From where you stand now, what is your impression of that initial interview?
I think my initial interview was very educational, but not eye opening. Everyone wants to open a business and sell it for a hige profit after 5 years, and move onto the next project. Make a lot of money and have fun with it is drilled into our brains. Altough, real world business does not always flow perfectly. There are set back and hills to climb over. Nick Saban believed in a term called THE PROCESS. Go in a do your best everyday to work towards the goal you seek. That is what business is all about. Get the job done, and just grind.
I am not asking the same question instead I am asking my Boss what he sees in the future of his company what my physical presence will bring, and what is his exit strategy.
Government Contracting dealing with parts being manufacturer to delivered for specific projects. I will start learning the process of government sourcing and dealing with DLA to help our company grow into a multimillion dollar enterprise. My Boss does not have an exit strategy. After 20 years of this job he might spend another 10 working and then sell the company off or hand it to managers to handle the daily operating.
Well I have always been very blunt with people and conducting interviews is something I consider easy, so tht did not change. I did ask different questions, but I think that is more dependent on the material we were learning at the time.
Hey Stephen,
ReplyDeleteGood job. I think you made your point clear. You asked simple questions that provided a lot of information. It reflected your concerns about starting up a business and you added how anyone can start a business, or at least most people want to, but it takes ambition to pull through. I should have asked what the individual who I interviewed thought about their exit strategy. It would have been interesting to learn how others view their business and their future. I liked how you asked how your presence will reshape the company because it's always good to know what the employer expects from you. Good luck on your endeavors.

Hello Stephen, Good job on completing the assignment but you need to go through and do a spell check. I saw a few spelling errors. An example was hige when I'm sure you meant huge. Also I was not clear about who you interviewed. You said it was your boss but at no point did you say his name or the company he operettas. As a reader I would like to know who you are talking about. Well have a good one, feel free to check out my interview if you get the chance. I'd enjoy any feed back.
