Dear Divine Man,
Here is my situation: Recently I was selected to be apart of a phone interview(screening out prospects) for a full time position.
With in a week after, I was contacted my the same person and was asked to come in for a face to face interview. I went and was interviewed by the CEO, and 2 other employees.
It went great, and as a “thank you” I brought them a creative parting. Which must have impressed them, because I was asked back in for a second.
The night before the second interview I received an email telling me to them. So I did.
I was told on the phone that they were moving in a different direction with the position and were offering to another person, however they were interested in me for another position. They asked me to still come in as planned. I went.
I was told how impressive and talented I am, and how they did not want me to “slip through their fingers” and that the CEO wants me to head up a new department. I am flattered. However it won’t start for about 2-3 months and in the meanwhile they want me to come in on a freelance basis.
2 days later I am asked to provide more examples of my experience. I have already shown them a number of samples, portfolio, etc. What more am I to do?
Please share your Divine wisdom!
Christopher
Dear Christopher,
You could contact this company and offer to come in and demonstrate your work ethic, giving them your time and showcasing your talents is more then enough. Time is the investment. It also shows you are dedicated and serious.
But, don’t give them to much, nor any opportunity for them to steal your work.
If are hand you any issues after you offering this to them, I would move on. But it’s just my opinion. I am not a fan of prospective employers that change course half way through, drag it out, or lie.
All the best!
Divine Man
