I guess the only one I can think of, and it caught me kinda off guard, was when he asked what salary I expected. Well since I was currently employed and ESP was the one who sought me out for employment, I knew about what the normal salary range was at the time for that specific position and I added another $10,000 on top of it because I didn't really need another job and expected him to at least say, well, let that be a target figure and then tell me a lower amount. That didn't happen and he immediately said, OK, when can you start! I was kinda speachless for a few moments and had to gather my thoughts because that was completely un-expected. Jim Hoffman was and still is, one of the most honest and someone I will always respect.

Third interview my Resume was picked apart and questioned. It was somewhat insulting. The idea as I said above was to see how I handled difficult situations. It kind of was a warning sign for what I might run in to while on the job.
