specifically I'm gonna give you a number of questions to prepare for and also a number of answers to so before I get into that tutorial for those who don't know me my name is Richard McMunn that's me

those project coordinator interview questions and high scoring answers I just want to quickly brush over the skills and qualities that we need to make sure you demonstrate during your project coordinator interview and those are you have to demonstrate an ability to plan and organize effectively and those who pretty much come at the top of the list in respect of the skills and qualities you're going to need you also have to communicate in a variety of situations and formats obviously in written format also via electronic email how you speak and also how you present yourself and also if you were coordinating a meeting over Skype or online and you also have to take responsibility for important milestones it's down to you to make sure they're coordinated and everything gets completed it goes without saying that everything you do has to be done to a high standard at all times you also need negotiation and persuasion techniques and also team working skills and being able to manage projects and tasks remotely okay so what I mean by that remotely is sometimes you won't be able to speak to people face-to-face so somebody might be you know in a different part of the country or even internationally around the world but you still have to coordinate and manage things and it takes those skills to be able to do that so think about this during the project coordinator interview they're going to be assessing these skills and you need to give them what they're looking for and that's what I'm going to do right now in relation to the project coordinator interview questions and answers so let's start off with the first question of your project coordinator into let's think about it logically what are they going to say to you it's gonna be okay introduce yourself or tell me about yourself and also the skills and attributes you possess that will help you to become a brilliant project coordinator so this is your opportunity from the get-go to sell yourself and refer to those skills and qualities that are needed that's the important thing so here's my suggested answer to that interview question I am a hardworking conscientious and loyal person who is totally dedicated to my work I am at my best when managing and coordinating projects and I enjoy my work the most when I am under pressure to deliver results based on strict timescales now the skills and attributes I possess include ensuring projects adir two frameworks and relevant documentation assessing the pros the cons and the risks associated with projects and also finding solutions to problems to ensure the smooth transition from project idea and project planned through to full project implementation now I believe I will make an excellent project coordinator for your company because I possess strong work ethics high standards and also an ability to coordinate the toughest of projects through resilience and determination so that's a really strong answer which will get you off on the right footing for your project coordinator interview now if you want to download these questions and answers you can either take notes if you want to or I'll tell you at some stage where you can get a copy of all of these and others to help you pass your interview let's have a look at the second question and I want you to prepare for for your project coordinator interview describe a situation you were in where you experienced conflict as part of a task or projects and how you dealt with it so whenever you are involved in a car any kind of project where people are involved other people and you're coordinating it there's going to be conflict at times people will disagree and you are the person who has to coordinate and manage it so this assesses your ability your your ability to do that so here's my suggested answer I was part of a project team in a previous role which included six other team members we were tasked with delivering an important web-based time-sensitive project for a client now during the initial stage of the project we got together as a team to discuss and agree upon the initiation phase of the project and also an agreed action plan now from the very first meeting two members of the team took an instant dislike to each other and their constant disagreements were starting to cause conflict within the team now I took control of the situation and spoke up during the meeting to express my concerns that unless we all agree to put our differences aside and work collaboratively as part of a team to achieve the project teams we would all be responsible for the failure of the project now as soon as I raised the issue it was clear the two team members knew they had to put their differences aside which they agreed to do and from that point on the conflict was stopped dead in its tracks and the remainder of the project went smoothly and according to plan now that is a specific answer to the question and that's really important you have to give evidence-based responses to these kind of behavioral type situations it says describe a situation you were in so it has to be specific in nature and that's a great answer because I've recognized the conflict but more importantly this is what I want you to do is you stop it straight away you don't use aggression but you use persuasion techniques okay and this is assessing your ability to communicate with these people to get them to stop because you have the project at the forefront of your mind and it also shows an awareness that unless someone takes control the project will fail next question describe the project lifecycle and the steps you would follow in coordinating a project so if you're going to coordinate object as a project coordinator you have to understand the life cycle of a project which are the different stages here we go there are a number of different phases I would go through whilst coordinating any project the first phase is the initiation and planning stage and this is where I would basically define the need for the project set the project aims and objectives and also map out the different stages I would then move on to the development stage whereby I would choose the relevant team members start putting together the action plan which will be used to achieve important key milestones I will then move on to the action stage which is essentially where I and the other team members would implement the tasks needed to get the project over the finishing line now finally I would test the project to make sure it was working thoroughly and to the relevant specification before undertaking the debrief to see what lessons could be learned for future improvements and projects so that shows with clarity and a logical sequence that you know what's involved in respect of the project life cycle now I'm gonna give you two more questions so please do stick around and listen some because they're really tough questions for your project coordinator interview and I want you two to prepare for these questions but if you'd like to download the full set of project coordinator interview questions and answers to make sure you pass your interview there's a link that's appeared right there in the top right hand corner you can download all of these and an additional large number of recommended project called an 18-degree questions that I reckon you study in preparation for your interview okay tell me about a project you were involved in where the client was dissatisfied what did you do to resolve the situation now there are not many people who are project coordinators who go through a project where they don't come across problems where clients are either dissatisfied of things go wrong but it's how you react to that situation this is what they're assessing here is how do you react when somebody is dissatisfied because things go wrong what do you do do you do you crumble or do you show determination and resilience and you respond in a positive manner well here's my suggested answer in the very early days of working on projects I was part of a team that almost failed to deliver on a specific project now the team was tasked we've completed a new website for a client who had a set budget and time frame for completion now whilst the initial planning stage of the project went well the project coordinator at the time kept agreeing to changes requested by the client partway through the project now each time the client requested a change or addition to the website it simply ate into our budget and it also increased the workload on the team as the week's progressed the pressure on the team grew simply because we had agreed to too many changes without negotiating an increased project budget or time scales I decided to speak to the coordinator to express my concerns and also suggest we go back to the client to request additional funds and and also an extension of four weeks to the project now the project coordinator agreed and when he spoke to the client they were reluctant about agreeing to our request however they did go ahead and agree to them and I believe my suggestions actually saved a project from failure I learned a huge amount from that experience and I would never agree to project alterations unless I was a hundred percent confident I could deliver on my promises so that shows again that you are the one that identifies as a problem but you challenge it head-on to solve it and of course the client isn't very happy about the fact that you've approached them again and but this demonstrates that you know and you say there at the end that you learn a huge amount from my experience and you'd never agree to project alterations unless you could deliver on the promises final question tough one explain how you would coordinate a project that had a limited budget and limited members of staff at your disposal so a lot of companies and organizations and clients are looking to cut costs okay so this this basically assesses your ability to use a limited budget and limited members of staff to coordinate a project here's a great answer to this question I believe in the modern world we need to make more effective use of outsources to complete specific tasks and that is exactly what I would do if I had a difficult project to coordinate which had a tight budget and limited resources now there are some excellent websites available such as upwork.com freelancer comm and also people per hour comm where I could access experts from different industries such as graphic design web development econ some admin etc and I would use these experts to carry out specific project tasks where I was unable to hire someone internally now this approach would have a number of benefits in the fact that I would not need to manage the people directly and they would also only get paid and less the project tasks was completed to my specification and also to the required standards that I said and I believe this smart approach to project coordination would ensure I could manage multiple tasks remotely and also more importantly at a reduced cost and that shows that your innovative in your thinking because there's many websites out there like I say I mentioned just three their upward comm freelancer people per out where you could hire experts and they only get paid when you know they do a really good job and you're happy with it but they work around the world and you can get loads of jobs done as a project coordinator without actually having to hire people internally but more importantly you can do that at a reduced cost so it keeps the project costs as low as possible now don't forget you want to download all of my project coordinator interview questions please click that link in the top
