Interview

Had my "conference call" interview with the Vermeer Manufacturing Company today. It was the first phone interview I've done in which I didn't already know the people on the other end. Kind of a weird experience.

I thought it went well until...the hiring manager from Vermeer (who was one of the interviewers) called me about one hour after the original 30-minute interview had concluded. I was scared when I saw the caller ID...was them calling back so soon a good thing or a bad thing? They said that they had more interviews on Monday and that they would make a decision by later next week...so it couldn't be that they had already decided on someone.

I answered, a bit hesitantly. She said that based on some of the things I said during the interview that I might be better suited for another position at Vermeer - a Sales Analyst. She said that I seemed like I was used to created and reading reports and this is an integral function of a Sales Analyst. She also suggested that my background in sales and my computer proficiency might make this a better fit than a position in the marketing department.

So, does this mean that they probably won't pick me for the position that I interviewed for today? Should I apply for the sales analyst job? Should I wait it out and see? After all, I'm applying to be a branch manager at the bank next week so I might want to wait and see how that turns out. What a conundrum.
