An Unconventional Interview?
I went in for a 2nd interview with a prospective company this evening. Interestingly enough, of a 300+ employee, the CEO wanted to interview me!! I was a little surprised. Whatever, the case, I figured it couldn't be too bad.

Given his reputation from the company's website, he's a busy busy man, running from department to department all day. So naturally, I'd be waiting in a meeting room for almost an hour for him to show. I found this to be understandable. What was weird was what happened next...

After the normal introductory conversation, he handed me a blank page and asked me to draw him a map from the company to Stanford University. Although I gladly complied, I was totally thinking: "What on earth is he trying to do?"

So while he left the room, I drew a map (as detailed as 15 minutes can allow me) and presented it to him when he came back. I even added instructions numbered by line item, accompanying the map. After, that he asked me questions about my work ethic and what my idea of a successful marketing campaign would consist of. Then it was over. Then the hiring director came in a escorted me out of the building.

As I got back to the car, I was really wondering .o0O(this is an interview??) I don't know if this is good or bad. It really makes me wonder what if anything that he was looking for.

Thoughts, anybody??
