Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Deepthi,

 

I think your best chance is to be quite open with the interview, and tell them you have no experience in planning, but are a quick and eager learner. Then demonstrate this by researching topics such as:

-Earned Value

-Forward Pass

-Backward Pass

-Total Float

-Critical Path

-Baselines

-Gantt Chart

-Predecessors and Sucessors

 

If they are looking for a junior planner to work under someone more experienced, they may consider you. However if they are looking fo someone with a basic understanding of primavera (which you won't have), then I think you are unlikely to be sucessful.

 

Good luck!
