There were no set questions. The director, Dusty asked me to review my previous work experience, which I did. He then noted my Masters degree and stated that salary for this position starts at the low 40k. This was the end of our call which lasted less than 15 minutes. I am not too sure why Dusty followed up with me. He stated that his wife’s family lives around the area where I live and the drive wouldn’t be pleasant followed by “I know you invested into school but this is what the position pays”. The call was a complete waste of time.
