QUESTION 8 OF 30

What training or certifications do you have that you can apply directly as a Microsoft project manager?

Microsoft project manager roles do not always require certification in the various areas that add value to project management, but they are listed as preferred qualifications. Interviewers ask this question to identify candidates that match their preferences and are likely to have advanced knowledge of industry standards and best practices.

Remember to make the status of your certifications clear during an interview. Candidates that are not upfront about the status of expired certifications may be perceived as dishonest and excluded from additional interviews.

"I have current PMP, business analyst, and ITIL certifications. I have also studied lean practices, but I am not yet Six Sigma certified. All of these areas of study are directly applicable to my work as a project manager."
