        Is there a way to write a job description for what you do? If there is, then there is a way to answer that question. It's a typical, even cliche, question to ask, so they should be prepared to answer it.

        Think it, be it.

              @Megatron1505 , good luck tomorrow in your job interview buddy.

              something they often ask at the end of the interview is; "do you have any questions for me / us"

              to which i always answer; "when do i start, tomorrow or monday?"  😉

              i think this is know as a presumptive close. try it ?  🙂

                        How do you feel you went? Good rappor? Do you like them? Would you like to work there/with them (sounds like it)?

                        Am guessing as there's nothing poo pooing it, you're keen. Fingers crossed!

                            Thanks man.

                            @Snowy , sorry I just saw your comment dude. Rapport was good, place is family run and going through rapid expansion, only minor negative being that I got the feeling that they didn't really know why they wanted to hire a Production Manager. Like they suddenly thought "shit we're growing….we should probably get someone in to run this thing". I ended up telling them more about what the job should involve than they told me, in a good way though.

                              Good to hear, sounds like you maybe able to craft your own role/goals if you wish to go there (on a serious note)

                                  Update guys, I didn't get the job. The feedback I got is that they chose someone with hands on experience of operating CNC machines, I could have argued that is not what they advertised for, and that it has absolutely zero benefit for the role of a Production Manager (so long as you know timings and capacity you don't need to know how to actually programme the damn things), but it would have been irrelevant.

                                  Thank you all so much for your time and advice on this, I will keep applying for other positions as a change is needed after over 17 years. This whole exercise has shown what this thread was made for  🙂

                                      You could have argued that, but it would likely have got you nowhere…

                                        Mega, sounds like a good overall experience, treat this as a practice/dry run for the right job that will come along soon.

                                          hey @Megatron1505 , i guess you are feeling a little deflated right now. i would be too. i guess this is part of processing the disappointment, which is never easy to sit with, but like clouds in the sky these feelings will pass by soon enough. dust yourself off buddy and move forward to the next challenge / opportunity.  😉
