Where have you been interviewing thus far and why haven't you taken those jobs? This threw me way off, and through off the vibe for the rest of the interview. I mentioned I had interviewed with straight up sales companies (like the pyramid, cold-call type companies) and those aren't a good fit for me, and he responded with, "well you know this is sales right?" I then had to defend my point of cold-call sales vs. their companies type and it just killed the vibe really. At least I know I don't belong in sales! Companies could just straight up say it's a sales position than all these fancy terms to disguise it.
