Audition Type #2: Management Audition

A management audition is similar to a technical audition, but because the functional skills are so different, and because senior technical people may also require some management capability, I see these as two different kinds of auditions.As usual, your mileage may vary. Here are some possible management auditions:

  • Facilitate a meeting
  • Give a presentation
  • Analyze some budget information. Don’t forget to ask what they would do with that budget and why
  • Organize a project portfolio
  • Develop an audition for a manager. (ok, that’s slightly evil :-)

If you have other good ideas, please comment away.

Hiring technical people and being hired can be difficult, no matter what the economy is doing. Use the tips here to hire better, or find a new job.
