- At least two months - Repeated scenarios to work through and present as part of selection process - As a candidate the time commitment expectation to the process was unreasonable in terms of multiple ‘selection tasks’ and time/cost associated with travelling out to Dublin from England (twice). The business met some of the costs of travel, but not all - The senior team are not onboard with ‘emerging/new strategy’ diversifying away from being a pure value added reseller and implementing a degree of transformation consulting - I was verbally told I was offered the job in the room, then told I was unsuccessful the following day - Evidence of another senior sales resource leaving the business a few months after being appointed - ‘Aspera Solutions’: Aspera means "hardships," "difficulties," "rough places," or "adversity" in Latin, so reflective of the internal status quo, but perhaps not a name to go to market with
