Holy Interview, Batman!

I just had the most terrifying interview of my life. A Technical Sales Training Manager position for a telephonics solutions company. They need someone to come in and.... create everything. EVERYTHING! They don't have QA, Training (except tribal knowledge), knowledge base, nothing. I'm a little terrified at the prospect of a blank piece of paper, but as mom said, they don't know what they don't know so anything I did would be better than what they have. Still, it's a little intimidating to think that I could go in and do something like that. I do have the potential - except that I've never done anything like that before. It's bot scary and kind of exciting, believe it or not. On the advice of mom, I drafted a quickie plan on how to do all that nonsense in generally 150 days. The dude on the phone said that he wanted everything in 90 but I just don't see that happening without massive hiring/training/recruiting from other teams already. It's weird to think that I could basically be a mini-Joanne but it's also a little stressful just to think about. We'll see - he said he had some more interviews to do and then he and his helpers would pick 5 to go to the final round showdown.
