Suppose you are just before you accept a new job or even in the middle of the hiring processbut something “is wrong”, although you can not pinpoint the problem. Regardless of the type of work for which you have applied, there are ten signs that you should pay close attention to:
1. Very long interview process
The time it takes for them to respond positively or negatively after an interview it may seem like an eternity while some employers may not even bother to respond. If there is no good reason to wait, then in case the answer is delayed for weeks or even months, then it would be good to reconsider your decision.
2. You are not sure about the manager
Many times you can find out right away during the interview if you will become a necessary member of the team. If the boss does not pay much attention to your skills or shows strange signs in your communicationthen it would be good to reconsider the possible offer.
3. Uncertainty about location
If your potential future boss can not say with certainty the responsibilities which will give you such a general framework of responsibilities that it sounds like you have two or even three positions at the same time you feel it is a bit vague about important aspects of your position and its relationship with the rest of the company then maybe you should reconsider your choice.
4. Uncomfortable interview
Purpose of an interview should be the exchange of information. But if you feel like you are being asked too many questions or even questions that should not be asked during an interview, then maybe you should reconsider.
5. Many “tests”
In many cases you are required to take some tests as part of the interview. However, if these tests seem too much for you to the point where you seem to be volunteering for a company you have not even been hired for, then it’s probably time to move on.
6. Constant demand for the same job
If you constantly come across a post about the same role in the same company, then maybe that means that the company finds it difficult to keep one person for this position. In addition to job postings, however, you can get more information about the situation in a company from the head of human resources from the professional profiles of older employeesto see how long they stayed, but also why they left.
7. Compulsory overtime
It’s one more “Red flag” for the employees concerned, when the company expects you to stay longer at work every day. That could mean that you will not be able to save extra money until much later in your career or that you will not have the flexibility to achieve a good work-life balance or that the company management is poor.
8. “Burial”
If the person interviewing you “Bury” his team of employees, then you have to be careful. You can of course ask about the business climate by saying “What do you like about the work you do here?” If you see that it takes a long time to respond or that he says something insignificant (eg free snacks) then it may be a sign that you have to leave.
9. Money
If nothing draws you to the position in addition to money, then it is probably not worth trying. Sure, money is a very good reason to choose a particular job, but if nothing else excites you, then you probably will not be the best employee. In the long run this will have an impact on your rating and possibly your entire career.
10. Lack of transparency
Definitely during an interview the company representative does not have to give information about everything. But, it needs to clarify some issues. A shocking example is the deviation of the employment contract from what you were told in the interview. Or if they accept you verbally, but a written contract never comes.
