RED FLAGS in job interviews

🤍 No job is worth your mental health and dissatisfaction.! There are several other ways money can flow to you. It's essential to consider these warning signs carefully when evaluating job opportunities to ensure that the company aligns with your professional goals and values.

🚩Unprofessional interviews

❌The Executive Vice President was late and I had to interview the COO. I was well-prepared and wasn’t phased, however, it indicates a lack of respect for candidates’ time and disorganized approach. This signified several issues, including lack of communication within company leadership, which leads to confusion + inefficiency.

🚩Unilateral Focus on Company’s Needs:

❌When they fail to consider YOUR needs and perspectives during the interview process (and potentially employment) it’ll eventually lead to job dissatisfaction and limited engagement.

🚩Pressure to accept the offer quickly

❌Being here creates an unnecessary amount of anxiety for us as candidates. Be sure to thoroughly evaluate the role, company, and compensation package. – Beware as this tactic raises questions about the company’s intentions.

🚩Negative Gut Feelings

❌This is a vital aspect in evaluating jobs. If something feels off in the process, whether it’s the interviewer’s behavior, company communication, or overall atmosphere, it’s essential to keep them as signals. These git feelings are our subconscious response to issues that can’t immediately be transparent, but could impact your overall satisfaction.

🚩To add on… If you’re already in a position where there’s no one you’re learning from or look up to, that’s also a good sign you need to leave. If the environment is hostile, just do yourself the favor 🙏🏼
