Awhile back I went up to a sales manager to ask what do they look for when hiring a sales person. Before I even got to finishing my question, I was told, by the sales manager to apply for a current sales position that was open at my site. So, I said okay. Got called by the recruiter to schedule a phone interview, went back to the sales manager and was told that I could not have the job due to lack of experience. I’ve been working at this job for 10 years. What was the point of the interview?

The sales manager sounds like they have crippling emotional damage, and can only get out of bed if they think they can tear someone down that day.

They just wanted to cut the conversation short. He hadn't talked to you, so had no idea if you were qualified. Only your willingness to walk up to a stranger and engage. Unless he had obviously dismissed me, I would have said thank you and asked a specific follow up about the job he was referencing.

Hello Fishies,

I am done with all my rounds at S&P Global and shared my documents to HR. No one has asked about my expected salary yet. Is this usual in their process. How much can I ask for an experience of 9 years. How many days does it take to release the offer and what is the slary structure.

1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
