How long have you been managing projects?
Interviewers ask this question to determine how experienced the candidate is. Some companies have official years of experience requirements, and this question validates the candidate's background in project management.
Let your interviewer know how long you have worked in project management officially. Also, include the details of any project management work you did in other roles. For example, a lead engineer may have served in a project management capacity for small projects before becoming a project manager by title.
"I have managed projects for three years. Before that, I led several projects as a senior graphic designer."
