The interview process offers a chance to dig deeper than a resume’s bullet points, and with the right interview questions, you can really experience the personality of a candidate. A person is more than the sum of their degrees, skills and work history: that is merely a black-and-white portrait. The color is how they behave in stressful situations, with groups of people they aren’t familiar with and other subtleties which often take months to reveal themselves.

I’ve been in a situation a few times where I’ve interviewed a candidate for a role. I’ve matched their CV to a well-prepared job specification. I’ve prepped a whole bunch of competency-based questions that the candidate answered well. An offer has been made, but when they start their new role, they don’t turn out to be quite as great as I expected. Am I a bad interviewer?

How do you manage your time at work? You’re probably not doing it well if you hear yourself saying this often, “I have too much to do and not enough time to do it in!” A few years back, I was living my life in chaos.

Program management and project management are often thought to be the same thing, but they have a range of differences separating them. A program is a set of several projects, making program management a much broader term. Multiple tools and resources are used in program management, along with close monitoring of the teams and project managers working on the tasks at hand.

For some, leadership comes naturally. For some, it's a skill to acquire. For some, it's simply an inconvenience. According to research , authentic leaders are portrayed as possessing self-knowledge and a personal point of view, which reflects clarity about their values and convictions. They are also portrayed as identifying strongly with their leadership role, expressing themselves by enacting that role and acting on the basis of their values and convictions.
