INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Depth on the skills below matters more than breadth; expect follow-up questions on the details:
- Vendor Management — expect something like “You should be able to talk through what you put in a review so it changes behaviour rather than restating the contract. Keep it to a single real project.”
- Procurement — expect something like “Expect to be asked to describe how you'd run a comparison when the cheapest quote is not the best value.”
- Incident Management — expect something like “Be ready to explain what separates a postmortem that prevents a recurrence from one that just assigns blame. Pick the example you know best.”
The opening calls for 15+ years of relevant experience — the strongest answers name a project, a number and an outcome.
