Contract Manager Interview Questions

"If you are applying for an entry-level position in contract management, your employer will be mostly concerned with your ability to handle clerical tasks and assist upper management in evaluating contract agreements, so you can expect the interview to be comprised of basic questions to assess your work ethic. The interview for an upper-level contract management position will better evaluate your ability to negotiate contract details and develop policies, so prepare to answer questions about your knowledge of contract law and company policies."

This was a position for a PM of a network upgrade. I was surprised at their lack of understanding concerning this position's role in the network upgrade. They did say they were new to the position, but they could not answer basic questions about the project. The hours were from 4 am - 2 pm seven days a week. I asked if the hours were due to the installations being done after hours. They didn't know if that was the reason, but they went on to say it was because there were installations on the west coast, but that was the extent of what they knew about the work schedule. When we discussed the length of the contract, I asked how they determined the project's end date. Unfortunately, they could not tell me how many of their 1000+ stores were upgraded per week and how many remained to be converted. While these are only 2 examples, they should have been able to answer several other questions. I felt like they needed someone to blame if the project fell apart.
