This is the first self-help book that I have read that is centered on an Interview on a specific role. While there have been books about Project management that either make an effort to draw parallels to real-life experiences on a lighter note or serve as a book of reference that is filled with information, Roji has chosen a midstream path in giving a concise, handy, and thoughtful insights on approaching an interview.
Even though Roji is humble to project this book to cater to a specific set of audiences who are interested to face an interview for a PM role, 1st part of the book has the potential to cater to a wider audience. I recall myself searching for a template to draft an email about certain events on the internet and in response to this, I mostly get a guideline on dos and don'ts and rarely a ready-made sample that can be customized.
In the 1st part, Roji has managed to evoke lots of interest as not only does he provide dos and donts with sample answers, but he also takes us to the whole agenda behind a question, and in this process, we also get into the psyche of an interviewer. While some might feel that we are quite aware of do and donts and we can handle the questions, Roji's discourse of Q&A makes us ask a question to ourselves "Do we know how to handle the questions when we appear for an interview for a PM position?".
Likewise, 2nd Chapter takes us to the technical part of what we might have learned from PMBOK, but just like in schools where we preferred the guides in place of textbooks, Roji has mindfully picked up the questions that are related to the functional aspects of PM in terms of Methodology, leadership, problem-solving. USP of the 2nd part is that the Q&A invokes the associative memory from what we have learned from PMBOK as the concise format helps us to quickly recall the information that we consume.
Reading 3rd Chapter (Behavioral questions) was a flabbergasting moment. Especially the way we example that he quoted in resolving an operational issue in placing an order for food was well-written. I found it very honest and the author seems to have done reality checks before coming up with this example. Likewise, there are other answers where a defined thought process seems to have gone in choosing the answers.
After reading this book, one can feel as if Roji's aura keeps following us as a well-wisher to prompt us to recall what we have learned from this book whenever we face an interview for a PM position. This book is also honest as the author doesn't ignore the other possibilities and outcomes as some questions might have different apt answers when there is a shared interest in certain areas. But Roji has just given us a key to unlock the learning process to learn and assess the situation to make a well-informed choice in answering the questions (especially in the 1st and 3rd chapters).
Roji's The Top 50 Interview Questions for Project Managers isn't just one more self-help book on Q&A around PM among the others that just touches on the trivial aspects that are often romanticized, but this book seriously helps us to take a deep dive into various parameters that we ought to keep in mind while appearing for a PM interview in a condensed fashion with a right amount of infotainment that Roji offers from his experience as a PM and a writer.
Way to go! Roji V. A.
