As a manager, you may oversee a department that runs on ashoestring budget. As a lower-level staffer, you may work odd hours or get stuck with assignments that lack substance.

　　去了解自己所要面对的状况是面试者自己的事情。Palmer说，“这算是一次情况的核实。管理岗和入门岗所面临的障碍是不一样的。作为一个经理，你可能会去监管一个只依靠有限的经费运营的部门。作为初入职场的员工，你可能需要在自己的闲暇时间去完成一个没有实质内容的任务。

　　Interpreting the response: The interviewer may point out the least offensive parts of the job. But if he or she denies any downside whatsoever, that should raise doubts about his or her credibility. "Any boss that tells you there are not challenges, they're lying. It's just that simple," Palmer says.

　　解读面试官的反应：面试官有可能只指出该岗位当中最不伤大雅的部分。但是，如果他否认任何缺点，那么你就该对他的可信度有所怀疑了。Palmer 说，“当任何一个老板告诉你没什么挑战的时候，那么他们就在撒谎。就这么简单。

　　Do you have any hesitations about my qualifications?
