      Publications Manager Interview

      21 Jan 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AAAS (Washington, DC) in Mar 2010

      Interview

      An inexperienced HR employee (who was leaving the company in 2 weeks) did a perfunctory interview after I had waited for over 45 minutes for her boss to break free. It was the most general of interview questions, not specific to the job I was applying for in any shape or form. The HR person took few notes and seemed totally uninterested in what she was doing. She escorted me to the elevator for the next round on interviewers and didn't even introduce me to them. The vp and art director in this interview made it clear that I was overqualified for the position and said "you'd be bored here." Then the vp said "you know that this department has to "pay for itself" by charging back to other departments within the association. I told them that I had managed a department of 6 people in a similar situation for a contracting firm but they seemed focused on the fact that I was not coming from exactly their type of departmental structure. After I asked a few more questions about the role I would play, they indicated that it would be insignificant and basically it would be a paper pusher and administrative position. The offices were very crowded and tiny, unexpectedly because they had moved into this new building recently. Their were workspaces crammed into what should have been walkways.

      Question 1

      How are you going to make this department pay for itself?
