From chat gpt-4

I just finished my 2nd round of interviews. It feels like it went very well.

When the interview got to the typical “tell me about a project that went bad” question, I told him a true instance where a happy customer retired, his replacement didn’t like our product and stalled the project. I had to meet with the new customer to identify his concerns, go back to our project team and re-pitch our product in terms of their needs.

The hiring manager thought I was cappin with a PMBOK cookie cutter answer, so I gave him the minute details of what happened, the system and the product, what teams I worked with to resolve it…and he was impressed.

He said I’m moving forward to the last interview, which will be a panel of two other VPs.

I’m slowly working on the first cert. My job put me in charge of signing up for Okta, so I had the sales breh add in the training pass. But the official video courses are really dry and go over everything little thing.

So I signed up for Plural Sight because they have a course that covers the exam.
