   Remember to include a few questions that allow candidates to expand on their strengths in their own words. Asking about their unique skills might reveal things you'd miss otherwise. At this point, good candidates can move on to the technical interview.

   Sometimes, it's not enough to interview bas project manager candidates, so you can ask them to do a test project. If you are not a technical person and don't know what a test project should be, you can use these websites:
