Top Project Coordinator Interview Questions & How to Answer

Question 1

Question #1: How do you approach problem-solving challenges?

How to answer
How to answer: Start by explaining how you minimize problems before they arise. Provide an overview of how you approach problems once you have identified them. As you frame your response to the question, talk about a specific problem you have faced in the past and outline what methods you used to solve it. Finish your answer by highlighting what lessons you learned from the experience.
Question 2

Question #2: How do you handle competing requests and priorities for your time?

How to answer
How to answer: A project coordinator needs to manage myriad details, and each project stakeholder can have different priorities and deadlines. Explain how you analyze and prioritize each component in the overall context of the project. Highlight that you can be flexible with your time but that your focus is always on the project's goals. Also, mention how you communicate with different stakeholders to keep them on track and manage their expectations along the way.
Question 3

Question #3: What project management experience would you bring to this position?

How to answer
How to answer: A project coordinator can be an entry-level role in project management, so you won't always be expected to have direct project management experience. Draw on any experience you've had that demonstrates you can stay organized and precise. You can provide examples of work you've done for university group projects, organizing surveys, or preparing for an event.

He made a comment to me that "oh I'm surprised they let you work there without a degree". I felt so belittled and if he would have taken the time to read my resume he would have seen I had a degree. To me it wasn't even worth it because this man was terrible he had no clue on how to interview and he was all about himself. I just did not even care to interview after what he said to me. I did not even tell him I had a degree. But then he goes on to say the person they have working in HR was not an HR person she learned the ropes. Then he had the nerve to say oh I thought you were working in a corporate office, not a store. Then he said oh I didn't read over your resume. Well how terrible is that. I came in for an interview and you did not have a clue about me. I just want people to know that that is not a way you do an interview. He made me feel smaller than small and he actually hurt my feelings. All he did is gloat about himself and his 401k and other things. Clearly this person was as unprofessional as they come.
