re: ACTUAL Employment Interview Red Flags

Had an interview with someone a few weeks ago.

Some red flags:

1. Lives in town but refused to do an in-person meeting.
2. Would only do the interview after 5:00 p.m.
3. Wouldn't say why they were looking to leave their current employer except looking for a new opportunity.
4. Wouldn't say why they were interested in my employer other than it was a new opportunity.
5. When pressed, would not state what a "new opportunity" represented; we offer almost identical services as their employer, so I expected to hear something like few opportunities for advancement, getting pigeon-holed, more of challenge, etc. Crickets.
6. Despite not knowing why they were looking for a new opportunity or what that opportunity was, they needed an answer in 3 weeks.

Not an interview thing, but resume said "more than X+ years' experience" when the employment dates equaled X and a few months. Why put "more than" and "+"?

They did not receive an offer which seems was what they were angling for to take back to their current employer. If they had just made some stuff up, they'd have had a better chance of getting one. Ticked me off more that it got me home later for nothing. Just disrespectful.

Absolutely.


Driving a primer truck would be a non-starter.

Much like us, they probably thought you were desperate

I suppose that’s why he offered me a job shortly after.

Which is why I declined. You aren’t making a point

I guess much like you, maybe he was a retard
