I think I might of blown it though. It was for a small cell-phone company and when I went in it was for a data entry position, but as she talked to me, she asked if I would be interested in being an Office Manager! I told her of course I would, and she said one gal is transferring to another department. So anyway we started discussing my qualifications and then she said "We are such a small company, would you mind if EVERYONE who works here interviews with you?" Well that stopped me, and I sat on it for a minute, and said "Well, that depends on if you want me to motivate these people to get their work done, or become their best friends? Personally, I would rather motivate them." We ended on that note. AAAAACK! How would some of you handled such an odd question? Or is it odd at all?
I think you answered that wonderfully. The reason she was asking you the question was to get a reaction. The fact that you reflected and didn't jump to an answer says a lot. Your answer says a lot about your character too (which is good) and how you would handle a possibly stressful situation.
I think that was a great answer! Wow, not often you go in an get interviewed for a better job than you applied for. That in itself says they saw something in your resume that they really liked! Let us know how it turns out.
I think it was a good answer, too! I have never heard of having everyone in the office interview the person, that sounds kinda silly!! I hope they will call you back and hire you! Let us know!!
I think that was a very odd question. I've never heard of being interviewed by the entire office! Not unless you were working for all of them. I think you gave a fine answer. I mean, you were honest and it is a concern about getting too chummy with the people who work under you.
