I was told about two positions, and they explained what both jobs do, they felt I was qualified for. Then asked which one would I be interested in. I felt odd to be put on the spot to make a decision on a job, that I don't know what the pay range was, nor could do research about it. After about 5 mins of me asking questions, stalling like to make a decision, they told me I could think about it, and they would get in contact with me for my decision.
