702 contract manager interview questions shared by candidates

Questions are technical. Even though the role was within Legal, they very much wanted to know they were hiring someone with IT infrastructure and cloud knowledge. They were far less concerned with my ability to negotiate Ts and Cs than my ability to work with their deal desk and negotiate around the client's info sec requirements related to the deal.

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.
