napoleandynamite Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The last interview I went on, I felt ambivelant towards what my job would be like if I was offered the position there. I asked the potential employer a few professional questions. Here were his responses that kind of stood out to me and bothered me. What would you have thought? BTW...this is for a Receptionist/Admin position. 1. Where do you see this company in five years? His answer- "We'll probably be bought out by then, but I doubt we'll have too many lay-offs" 2. What would you say the biggest challenges a person in this role with your company faces? His answer- "Uh...I would have to say lack of direction. Because there is no training really provided. Basically you're being thrown to the wolves here." 3. May I ask why this position is open? His answer- "Well, no one has ever worked this position before. It's created." *He was also somewhat unsure as to who I would be reporting to on a daily basis. He "thinks" the Mgr of Sales or maybe someone else but he wasn't too sure because there are really two positions open or he may just make it one. Other than that, the interview was okay. So what do you all think? Link to post Share on other sites
