They briefly introduced the company’s policies and began asking questions related to my résumé to learn more about me as an interviewee. However, the boss did not come that day, and it seemed that many decisions had to be made by the boss. I originally interviewed for an R&D position, and the interviewer was the sales manager. Afterward, he told me to come back for an in-person discussion once the boss returned. A week later, I received a call asking whether I would be willing to work in sales. They said they felt my qualifications were well suited to sales and that there was currently no urgent need for an R&D position. They gave me a week to think it over and said they would contact me to see whether I was interested. A week later, I did not receive any call or notification. When I contacted them proactively afterward, they told me that they had hoped I would contact them on my own because the nature of sales work requires initiative. At that point, I found it very strange: they had said they would contact me, but now they were turning around and saying that I had to take the initiative. If I joined the company, would they treat me this way in the future as well? Also, when they told me that there was no urgent need for an R&D position, their R&D job posting on 104 had been closed. After rejecting me, they reopened it, so I feel there is a fairly high likelihood that they posted an R&D position but were actually looking to hire someone for sales.
