Great tool @RaphKomjat ! Could be great to get anonymous (but validated) proposals for answers (from candidates) and questions (from recruiters). We often feel uncomfortable asking for help, review, advices when it comes to preparing interviews because we don't know if it's the right person, if it's very appropriate, .... Especially in PM as it is such a large field! Record your interview preparation (do you remember talking to your wall preparing your first interview ;), then filter the voice so you feel *free* and get frank feedback. Just an idea!

Thanks for your contribution @SoleneMa :)
I first thought about proposing my answers to the questions - you do need to work on them -, so I definitely feel you here. However because answers have to be really personal and relate to your experience, I started to feel like anonymity would be hard to keep. Plus I don't pretend to have the perfect answers.
It would be a good idea though to start with the Design and Estimation categories, for which good answers can be a bit more generic
What I thought about adding shortly for each category of question would be a "hint", showing an adequate framework for answering. I found it very useful to structure your thoughts during an interview.
The opportunity to have your answers evaluated by some professional recruiters is an interesting idea, if you know any recruiter that may enjoy the concept, please put me in touch!

This is a great mechanism, would love to see it applied to other positions! Design, Development, Social Media etc.
@RaphKomjat yes!!! very useful. As a candidate I would want this badly and push to get it out of them in the interview if they don't disclose it up front.

@shawnvenkat this book is a must read. I'd put it in the hand of anyone trying to get into Product Management. Great inspiration for the site too indeed. Now will try to get even more sources for content!
@RaphKomjat great little site. I opened it, started a question and came back later only to realize I didn't know how to advance to the next question. Might be helpful to keep the advance to next question prompt there or provide some minimal navigation. Thanks :)

Thanks @alwaysunday , I'll consider having the navigation available at all time. I can guess how frustrating that was!
