I recently went through a rather unusual interview process for a part-time marketing position at a massive company that operates across all 50 states and generates hundreds of millions to billions in revenue. The role was advertised as only requiring 15 hours a week, but the interview process has been extensive and involved several high-ranking executives. I started with an initial interview with the head of HR for the entire company, which felt quite intense for a part-time role. Then, I had a second interview with the head of cybersecurity, followed by a third with the chief legal counsel and the chief compliance officer. To top it off, my final interview was supposed to be with the founder of the company. Interestingly, the chief legal counsel was the one who reached out to schedule my meeting with the founder. When I took a bit longer than 45 minutes to respond, the head of HR even texted me to check if I received the message. Feeling bold, I mentioned that I had a profitable idea that could potentially turn this part-time role into a full-time position. I thought it was worth a shot, considering how invested they seem to be in the hiring process. I took the time to do my due diligence, and I can confirm that these individuals are indeed real and affiliated with the company. They’ve been emailing me from addresses listed in the company directory, and the calls come from various corporate office numbers, so I don't think this is a scam. However, I can't help but wonder if this level of involvement is typical for a part-time job. Is it crazy for me to push for more, given how much interest they've shown?
