He didn't so much ask questions as present his grandiose thoughts of himself and expectations for a "work horse" CFO. He doesn't take more than a weeks' vacation and expects others to follow suit. Likewise pretty much everything else he had to say was full of himself and his wants and needs. He ALSO stated that whomever he hired would be expected to fire staff he didn't like. Really???
The most interesting interview element was a two-hour "brainstorming" session with the two top SVPs of the company.
Listen to them talk about the job in a "maybe it is like this" tone
How do you build accountability?
Mostly, discuss your background. Very few specific questions.
Tell me about yourself.
All questions were informal as it was for a very high level career
Were did you go to college
Those questions that involve 'what would you do' or 'how would you handle this situation', are the hardest to answer quickly. Be on top of your game!! Respond slowly and deliberately. The want an answer, give it to them.
