About your past
Tell me about the Oracle Cloud HCM modules you have configured and which phases of an implementation you have worked in.

Describe a time you managed or mentored a junior consultant. What did you do when their work was not ready?
What they are checking: Whether they coach and check work rather than quietly redoing it or letting errors reach the client.

Your work plan shows a task slipping that the client is counting on next week. What do you do?

The client asks you to take on a change that is outside the signed scope. How do you respond?

About the work

How do you explain effective dating to a client who keeps overwriting history?
What they are checking: Whether they understand a core HCM data concept well enough to teach it simply and prevent damage.
