Columnist Interview Question:

Explain me would you be open to doing X as part of your job?

Submitted by: Muhammad

I was once asked if I would be OK with writing the Table of Contents even though it had been years since the page was part of my job description. But I said yes, and got the job, and actually didn't mind doing it until it was eventually taken off my plate a year or so later. Bottom line: Just say yes. Job descriptions are what you make of them once you get your foot in the door-until then, just prove that you're someone who is willing to roll up your sleeves and get the job done.
