I applied for an international sales position. During the first interview, the interviewer told me that I am better off working in a project management roles as I have the relevant experience. I took it to mean that the company is not proceeding with my application. However, I then got a phone call from the interviewer about a week later asking me to attend a second interview. He said that he will give me an in-depth look at the company's product lines during this interview. Based on what he said, it sounds like I will be trained while I am still in the job interview process. To me, this effectively means that if I proceed, I will not be paid for training. In my view, any orientations or training should take place only after the candidate has been hired, not during the interview process. Otherwise, this feels like the company is making me go through unpaid training.
What are your thoughts?
