What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say "working here would suck"?

'You'll be wearing many hats': 20+ Job Interview Red Flags You Might Be Missing

A job interview is a two-way street; as much as the company is seeing if they want to work with you, you're also deciding if you want to work for them. Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved with the traditional interview process. It's a performative experience in which both parties are attempting to seem desirable, neutral, and natural — revealing just enough without giving too much away. Most of us, who have been working for an appropriate length of time, have come across…

'There was now a man sitting in the driver's seat': 13 Delivery Drivers Share Their Most Insane and Memorable Stories

Being a delivery driver is not an easy job.

In reality, delivery drivers are often tasked with excessively large volumes and clients to deliver to so there's often little margin for error or for anything to go sideways. But when your job consists of being on the move constantly driving through traffic in order to interact with completely r…

Part III: The Most Disastrous Job Interviews People Ever Had

Unluckily, I had applied to the job the day before being run down like a cane-toad on my road bike and received a call shortly afterward. Somehow, I made it through a short first-round introduction and into the second-round panel-based interview .

Part II: The Most Disastrous Job Interviews People Ever Had

Job interviews are far from the best way to find a suitable candidate for most roles. Without a doubt, candidates who communicate well vocally and exude charisma will find themselves accepted into far more roles, whether or not they were actually the best candidate.
