Most people are scared of project manager interviews — not because they lack intelligence, but because they have no idea what hiring managers are actually assessing. They prepare for the wrong things, focus on technical jargon, and completely ignore the soft skills interviewers truly care about.

By the end, you’ll know exactly what interviewers want, how to communicate under pressure, and how to remove imposter syndrome by building undeniable proof you are a project manager.

Inside, I’ll show you:

Why technical knowledge barely matters in interviews

How imposter syndrome quietly sabotages your confidence

The mindset shift that turns you into a leader interviewers trust

What hiring managers are really evaluating (and why it’s not the PMBOK)

A bonus framework to answer tough PM interview questions
