Had a job interview for a Sales Support / Inside Sales Positions.. Which did require some admin work and office work ( 5-10 people full time , 4 typical) ..
The president basically instantly ( after "tell me about yourself") said that he felt I would be bored and way to ambitious for the position. Also suggested the pay is much lower than what I would be searching to achieve ( ironically it was about 15% higher than previous positions)
So did I get blown off, was it a interview technique that I royally screwed up, I am a realist and while it was nice to hear I just can't wrap my head around it...
It's totally normal. If I hire someone whose experience and ambition far exceeds the career path and timeline I can offer, I'll be rehiring for that position sooner than later.
Better off hiring someone who is more in line with the position offered.
You may want to learn to dumb down the resume and presentation. Far too often, candidates will try and make the mundane seem grandiose.
