Project Coordinator at BlackBerry
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Waterloo, ON (Canada) Feb 2009 – Reviewed May 10, 2013
Interview Details
Applied online through their website and received an e-mail from a recruiter a week-ish later with a request for an interview. I live in the Waterloo Region so the interview was held at one of their offices in Waterloo.
Interview ended up being a full-day long, and rotated between the hiring manager and HR rep, hiring manager and one of the project managers I'd support, hiring manager and the director, and hiring manager and a manager from a different department. Asked a series of questions, primarily on past experiences and how I'd react in different situations.
Was thanked for coming in and later received phone call (1-1.5 weeks later) offering me the position.
Interview Question – Some questions relating to PM-BOK lifecycle and process. Nothing too difficult, but a good idea to read through it if you received your designation years ago and forgot some of the fluff parts. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – This was more of a safety position. I had another offer for a position better suited to my skillset at another organization.
