Interviewing 101: Top Red Flags to Look Out For
Oregon City, OR - May 30, 2023
Interviewing for a job can be a nerve-wracking experience,
but it's an essential step to take when you're looking for a job. Hiring
managers are responsible for picking the right
person for the job, and your goal is to make their job easier by presenting
yourself in the best possible light. While you're interviewing, it's essential
to remember that you're looking for the right fit for you too. Here are some
top red flags, from an expert in career
services, that you should look out for when interviewing.
Poor
Communication Skills
Poor communication skills are a definite red flag during an
interview. It may be that they're not interested in your candidacy, and you're
not a priority to them, which is a warning of what to expect if they offer you
the job.
Conflicting
Details
If during the interview process, the hiring manager provides
conflicting information about the position, it's a bad sign. It could mean that
the company is disorganized or that the hiring manager lacks communication with
the team. It's essential to ask questions and clarify the correct information
to avoid mistakes during future work.
Poorly Kept
Appointments
If the person conducting the interview repeatedly changes or
reschedules you, it may mean that they do not value your time. That's not ideal
for any long-term working relationship. Keep track of these actions and search
for other job opportunities.
Negative
Company Culture
If you observe negativity or poor company culture during the
interview process, chances are, it'll only get worse once you've been hired. An
environment where racism, ageism, or any other discriminatory conditions are
being upheld is a warning sign. Listen to your intuition and observe well
during the hiring stages.
Recently, the competition for jobs has become fierce, and
that's why we must make the most of every interview opportunity. Of course, a
red flag is not always a deal-breaker, but it's something to consider when
determining whether an opportunity is right for you. Avoiding red flags in the
interview process can save you time and energy, and
provide you with the best long-term benefits both financially and socially.
Keep searching for excellent employment
solutions and always trust your instincts during the hiring process. Good
luck!
