OK, help me out with this:
In about a week or so, I have a second interview. I can't get into what the job exactly is but the first interview was with the big boss. It was very short but he left it with a "well, you convinced me. I need you to meet with my team." So now I'm meeting with three guys whom, if I got the position, I'd be working with/for.
The thing is, there is not an actual position and the work I am proposing is something they've never done. So aside from meeting with 3 guys and convincing them that I'd be a good fit for their company, I have to convince them that there's value in what I'm offering.
I am working on a Power Point presentation with video and pictures, etc. I am trying to keep it relatively short (10-15 minutes.)
I am not sure I have a specific question, it is just a much more corporate setting than I am used to. Still, if I were to get the job, it would be a dream gig. Has anyone ever been in a situation where you are applying for a position that doesn't exist? Any tricks? Advice?
Side question: let's say things go great and they ask how much I am expecting. Since this is effectively a made up position and a concept that is relatively uncharted, I have no idea what to say. I know the strategy is not to be the first person to name a price, but if I have to, I am not sure how to come up with that figure.

Surely there is some comparable position. And if it's corporate they are going to have you somewhat pegged anyway, unless you are the absolute shiz. They should offer a number, you say you were thinking 20 percent more, and you settle for something in between. If your idea is so great that they wouldn't want their competitor to have you, then they will bite on the bigger number. Do you really have no idea?

Looking for entry level position in a business related field, not too picky just want to get experience under the belt and begin working from the ground up.
May 2011 Maryland graduate with a BA in economics. Any leads or ideas of where/what to pursue or look would be very helpful. Worth a try..

I know there are some engineering gurus on here. I'm looking for a summer position in an engineering related field, preferably ChemE, but any technical position would be good. Anybody got any connections, or know of anyone hiring?
