    Found out this afternoon I have an interview tomorrow for a nice little promotion. Moving into a more hands on project manager type roll and i'm trying to prepare for it. So those of you in the industry would you mind hitting me with some interview questions and/or advice on what you would be looking for? It's with a realestate developement firm doing a large scale housing project in my area.

    Thanks in advance, I'm pretty excited and hoping it works out well for me.

    OK.
    How would you manage a situation where:

    The client, who is very important to your firm, decides the schedule needs to be accelerated by 2 months?

    Same question, but slowed by two months?

    The city inspectors find a code discrepancy in the plumbing...after finishing has started. (OK, unlikely, but inspectors are overworked too)

    What experience do you have in managing real estate projects? ...in engineering real estate structures? in labor situations?

    Most project management issues come down to setting and maintaining the proper balance between cost and schedule. Almost any PM questin that you can think of will devolve to this balance. Admittedly, this is over-simplified, but sometimes it helps to think of it in simple terms first and then answer the complex question.

    GOOD LUCK!!

    and it's "role", not "roll" <g>
