  • Now the skills and attributes I possess include ensuring projects, a deer to frameworks and relevant documentation.

  • If you want to know, I'll tell you at some stage where you can get a copy of all of these and other stale, be partial interview.

  • Let's have a look at the second question on, but I want you to prepare for fuel project coordinator into you.

  • Describe a situation you were in where you experienced conflict as part of a task or project and how you dealt with it.

  • So whenever you are involved in a car, any kind of project where people are involved, other people on your 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 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 since the 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 on 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 on Dwork collaboratively is part of a team to achieve the project times.

  • 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 on 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 we asked to be specific in nature.

  • That's a great answer because I've recognized the conflict.

  • But more importantly, this is what want you to do is you stop it straight to Well, you don't use aggression, but you use persuasion techniques, okay, and this is a setting 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 Life Cycle and the steps you would follow in coordinating a project.

  • So if you're gonna coordinate a project as a project coordinator, you have to understand the life cycle of a project which is a different stages.

  • Here we go.

  • There are a number of different phases.

  • I would go through what's 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 in porky milestones.

  • I would 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 onto 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 off the project life cycle.

  • Now I'm gonna give you two more questions, So please do stick around and listen to, because they're really tough questions for your Project Coordinator interview.

  • I want youto 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 Parcher interview, there's a link disappeared right there in the top right ankle.

  • You can download all of these andan additional large number off recommended project coordinating to be questions.

  • I reckon you study in preparation for your interview.

  • Okay, tell me about a project you're 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 or even 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 of 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 have completed a new website for a client who had a set budget and time frame for completion at whilst the initial planning stage of the project went well, the project coordinator at the time kept agreeing to changes requested by the client part way through the project.

  • Now, each time a client requested a change or addition to the website, it's simply ate into our budget and it also increased the workload on the team as the weeks progress the pressure on the teen group simply because we had agreed to too many changes without negotiating an increased project budget or time scales.

  • I decided to speak to the coordinated to express my concerns and also suggest we go back to the client too.

  • Of course, additional funds in on 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 on.

  • I believe my suggestions actually saved the project from failure.

  • I learned a huge amount from that experience that would never agree to project alterations unless it was 100% confident I could deliver on my promises.

  • That shows again that you are the one that identify identifies is 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 him again on.

  • But this demonstrates that, you know, and you say there at the end that you learn a huge amount from experience and you'd never agree to project alterations unless you could deliver on the promises on a 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 inclined to looking to cut costs.

  • Okay, so this this basically assesses your ability to use a limited budget, 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 Maur 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 resource is now.

  • There are some excellent websites available, such as up work dot com, freelancer dot com, and also people per hour dot com, where I could access experts from different industries such as graphic design with development e commerce, a madman, et cetera.

  • 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 unless the project task 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 you're innovative in your thinking because there's many websites out there like a sailor.

  • Mention just three.

  • They're up work dot com freelancer People parole 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 loaded.

  • Job's done.

  • It's a project coordinator without actually having to hire people internally.

  • But more importantly, you can do that at a reduced cost.

  • So he keeps the project costs a cz low as possible.
