A small cmopany CEO is same as a Sr. Manager in a large company.
You are the CEO in your home, therefore, you and the CEO are actually equal.
Relax, show your smarness and swaetness.
"I am so gald to am talking with the CEO! You must know the true figurs of our business, would you please tell me how good we are business wise? How many year can we run base on the current cash we have?
Do we have business with China? Are you going to send me to China as the reginal director?
Since you are the last people to interview me and you will be the decision maker, can you tell me how soon can I start?
I will always remember that it is YOU who bring me to the company...."
