One of the hiring staff members left a voice mail to set up an interview. I returned her call, but it took her two business days to respond. We set up an interview time, and she sent an email confirmation. The interview took place 8 days later at the company's office in Grand Junction. The office environment seemed nice and professional without being too formal. I waited in the reception area for a few minutes and was offered a glass of water. Then, I was called into a conference room for the interview. The panel consisted of four employees. One of the employees sat next to me, so I didn't feel interrogated like I have during other panel interviews. The interviewers laughed and made some jokes at a few points during the interview, but overall, they seemed sort of serious and unrelaxed. The interview started out with a very brief introduction, and then they went straight into the questions. I was used to employers starting out with a description of the company and the job, which tends to relax me and provides useful information for my follow-up questions about the position. I didn't really like how they jumped straight into the questions. Most of the questions related to the position and were reasonable. They didn't ask the standard questions, such as what are your strength and weaknesses. They asked me if I had any business contacts I could provide as potential clients, which I wasn't expecting. They also asked if I would accept part-time work because they thought the position could evolve into part-time work, which annoyed me a little because I drove for several hours to attend the interview with the expectation that the position would be full time. The other issue I had was that I found out that 50% travel to other states was expected. I think that such a high percentage of travel should have been listed in the job posting. I wished I had asked this question before accepting the interview. Overall, though, the interviewers were professional and the interview was fairly normal. They thanked me for my time and gave me their business cards along with some information about the company. I was left with a positive overall impression of the company. Two days letter, I received a polite rejection email. The only problem with the email is that it was unclear which skills I was lacking that the position required. The interview had left me with some good guesses, though. At this point, I had already decided the position wasn't right for me, so I wasn't too disappointed. I think they were looking for someone with more experience than I had. The most interesting thing about the interview process was that one of the owners sent a follow-up email that was also sent to me, saying that he hoped they had also called me. In fact, they hadn't called me. I don't think I was meant to be a recipient of the email.
