I recently applied for a job that is in my career field and was a step up in role/responsibilities. “My Big Boy Job”. After the first two interviews, I was very confident that I was their guy. Both interviews ended with me being asked my salary expectations. I stated multiple times my expectations were between 75k-80k.
The third interview (video interview) comes. It involves the General Manager, Plant Manager, my possible manager, HR Manager, and the HR Assistant. I answer all the basic questions and I’m fairly confident that I nailed it.
Things get really weird when it I think it’s all over. Before the interview is over, I am asked a series of ludicrous questions from the manages.
- How many quarters can fit on a railroad track from LA to NY?
- How many people do you think steal from their employers? They needed an exact percentage. Zero was unacceptable.
- Would you feel insecure if you had superpowers when you were born and then lost them suddenly?
- How would you feel about working on assignment, in another state like Arkansas, for six months and then being told you have to stay there for 2 more years?
After answering these questions, all of the managers took notes and ended the interview. The next day I receive a call about my salary expectations which I repeat as 75k-80k. I get an offer letter for 60k. It was like a slap in the face. Apparently, my answers to the crazy questions were too well put together and showed I should take a lesser role with the same responsibilities.
