Initial phone conversation was very positive. I was supplied with more than typical information. Things moved quickly to the next level, then the wheels came off. RED FLAG: when a Vice President begins with, “No matter what happens, I always enjoy just getting to know various people.” I take my selective searches very seriously. I am not looking to “meet new people,” I’m looking for a strong interview. Don’t waste my time, because I am certainly not wanting to waste yours! Don’t ask me for the next step if I am clearly not in the running.
