What did you answer?
I'd say that's a difficult question because the person could be looking for a 'magazine guy' for long term, not someone who's eventually going to move up the chain of command & potentially 'overtake' them someday. Or, maybe they don't want to hire "just another magazine guy" and want someone who is driven to do the job as best he can, in hopes of eventually moving up that same chain of command ladder.

I'll have to give some thought to what I would consider the most difficult question I've been asked lately... or ever.
