4 GREAT TIPS FOR PREPARING FOR A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INTERVIEW
Whether you are applying to be a construction manager or a construction project manager, the four tips that follow will help you prepare to the best of your abilities. Although the tips are simple, they will go a long way to helping you be the standout candidate!
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #1
Get your answer ready to the ‘tell me about yourself’ interview question. Right at the start of your interview the hiring manager will ask you to introduce yourself. Because this is the first question, it is vital that you give a confident and smart answer that focuses on the skills and qualities you can bring to the role, and how you can add value to their team. See the answer at the top of this page for inspiration and ideas.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #2
Write down a list of the things that attract you to their organization. They will want to understand what has made you apply for the role with their company. Make sure you visit their website, look into their history, and determine anything positive that you can talk about in your answer to the interview question, why do you want to work for us as a construction manager?
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #3
A key area often assessed during construction manager interviews is budgeting skills. Before your interview, write down the steps or the process you always follow when determining and allocating a budget for a construction project.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER INTERVIEW TIP #4
Right at the end of your construction management interview, you will most likely have the opportunity to ask the interview panel some questions of your own. Here are three great questions to consider asking!
Q1. Can you tell me more about the type of construction projects I would be working on in this role?
Q2. What advice would you give to the successful candidate who wants to excel in the position and help your company achieve its commercial and strategic objectives?
Q3. What are the plans for the business over the next 5 to 10 years?
