I had an interviewer invite me to his office only to have to sit and WAIT for 10 minutes in front of his desk while he finished his e-mail. WTF? Dodged a bullet; if he didn't value my time in an interview, how is he going to show ANY respect for my time in the future? I didn't get the job. :)
Take note of the amount of people interviewing you. 99.9% of the time it should just be you and the boss; things may be different for more advanced roles. If you're interviewing with your boss, his/her boss AND their boss, you're going to be like Peter from Office Space and have eight different bosses. If your interviewer is straight up rude and disrespectful to you, have some self-respect and leave. They may try to gaslight you and say it's a stress test (because my stress levels were never tested at previous jobs), but that's more reasons to run. When you arrive for your interview, note the parking lot and interior. What kind of cars are there? If most of them look like crap and the nicer ones are at reserved management spots, that's a sign you will be underpaid unless you're "one of the boys". If the lawn looks unkempt, the bathrooms are nasty and everything looks depressing inside, would you really want to work there?
Major RED FLAG..🛑...GROUP INTERVIEWS..where u compete with other candidates as a group in front of each other ...RUNNNNNN..trust me...panel interviews are different u have a group of ppl that work for the company..but if any company wants u to compete with another candidate..that's a NOOOOO...I'm a HR professional...trust me companies that do this style of interviews are terrible and have no respect for u or ur privacy..how they treat u during the interview process will be how they treat u if hired..u deserve respect and u need to know ur worth

Yeah, there's a fine line between doing a good job on presenting and handing the company a freebie. If they give you a specific topic and it's something the company could make use of, be careful.
I just had a phone interview and the hiring manager kept specifying that her managing style is “not micromanaging”. She seemed nice over the phone but I’ve had too many micromanaging experiences and think this is a red flag? 🥴
I find the upfront and willing to say something like that is a guilt placed in the back of their mind to why the last person left and I wouldn’t accept it either.
If a person has to come out and assure you that they're not something, 9/10 they are the exact thing. Firing off from the hip like that is a way to get you to feel some type of guilt. And to answer your, 10/10 she's a micromanager.
SO glad I turned down an opportunity when Verizon asked me to do a mini presentation on a live issue and after they completely blew off the first interview!
Great video! I recently had a series of interviews for a sales position for a “big company” and I swear in 3 supposed interviews I was maybe asked 2 questions. Our first interview the manager never even called me, and then directed me to get on a zoom call the following day for a presentation. Last interview the district manager asked me what excited me about the position, and then followed up with what questions do I have. That’s it. And I was offered a job?! I was excited about the role but how easy it was to secure the position makes me very very skeptical.
Great video! I had an interview a few years ago and the hiring manager was speaking negatively of her team. I could remember thinking: "Wait a minute. If I did that with her regarding my current manager and co-workers, I would be immediately eliminated from consideration! Why does she feel she can do this with me." I felt uncomfortable and politely declined her offer. It was hard, because I really liked the job, but I never regretted doing so. My rule of thumb is: if the hiring manager does something they would disqualify me for doing, I will disqualify them. As you said in the video, interviewing goes both ways!👍
I had an interview today for Accountant Role. I received an email about rescheduling, I gave them my availability for another day and the lady told me she will contact. I received a call thinking it was her and it was someone else asking me to consider an admin role. They said someone gave their two weeks notice today and they need the that role filled immediately and not the position as an Accountant. I told her no.🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
When I worked for KPMG, a recruiter/HR specialist was invited to speak to the admin staff. She enumerated the red flags to watch for. The following day my manager sent out an e-mail instructing us to ignore all of the recruiter's advice. With a month the firm had been downsized and went from being a great place to work to being a nightmare, almost overnight. And my manager was laid off. The advice given here doesn't take sudden major budget cuts into account, nor does it address the blatant inequities and bone stupid bureaucracies in public sector hiring. I would go so far as to say that, in an employer's market, ALL jobs are bad jobs. People have to eat and keep a roof over their heads.
I find that the interviewer offering the job on the spot is a huge red flag.. it shows that they have a high turnover rate and will hire anybody!!! its so unprofessional to me.. Just dealt with this and I told them "I have another interview" and he tried to pressure me into going with them
As someone who has done "presentations" in the past for a prospective employer, I 100% agree that it's a sign to run for the hills. Yes, startups are NOTORIOUS for this type of tactic and there is zero guarantee that you'll get the job. BUT! They just got a free idea from you hidden under the guise of "Seeing how you think". 1.)Because it's a sign that the organization cannot and will not make a decision on anything. 2.)They are looking for the PERFECT strategy/person, which ties back to number 1. 3.)The organization is likely to go under or get acquired by another competitor. I've learned to ask "How long have you been trying to figure this marketing strategy out? or How long have you been searching to fill this role?". If it's been more than a month; decline. If it's been MONTHS/YEARS; dodge like the Matrix.
I held my first job interview recently. I got a couple hours warning with a cv and my colleague was supposed to lead the conversation. When the guy we were interviewing logged on, my colleague said she would be 15 min late and told me to start without her. I almost panicked since I had no idea about how the process had been up till that point, I was just supposed to get an impression of him as a person. Once she did join she talked constantly about what the company wanted. I could barely get a question in about what his expectations were. I felt so bad for this guy who tried his best to make a good impression. I wouldn't have blamed him for declining the offer.
This is generally good advice, but at the same time there will always be a measure of uncertainty and discomfort when making a job selection. How many times have you been on the perfect interview and the company was not be what you were expecting once you were hired? Conversely, maybe the job interview wasn't that great, but the company was far better than you expected. And the same problem occurs when you talk to employees. Each person is going to have their own opinion. Some will say it's a great company to work for & others will say that it's not so great. Seems like everybody's trying to hedge their bets and wander into an ideal situation with the ideal company. Trust your gut I say.
This is good I recently got a job interview 2 weeks ago and the interviewer was late didn't give me an explanation and got the experience of the position and I didn't got the job make sense plus I shouldn't have been honest about why I left my previous job
Rambling Recruiter: When one is interviewing for an administrative assistant or paralegal position--especially with a corporate law firm-grilling is THE NORM. Endless overtime is the norm. Weekend work is the norm. Also true for hospital human resources. It's universal, take it or leave it. In re the first red flag--it's de rigeur in corporate law. Shareholders in these firms scream at their admins in public all the time. And these shareholders don't even know how to check their own voice mail.
I got a job offer where they changed my rate of pay significantly. Needless to say I was escorted out by security. They received my wrath for trying to bait and switch me.
Well good to have principles, bad to get escorted off the premises. The world of work is a small world and people tend to cross paths more than once. Don't burn bridges.
I had a company fly me in and do the same thing. They also hade me wait in lobby for 20min. They only reason I stayed was to get the reimbursement check for my flight and rental car.

Thanks.
At a job interview, I was taking notes, the person yelled at me. I stopped, I didn’t take the job.
That was a good call
I would love to know what company/position this was!
@CeCe B: What exactly did the person say?
I listened to the audio book the First 90 Days. What that person did was a set up to fail strategy. Red flag 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

True. When interviewing people are supposed to be on their best behavior. Imagine how it would be when they’re at their worst.

Interviews should be a business meeting. I have a lengthy list if companies I would not want to work for. Good video.

I had second interview and now don’t want the job should I email and say thanks but I’m ruling myself out or wait untill offer / rejection first ?
If you know for sure you wouldn't accept the job if offered, then yes, politely say thanks but no thanks to them.
