Position: Junior Project Manager
Category: Project Manager
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 11

Last time I worked on a financial consulting company that grew to 100 employees engaged in customer projects, including numerous contract staff. ALEF provided accountancy, tax, and IT services to a large number of local companies.
As the founder and owner of ALEF, I took on many of the leadership responsibilities, including financial management, project oversight, and general support.
This role allowed me the opportunity to make significant contributions to the organisation's business processes, project management, financial stability, and successful product/system launches.
I am an accomplished Accountant, Business Analyst, and Project Manager with over 26 years of experience, including leading projects and managing a successful company. Since moving to the UK from Ukraine, I am making a career change and looking to apply my skills in the IT industry. My experience in project management, business process design, and financial modeling are all relevant for a role in IT.
Most of my prior career has been in Ukraine (roles listed immediately below). Since moving to the UK, I have also gained some local experience in short-term roles, while I seek to establish myself in a new country, and these roles are listed lower down.
For me essential have answers to these questions: 
Can you describe the typical work hours and expectations for overtime or weekend work?
What is the management style within the organization, and how are decisions typically made?
How is performance evaluated, and what is the approach to feedback and performance improvement?
Can you provide information on the company's policy regarding work-life balance and employee well-being initiatives?
Are there opportunities for remote work or flexible work arrangements?
How would you describe the company's approach to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity?
Can you provide insights into the team's dynamics and the level of collaboration versus individual work?
What is the organizational structure, and how does it impact decision-making and career growth opportunities?
Are there opportunities for skill development and continuing education within the company?
Can you share the company's approach to social responsibility and sustainability?
