The first call with the recruiter was great, we really connected. But the two women I interviewed with in Houston were ridiculous. They barely asked questions about the actual role and one asked how I felt about micromanaging, which was funny considering it's apparently their reputation. They also asked why I left a commission-only job from 8 years ago, which was a silly question given the opportunity for a solid base salary and bonus structure now. It felt like they didn't prepare for the interview and were just asking random questions. I refuse to be belittled by an employer. They mentioned they are hiring 70-80 people this year, which shows growth but also high turnover, likely due to the environment, management, pay, or lack of opportunities. Many people probably try it for a few weeks or months and then leave. They asked the micromanaging question to see how far they could push me. If you interview, stand your ground and don't let them play you with their idiotic questions.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • What does micromanaging mean to you?
  • Can you explain why you left your first sales positions from 2018?

First they went over the role and my background. Then we talked about the culture, what the day to day is like, how the company is growing, and my territory. It was more of a conversation for the first interview call, and then the next step was with the sales manager.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process is a standard HR screening call and a panel interview with the hiring manager. That manager is under the assumption that SEO is a new addition to content marketing. Understanding SEO has impacted digital and content marketing since 1997, I was not motivated to seek professional development under the green manager. I think this is a great opportunity for someone fresh in their career willing to fact check their supervisor.
