WARNING 8 Signs Your Job Interview is ScamJob interviews arent just a time for you to sit in the hot seat and be judged. Theyre also an opportunity for you to vet the potential employerto determine whether this company would be a good fit for you, and to make koranvers there arent any giant flapping red flags that should be telling you to run for the hills. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(div-gpt-ad-1467144145037-0) ) If youre ever in an iffy situation in an interview and cant quite tell whether your gut reaction is the right one, here are a few warning signs that this job might not be the one for you.1. The vibe is not so great.Everyone looks miserable. Its quiet, but it doesnt look like thats because everyone is concentrating so hard on their work. It just seems frosty and weird. If youre a friendly collaborator by nature, this might not be the place for you. Things might be extra bad if youre introduced to a few potential future coworkers and they dont seem in any way enthused. If they cant fake it to impress a potential new team member, theyre certainly not into the place.2. Its all over way too soon.Interviews dont have to be long and grueling, but they also shouldnt be too short. If you feel like youre being asked a handful of questions with very low stakes and you get offered the job in a hot second, take a step back and make sure this isnt because theyre desperateor incompetent. Are they overselling? Whats the catch?? Dont just snap it up because youre flattered or relieved to get an offer in the first place3. You find out theres a high turnover rate.Constant and consistent departure of employees might be another reason for a particularly hasty offer. If theres a way to find out from current or former employees what the turnover rate seems to be and why it might be particularly high, that would be useful information. If that question seems to forward, simply asking some current employees how long theyve been there might help. If everyon e youve spoken to has only been with the company a short time, activate your spidey sense.4. Everything is done super secretively.You seem to be getting shuffled through the process on the DL. The interview doesnt take place at their office location. Youve not honigwein the person holding the position youre meant to replace. You dont know why the position is open. You dont get to meet anyone else on your team. Think about these things before accepting an offer, lest you show up for work on Monday morning and the entire team hates you for stealing their pals job seemingly overnight.5. Youre ghosted.You interviewed, you followed up, and the line went proverbially dead. Or, theyre making you wait an inordinately long time before letting you know when you might expect next steps or decisions to happen. Leaving a candidate hanging is disrespectful and unprofessionalboth bad signs right out of the gate.6. They ask you for money.Run. Just run.7. Everyone uses robot-like corporate-speak all the time.Too many buzzwords or fancy jargon might be a big ruse to make the company or team sound successful and inspiring, when the reality could be anything but. If they seem like theyre trying really hard to impress you but theres not much substance underneath, try to do a bit more sniffing around.8. Theres no indication of company growth.If the interviewer cant give you a clear picture of career growth opportunities or provide you with a clear account of what your role would beboth immediately and in futurethen watch out. Not having a clear sense of how you would develop your career there isnt a particularly good sign at this stageand it doesnt bode very well for later stages either.
