
It is about 13 minutes since I start watching. it seems nice lecture but I do have a comment. The camera man film the video from the longer sight which makes difficult to recognize what's written on the slide. Thank you!!
Hi Terrence. Thank you for the feedback! We will continue to do our best to improve the quality of the videos. I'm glad you mentioned that. Thank you for watching.
Could you assist me with my interview date Friday.
Hi! Sorry I could not reach you before your interview. I hope it went well. Thank you for watching my videos!
can you be my mentor pleaseeee🙏🙏🙏
Hi Maureen! Absolutely. I have a coaching program I can talk to you about. Thank you for your confidence in me.
Thats for replying, I'm really interested in the coaching...How do we start?

Hi, I just wanted to thank you so much for this insightful video! Is it possible if I can connect with you via email? I'm a PM and have a few career goals in mind and would love your opinion on them.
