Just go over projects that you have managed and break them down, thinking about what went right and what didn’t, and how you turned it around, for example

You see now that’s the problem. I don’t have any ‘formal’ experience to draw on ‘cos my job has never needed it. I do have examples to hand of where it didn’t work so well, and a more recent example of when it did, but these are not the formal/corporate experience that they are talking about.

No matter. Apparently I find out tomorrow afternoon – there’s a meeting… *runs off and hides*

In the end, it boiled down to who was best prepared for interview. So, the only advice that I can give you is to go over the job description in the minutest detail and then prepare several examples against each competency/criteria. Check to see if you are allowed to bring in crib sheets/prompts.
You are so right about project management – and you are half-way there already. Just go over projects that you have managed and break them down, thinking about what went right and what didn’t, and how you turned it around, for example. If you want specific terminology, I’m happy to provide it.
