If you're a fresh graduate looking for your first full-time job, please do yourself a favour and don't ignore these interview red flags ๐ฅฒ
1. ๐ผ๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฎ
If the hiring manager frequently reschedules or arrives late to the interview, it may indicate disorganization, poor time management, or a lack of respect for your time. Consider whether you want to work with someone who is habitually late to meetings or calls for last-minute ones.
2. ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐
If your hiring manager appears jaded, burnt out, and focuses on their own dissatisfaction during the interview, it likely reflects their general attitude towards work. This could suggest potential challenges in how they would interact with you as a future employee.

Cursing and swearing during a job interview is unacceptable. It is unprofessional and demonstrates a lack of respect for both you and the company. If they exhibit this behavior during your interview, they may do so in front of other employees and stakeholders as well.
4. ๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ฉ
Did your hiring manager give you a weak handshake, avoid eye contact, or even yawn during your interview? Worse still, if they haven't reviewed your career profile and are asking irrelevant questions, it may indicate a lack of interest in finding the right candidate or a lack of professionalism within the company.
5. ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐ง ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ง๐ค๐ก๐
If your hiring manager struggles to communicate the responsibilities and expectations of the role, it could be a red flag. Understanding what success looks like in the role and how your performance will be measured is crucial. Additionally, if the company does not offer clear career advancement paths or professional development opportunities, it might not invest in your long-term growth or could indicate instability.

The length of the interview process can reveal important aspects about a company's operations and culture. If it is too short, it might indicate that the company is desperate to fill the position quickly due to a high turnover rate, suggesting potential issues such as poor management or an unhealthy work environment. Conversely, if the process is overly long and disjointed, it may point to inefficiencies within the company, affecting overall productivity and employee satisfaction, and potentially increasing the risk of being ghosted.

If your hiring manager is rude to you because you are "Gen Z," it raises significant concerns about their professionalism, respect for diversity, and ability to manage a diverse workforce. Every candidate deserves respect in an interview, regardless of age. Such behavior reflects poorly on the manager and the company. Working under such conditions could create a toxic environment, impacting your job satisfaction, mental health, and career growth.
