      Finance Project Manager Interview

      1 Aug 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Corning, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Corning (Corning, NY)

      Interview

      Had 2 phone interviews prior to being flown up to Corning at which point I had six 30 minute interviews with various people in the shared services project division who I would ostensibly have worked with. The questions asked were not terribly difficult to answer, however I found myself repeating the same answers to each person because the same questions were asked by each person with few unique questions with each person. "Tell me about yourself" and "Tell me why you want to be a project manager" were pretty much asked by each individual. Was informed two days later that I would not be offered the job, because they believe I lack the necessary experience, and that I rambled on too much and didn't "stay on topic" (mostly because I was nervous). Was also told that my communication was too informal, though I don't recall using slang, profanity, or straying into any topic that might be considered politically incorrect, so I really don't understand what that means. I really felt like I was a good fit for the position and felt well prepared for the interview, but I guess I talked myself out of the job offer by relating some of my experiences outside of project management to this position. In hindsight, I should have kept my answers much more brief and should have kept them strictly to my experience as a PM, even if I felt other experiences were just as relevant or more so. I appreciate the fact they provided my recruiter with the post-interview feedback so that I can learn from the experience since I have never had an interview that didn't result in a job offer. I wish they had determined I did not have enough experience for the job prior to asking me to take two days off of work, though that is probably mostly my fault since I did not focus my answers on my PM experience specifically. All in all, it was not a negative experience. Corning is a beautiful town, and Corning, Inc is a great company. I wish I had gotten the job and felt like I was well qualified for it, but the feedback they provided will help me land a job elsewhere. As long as you stay on topic during your interview and only emphasize your PM experience, you should have a more positive experience than I did. There were no difficult technical questions, which I was a little nervous about.
