There was a preliminary hiccup with scheduling — we are still in the middle of daylight saving time, but the interview was set for central standard time, which left me wondering if the interviewer happened to be in one of those parts of the country that spurns daylight saving time altogether. The salary offer was astonishingly low; it would be low for anywhere in the country, especially for a director-level position, but given that they are hiring for a client in West Palm Beach, an annual salary of $45,000 is altogether unworkable; no one would be able to afford rent on that salary, much less a mortgage. The interview quickly devolved into a perplexing and defensive justification of vocabulary and semantics. The interviewer stated several times that this was an entry-level position, and did not involve management. I noted that the very title of the position included the word “director,” and that two separate duties in the description noted management responsibilities and a third bullet point noted working as an advisor. I further noted that most people would not see a job listing with the word “director” in the title that mentions both managerial and advisory work as entry level.
