[webproducers] Re: Interview Questions for Web Producer/PM Job

I describe the role as a football coach (motivate and direct the  
team), translator (get those tech and creative and business people  
understanding each other), and rodeo clown(when the bulls start  
charging you take it for the team). I want examples of how the  
candidate fills those roles. This is after I make sure they have the  
organizational, technical and pm chops for the role.
The other part of of is I want to see how they solve problems. Chances  
are you'll be faced with situations or challenges that are new. I try  
to get an understanding of how they approach new situations and use  
past experience or knowledge to come up with new solutions.
