Had a Teams group chat with a manager and two other prospective volunteers.
The candidates did not really say much of anything as it was more of an informational meeting and not so much an interview. The manager was talking extremely quickly, to the point where it was difficult to follow what they were saying. They went over the software that would be used for the project and spoke about the organization a little bit. The manager was nice.
I ended up deciding not to pursue this opportunity for a couple of reasons. The job ad said that the role would require two hours of work a month for two months. The manager then said in this meeting that the role would be two hours of work a WEEK for two months – adding up to four times the amount of work originally listed! Also, the way that the role was explained – the slapshot way this was done and how quickly the manager was talking…made me feel I would not be given clear training and support for this role – that the presentation materials and any questions would have the same frantic quality for how they were delivered/answered, as the way the manager was talking in this meeting.
Something else that sticks in my craw: The manager did not specify when setting up this meeting…that it was an actual informational meeting – they didn't say how many people would be in it (I thought it was going to possibly be 1-on-1) or what would be specifically discussed or whether being on camera was optional or not (why did we have to be on camera if the meeting was just informational?). Again, bad and unreliable communication – seemed like there was very little concern on the manager's part for making sure they were doing a good job by the candidates and seeking to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.
