I should not be - I haven't got courses on Simplilearn. I'd be grateful (and offer a reward) if you could send me a link to the course you are doing with my content. You can find my email in the About tab of my channel page.

Bonni, everyone has their own truth. And that is based on our own experiences. I have based my advice on fair interviews that a lot of PM candidates are likely to get. Clearly, you've had some bad experiences. And while it is common for employers to specify minimum qualifications (maybe MBA and PMP), that is not unreasonable - even if I don't agree with it. I would hope that this would appear on the job or candidate spec. I certainly would not expect an MBA to be on a requirement list in many places. However, you do refer to large consulting firms. This is an important - but narrow - class of employer. And they are different. The likes of Deloitte, PwC, E&Y, and McKinsey have very high expectations of performance, intellect, and commitment. In return, they pay the highest salaries for a level of experience in each location they operate. So, it is true and unsurprising that they set high requirement levels. That said, when I recruited PMs in the London office of Deloitte (now 20 years ago) we required neither MBA nor PM qualification. We saw those as nice-to-have. Experience and the quality of the person were the deciders. Finally - cronyism. It's a cancer on all aspects of society everywhere. And I won't defend it nor deny its existence. But we should be glad to be out of a place where it is rife. And be aware that what can come across as 'people-like-us' cronyism can be a shield for what is really intolerance and bigotry towards women, other races and cultures, and other orientations and lifestyles. But don't for one minute think that it is peculiar to our profession. It's everywhere. And I have no advice for how to overcome it, since the only way is to be 'on the inside' - which most talented people cannot achieve. So simply avoid it. However, I remain optimistic. On 4 August I have a video coming up that takes as its starting point, Twain's quote: 'Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions… small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can somehow become great.' I prefer to focus on the positive, and I recommend you work with people who make you feel great.

I am sorry you don't think this video is useful to you. I do have an article that lists many of the questions you might expect: onlinepmcourses.com/prepare-project-management-interview/ However, if you are hoping for sample answers to interview questions, you have come to the wrong person. I do not believe it is ethical to suggest model answers. If a viewer were to get a job based on the answers a RU-vidr suggests, then: 1. The employer would not be getting the person they thought 2. The person could well find themselves out of their depth on day 1 Yes, there are doubtless channels that offer that kind of coaching. Mine will never be one. I expect my viewers to consider what I say and think through the ideas for themselves to figure out how to apply it to their own context. If that does not work for you, then I am sorry.

Okay... What would you like more detail on? This video was intended to be broad.

@@Onlinepmcourses like going around the bush on broad details. Is better to have details and examples of real life. Check type in "product management mock up interview", with a exercise like that ia real useful and provides a guide on how to crack an interview.

@@DanielSanchez-cc7nt Umm - if that's the video you like, fair enough. But this isn't a mock interview video. Sorry.
