Top 10 things NOT to say when interviewing for a Telligent Program Manager position
Over the last several weeks we have been conducting interviews for new positions, among these are Telligent Program Manager positions. We have talked to several great candidates, and some, uh..not so great.
As a public service I thought I would post the Top 10 things NOT to say when interviewing for a Telligent Program Manager position:
10. "...so I told the developers to go ahead and start coding while I went and gathered the requirements..."
9. "...who is the hot blonde that runs the office -- does she have a boyfriend?"
8. "...I'm not really a fan of Microsoft technologies..."
7. "Are any of your projects done in COBOL?"
6. "Every single project I have managed has been on time and on budget -- I have never made a mistake..."
5. "I like that dress is casual at Telligent -- is it true that bathing is also optional?"
4. "You mean, as a Program Manager I would be expected to actually respond to every email directed towards me -- wow, that's asking a lot..."
3. "I feel that I should estimate the project without having to get input from the people who will actually build the site, after all, I am the Program Manager..."
2. "Sure I work well with others -- those assault cases were anomalies..."
1. "Personally, I think social networking and community sites are just a passing fad..."
