Career Adivce Needed! - What does my potential employeer really want?

  #1  
Jul 23rd, 2008
An old friend of my mom from her University days tells me about a job she thinks I could perform because I'm in the IT field.


Description of the Job

My mom's friend ( let's call her Sara ), Sara, is starting a new business she's has wanted to do for many years. She told me it's an administrative position. This person is responsible for putting the website "out there" on the Internet, attracting customers from my understanding. The main purpose of the website is to act as an interface between the customers and suppliers. She talked about marketing on Facebook and about using Blogs on the website. One of my roles involves carefully crafting and producing the content for the website. Sara mentioned a "sharp young mind a few times".


Now to me

I feel I am capable of fulfilling all her requirements. I know how to create and maintain a website and I will be familiarizing myself with CMS over the coming days. I've never held a job in the IT field before so I'm lacking in experience but I can teach myself quickly. Tonight I'm going to download Drupal just to familiarize myself with CMS. This is the most I believe I can do because she's going to use specialized software.

Based on the description above, what do you think my employers is really looking for?

What job title does the position fall under?

What questions should I ask her when I meet her?

What questions is she likely to ask me?


Please, if you can, recommend some books that will help me to get the job done.
