Been called today for an interview for project management post whilst the lady is on maternity leave. I am extremely nervous. The interview is on Monday.

I have a development and project management background. But I have been a SAHM for the last 3 years and complete out of the development and project management world. I did do a project management course this but now that I have been called for an interview I can't seem to remember anything.

I am nervous as hell and will spend the weekend preparing.

Are there any project management people out there that can give a few tips and ideas on what kind of questions they will ask during the interview???

Thank you

From past experience (I'm in the same boat as you), it will be about meeting deadlines, what happens when you can't; achievements- what you have achieved, handed over, completed; working with others- teams, staff, stakeholders, etc, difficult people; obstacles and challenges- what have you overcome and how did you do it.
