6 Telltale Signs to Dodge Job Pitfalls in Interviews 🚧
Unraveling the Interview: Spotting Potential Job Traps 🧐
Securing an interview is undoubtedly a reason to celebrate, but it’s essential to remember that an interview is not just the company assessing you.
It’s also your chance to evaluate if the position and the organization align with your goals.
After all, the last thing you want is to discover unpleasant surprises after joining a new company.
So, what signs should you be vigilant about during an interview?
1. When HR or the hiring manager provides vague answers about the previous employee’s departure from the role.
Typically, companies have no reason to withhold such information.
If you sense a lack of transparency, the prior employee’s departure may have been involuntary or marred by peculiar circumstances.
In such cases, you should carefully consider the potential risks associated with the position.
2. Repeated questions during the interview about your willingness to work overtime and handle stress.
Questions regarding overtime and stress are subtle indications of the job’s demands and working hours.
