7-day TPM Interview Course

The exact answers to these questions will depend on your experience and the scenario you pick. What matters the most is how you structure your answer. 

Follow these guidelines to ensure your actions and competencies are highlighted:

‍1. When answering such questions, the use of frameworks is highly encouraged. In this case, you can use the STAR framework:‍

• Situation: What was the situation that created the conflict?
• Task: What was your task?
• Action: What actions did you take to resolve the conflict?
• Result: What was the final result or outcome?

‍

2. Create a “story bank” of past experiences that highlight your competencies

As all the questions are tied to your past experience, ensure you have a good variety of examples to share.

‍

3. Ask for clarification if you do not understand the question

Some questions are vague by design to see if you seek clarification to reduce the potential of solving for the wrong problem. So always ask for clarification if you do not understand something.

‍

4. Practice, a lot!

Practice makes perfect. Practice as much as possible. The more you practice, the easier these interviews get.
