TSE interview questions

Interviews done on site and over the phone. Spoke with the CEO and one of the senior VPs. Met with the various teams, from dev to OR, as well as the graphic designer, HR department, and technical writers.

Within 4 hours of applying, I had a return email requesting a telephone interview. As I was out of town at the time, they were very accommodating to my schedule. The first interview was very informal - a get to know you conversation. Not a lot of focus on my back history save for the direct connection experience recruiting and the industry I had focused in. I was sent information right away regarding typical work day and salary (commission) structure and invited to a second interview immediately. The second interview was to answer more questions on my part as well as some theoretical scenarios. It was also to assess a fit for the office. At the end of the interview, I was told that the position was mine if I wanted it. After hanging up and putting thought into it, I had more questions, so submitted them via email and received thorough responses within 3 days with the offer to follow up if I required clarification. I was very surprised that there wasn't a more formal process nor a request for references. I later came to realise that as you were to be a contractor, there was minimal risk on their part, so perhaps the need wasn't there as it would be if you were an employee. The position sounded great, the people I interviewed were informative and professional. This position would be ideal for someone who has an income already through a spouse or pension or who has the financial security to be able to work in a position without a guaranteed steady income.
