Job Interview
Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 5:43 pm
Hello everyone,
I was recently laid off from my job as a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep and am on the job hunt. Tomorrow I have a phone screen scheduled with another Pharmaceutical company (FYI, I would not work for many Pharm companies because of ethical reasons, but the products that this company sells can be beneficial, IMO). A recruiter helped set up tomorrow's phone interview and attempted to prep me in advance with some potential questions that I might be asked.
One thing troubled me however. She told me that she knew a few questions that I would be asked (I suppose from experience) and communicated them to me clearly. She said something like, "just keep this between you and me, but you'll probably be asked..... because I know." When she did this, I felt guilty for knowing what the phone screener would ask. I immediately thought, then this would give me an unfair advantage over others. I am thinking about cancelling tomorrow's interview and pursuing other job leads.
Although it is true that you can probably find various phone screening questions elsewhere online (and maybe other recruiters are doing the same thing), do you think I should still keep the interview for tomorrow? It does seem like a decent job (with far less out of state training than other companies).
Thanks.
Brian
