Your practice track for Project Manager
at Globe Telecom

Philippine-specific tips for this role

• ▸ Don't apologize excessively for the delay as if it was your fault, like saying 'Pasensya na po, nagkaroon lang ng problema with the contractor.' Instead, own the resolution confidently by framing it as a proactive risk management action. Say something like 'The vendor issue was a challenge, but I immediately activated a backup plan.'
• ▸ Avoid saying 'Heavy din kasi ang workload ng IT, so medyo inintay lang namin sila.' This sounds passive. Instead, demonstrate active management by saying 'I scheduled a dependency workshop to identify where IT's timeline would impact our go-live, and we negotiated a compromise.'
• ▸ Do not say things like 'Mabait naman ang team ko, so nagtiyaga sila.' This sounds like you relied on their goodwill rather than your leadership. Instead, say 'I proactively adjusted the schedule and found a way to recognize their effort during the crunch.'
