Red Flags in a Job Interview

You’re in an interview process and really want to work for this company. Or so you think. But the interview process has raised a few red flags. What might some of those be?

Maybe the hiring manager has had to reschedule one too many times. Has the hiring manager taken the time to even read your resume prior to your meeting? Making candidates wait and/or showing up late for interviews are old school “power plays” that are not acceptable and are outright rude in today’s day & age.

Perhaps you’re not getting clear & consistent answers to the questions you ask. Do you sense a misalignment in value systems between interviewers during the interview process?

Looking for a new job is a stressful process, and it may be tempting to doubt your intuition, but most red flags are just that.

For what it’s worth, when you work with a recruiter like myself, you gain the advantage of an extra set of eyes and ears to help you assess whether it’s really going to be a good technical and cultural fit.
