There's a job I've applied for. The boss of where I used to work sent me the link to apply for it and said "of course, you can always contact me or X if you have any further questions." X being the direct supervisor of the position.
X was away until Monday, which was the deadline for application. Boss is notoriously difficult to get hold of, and frankly he'd answered a load of questions the last time I spoke to him. Therefore, I have already applied.
Boss told X I was going to call him. But....I have no idea what to ask that doesn't sound idiotic. I know what the position is, why the previous person is leaving, the people in the team, what the planned projects are (and isn't this more an interview question rather than a pre-application question). The only thing that bothers me right now is how much travel is involved, but as they know I have kids this might make me look unprofessional. X is finally out of a meeting, so I could call now. But I've already applied which makes any questions redundant. There is a prat outside my window mowing the football pitch with a massive noisy tractor thing and right now is the only time I don't have the DC this week.
What do I do?
Call? Say what?
