Contacted by HR rep who was very courteous throughout the process, and excellent to work with. I can’t say the same for the Business Development and Growth VP who interviewed me, what an amateur. He was completely unprepared in his questioning. He didn’t have any technical or proposal writing background for which I was interviewing, just hypothetical sales questions. When I asked what his strategy was for approaching clients, he said it was based on what the clients government websites said (on a high-level) about ’transformation', which struck me as a complete fantasy. He asked twice early in the interview if what he was wanting to do sounded crazy and if I wanted to end the Teams call then and there. I did actually think it was crazy, but tried to be respectful and kept going with the interview. The following week, the same HR contact reached out to say I didn’t get the job, which is perfectly fine, the role and company sounded highly unstable and sketchy. ‘On a wing and a prayer' is no strategy for trying to recruit and build out a team of professionals, then try and land new business. He didn’t even know what a style guide is. Good luck finding someone for this! I know I dodged a bullet.
