Issue #100 (Subtle Job Interview Red Flags) 01/11/21
Believe it or not, there was a pretty cool thread on Reddit a couple of days ago that had nothing to do with politics and was pretty highly upvoted:
What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say "working here would suck"?
Some of the red flags that caught my eye:
- Playing down overtime while unofficially requiring it
- Asking what clients you can bring with you
- Interviewers who say "Lots of people are waiting in line to work here, count yourself lucky."
- Informing you that "You need to purchase your uniform from us."
- Saying "You'll be wearing many hats."
I'm sure you'll find others in there that will help if you're currently in a job search, along with some humorous ones that are hard to believe.
Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
