Interview Warning!

There are some job offers you might want to consider turning down...

A job interview is not just a chance for a potential employer to like you - it goes both ways. Here are a few interview red flags to watch for:


• Off-site interview. If the company has a local office but the interviewer insists on meeting you elsewhere, there's a good chance they've got something to hide about the work environment.

• The interviewer is late. Most companies treat good candidates with MORE care than actual employees. Someone who has trouble squeezing you in may also have trouble in giving you proper training and feedback once you get the job.

• Group interviews. This can be an indicator of lazy managers who don't take hiring policies seriously. It's easy to overlook quiet, efficient candidates in a group setting that often has a loudmouth or two.

• Badmouthers. An interviewer who openly complains or badmouths the company you're interviewing for, is likely to do the same to you behind your back.
