Hi, how are you?
Good thanks.

I’m a mechanical engineer project manager.
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
When I was a kid I always wanted to be an engineer, but I never knew what kind of engineer I wanted to be.

Well I had the same job in a different company, but in that company I was the owner.
What skills or training you need to do well in your job?
You need to have management skills, and good leadership.

Do you like your job, and if you do what do you like about it? And if you don’t want don’t you like about it?
I like my job, because I have a flexible schedule (I can go home whenever I finish my work, and I can come to work from six o’clock a.m. to nine o’clock a.m.), and I get to help people.

A good Project manager can lead a group, and actually accomplish something, but a bad project manager just tells people what to do and sits around, and nothing gets accomplished.
