It wasn't a Q&A, it was a high concept interview. A lot of marketing strategy and the future of the company. Because the owner, who was very deer-in-the-headlights, didn't know much about marketing, other than the point-and-click ability to run Facebook ads, I did most of the talking. He wanted to build a marketing department, with strategy, workflow, process, etc., for the future, which sounded great - that's what I do - but he also wanted immediate gratification. I should have walked out here, too. Marketing is about laying a foundation and building from there. He didn't understand that. He wanted his jollies right away and was very uncomfortable when I tried to examine that - again, I got the sense he really lacked rudimentary marketing know-how. I walked out the interview with mixed feelings, I would have likely taken the job, so I went ahead and emailed him materials that I normally charge for when I do consulting. I'm sure it was like looking at Chinese to him. Again, his marketing knowledge was quite dim. Two major negatives, the run-around for the interview process was too much for a low-paying job. The job only paid about $37,000 and you'd be on the hook for 50% of the health insurance - that's a bad sign right there. Additionally, they call themselves the hippies, but he said he would happily sell a cheap product from China if it had a picture of Jerry Garcia on it. I'm sure Jerry Garcia is rolling over in his grave . . . Bottom line, he got a lot of high-level marketing consulting out of me for free, so this "hippie" is just looking to snooker you. Stay away from this company.
