Have you ever interviewed with someone who was rude, late, extremely disorganized, or dismissive? Tell us about your interview experience?

I'd like to add a red flag that I've noticed with my own manager while conducting interviews... They do not read your resume at all ( You'll be able to tell from the questions that they as you). From my experience, this kind of manager wants to hire based on personality and will not care about the hard work that you do. They'll mostly care that you're their buddy or not, but will throw you under the bus as soon as something goes wrong. I've seen this pattern many times.

Literally all 5 signs were present during my interview for Wendy's. The general manager was late to the interview, uninterested, asked me where I live and hired me on the spot.

I was asked what my previous salary was. It is deemed illegal in my state. The interviewers then argued among each other if it was legal or not. Really awkward.

I was offered a job under an hour and received the offer the same day. One week after accepting the offer, the hiring manager decided not to hire me because of a lame excuse "Actually, we do not have this role available and we are not ready to hire." It was one of the most unprofessional experience ever! Period! They even called my current employer to terminate my work permit so it can be transferred. I ended up losing both jobs.

Yes! This is a great video! I’d also add if the interviewer tells you they will let you know by the next day and you don’t hear from them for two weeks saying you got the job, that is a red flag! Don’t fall for it. They offered the job to someone else and they already walked out. Also, a huge red flag that I’ve learned is if they introduce you to other employees in the company during the interview and you can pick up on tension between two or more of them (one trying to dominate everyone) run away! Do not take that job!

2/5 signs happened on my last interview. I was asked my age and if I had children. Also the person seemed overly enthusiastic. This vid totally validated my guy instinct. Thank you!

Most companies deserve to be sued

I look at lack of diversity. That's a red flag. One of my good friends said all the men kept getting promoted at her job. That's not coincidental.

One thought about the “eager hirer” red flag, especially for highly variable high-skill positions for young people, they can be straight up SCAMS.

Just had a schedule interview that didn't happen because of the hiring manager wasn't punctual.

I was interviewed by the “ Two headed Snake.” She was so sweet during the interview.Once I came on board her nasty side was on display. Also, her office was a pig sty.

Did an interview yesterday with the single most unprofessional jerk I have ever met. After he asked me if I had any questions, I asked him how his previous experiences helped him in his current role. His response? It's your interview, not mine. That's only the tip of the iceberg. He was so bad, I literally emailed his boss and detailed every red flag he displayed.

Yes....Was interviewed by a company owner who happened to see my veteran license plates on my vehicle. He interrogated me about my mental state and if I had PTSD. I declined any further conversation with the nut.

After the interviewer asked me if I have questions and I asked him about his background (which I found on the company website's leadership page), the interviewer tell me "it's your interview not mine" with a little smirk on his face.

Great video. Informative. Sadly, I took a position with an office after the employer called and asked me, repeatedly if I might be interested in considering them for employment. I was not qualified for the position because my work history was in financial institutions, but she reassured me that I would be a great fit. I agreed to an interview, but I should have seen the red flags. She didn't even ask me about my qualifications and how that could work in the medical environment. She didn't go into what the job entailed and the training that would occur. She walked me through her office and where I would be stationed and I remember thinking how dirty and unorganized it was. Boxes and paperwork everywhere. Dust everywhere. Bottom line, I should of seen that we are our work space. When patients would ask her questions, she seemed dismissive and disinterested. That is why I only lasted 4 days and left. I wish I would of watched this video prior to my interview.

Huge red flag: If they choose not to pay you what you're worth! I interviewed for a job which was skilled but they stated flat out during the interview was "entry level", and they would have to start me at minimum wage - oh but it would get better after 5 years or so. I found out the hard way that's a huge sign that they couldn't give two shits about you or anyone there. "We're a family here" is another creepy sign of unhealthy environments.

I was asked 3 times if I had a boyfriend

What's the average tenure? Why this current position is still vacant. Got it

I've had bad interviews where it felt like I was being judged and nitpicked my resume.

I interviewed at a daycare several years ago. It was 3 of us interviewing at the same time. The interviewer showed up 15 minutes late and didn't apologize. She asked us questions for about an hour that weren't really related to the job, then had us write an example of a lesson plan, although one person was interviewing to be a cook, and I was there to be an assistant. Then after an hour, the owner and her husband showed up (btw, the interviewer was the owners mother). The owner went on and on about how wonderful working there was. She also had this weird obsession with cleaning with bleach. I asked during the interview if I would be expected to be in a classroom by myself since legally I couldn't, and the owners husband said "why are you so worried about that?" They hired all three of us on the spot. All three of us quit in under a year and a half. It was THE WORST job I ever had. That place had an extremely high turnover rate. At least 5 people quit within my first year there.

I just want to say that I love your videos and I find them super helpful and concise!

My boss always blame me for things I didn't do and always gossip about me to the only other member of the team. I was treated extremely bad when I first started working in the office. I've been looking for a new job, and am ready to start working for a new company that treats its employees well.

You're so friendly and helpful. Thanks for this!

Loved how you broke this down you have a new follower thank you

Superb presentation! Thank you very much.

Wow! Thank you for your wonderful tips ma’am

Turned down a job that was offered to me last week. They really wanted me, but said that they have a hard time filling and maintaining employees for this position and was told that “a timid person is not right for this job...” major red flags. No thanks.

Did you cover group interviews? I've heard a career coach from get employed actually advise against them! For a few reasons-not only are they stressful,demeaning cattle calls, they usually don't result in getting hired and violate privacy(any interview skills/knowledge you have is displayed for competitors) and are a sign the company isn't even aware of what they're looking for. Just received an invite for one of these and declined happily.

Hey girl! i love your channel concept. its great! keep up the great work! i will def be recommending your channel to anyone who is job hunting. Good luck!

Yes, are you planning on having children? I smiled because I'm over fifty and I don't look my age.😀

OH MY! Wish I knew all of this when I was hied for my current job as every single red flag was present. But lessons are learned and I guess I now have the knowledge to not repeat that mistake. Thanks for the video. Great content.

Okay I had a strange interview about 5 years ago when the owner would ask me about why I needed my employee tax paperwork so bad. I was like I need to file taxes and he got angry with me. I waited for 2 weeks and he still was procrastinating so I finally told him I quit.

God Love You! Great video. Please keep them coming.

The very first question my interviewer asked me recently was "Are you married?" which was kind of odd considering it was the first thing they wanted to know...

I wish I listened to the 'hire you on the spot', it turned out to be a nightmare.

What about a micromanaging boss or team lead??

Well, i was asked yesterday how i displayed excellent customer service skills....My answer drained their colour away, i knew i blew it then lol

I was watching a lot of your videos and was wondering if you could do a video on the most professional ways to tell a company your not interested in the job while still remaining vague after a horrible interviewer introduction, but they still desire to extend you a job with their company.

Oh my gosh, #4 and #5 was VERY true. I did answer a few questions though about my qualifications, but it was a few. Not a lot. The rest wasn't the case

One thousand percent on all of this!! I admit that, despite my better judgment, I reluctantly accepted an offer from what I saw to be a toxic company only because I needed income in the immediate. Luckily I kept looking & found an employer with a MUCH healthier environment & Leadership with a moral compass. Needless to say, I ran from that place so fast I swear I left a cartoon me-shaped hole in the wall!

I was recently interviewed my two men, the first one was a manager of a month which was very friendly and got me the second interview right after the first with his boss. However, the second boss was pretty friendly at first, then seemed kind of unenthusiastic. The first interview was more of a conversation, but the second was just me answering behavorial questions and him writing it down. I did get a tour in the 2nd and more information about what I would do working there, but I have a feeling the boss did not like me :(

"Hang on, can we start over?"

I was asked personal questions about my hobbies music preference etc. the day after I got offered the job and they were very pushy with me starting so I couldn't give my job a 2 week notice. I got fired 2 days later cause i couldn't catch on quick enough

These signs are 100% on the nose!

Thank you for this video! I was once asked if my dad was rich?

"Do you have children?".. Been asked that, then told "We are looking for someone with no children or outside obligations...things that might take away from availability for the position"....um, this was for a receptionist position for a medical group years ago...translation: We are looking for someone who has NO life or someone who will drop everything in their life to be available to cover 2 or three positions here in our practice for the price of one...expect to never get out of here before 7:00 or 9:00 pm and expect to be pulled off tasks to cover other tasks we put on you last minute only to be treated poorly for not managing to get ALL tasks for all positions done with in the 8 hr period we alot you that will actually be 10+ hours when you'll stay because you'll know we expect you to without even asking because we will simply act like you should and act nonchalantly as if it's still work time even as 5:30 rolls around just waiting to see if you'll have the guts to bring up it's time for you to leave. We like putting good workers in that awkward position.....then also we will be fully aware even 10 hrs isn't actually enough time either, but we will make sure to make it a point to put lots of pressure on you about overtime and how we dislike it just to keep that fire under your ass, while placing more and more responsibility on you at the same pay as the one position we discussed at the interview when we hired you....and see children might get in the way of all that so...thanks for taking your time and putting in the effort, but no thanks because you had kids even though you are incredibly well qualified😊...NEXT!👀...🙄😒. Well, just my past experiences as to what those kind of comments translate too because I've unfortunately had the experience of being offered positions at these places and accepted and this was the result. Sad but true....and no I'm not a new graduate or uneducated with no experience. I have experience in much more advanced positions than medical secretary or basic office help and I've worked a several different feilds at different skill, education and experience levels and really the one thing I find to be in common with all set ups where you are working for someone else is that all employers want more for less than what any good quality worker is worth and since their are always going to be people who don't understand that yet who are much more appealing to employers, even when the most qualified person is willing to take the job anyway. The employer will chose the candidate most likely to be exploited for less pay if they feel they can be trained successfully.

I was once asked if I would be willing to bark like a dog. It was a telemarketing job and they wanted to know how badly I want the position. I told them I will not bark like a dog and got a bit irrate with them. I left that office mid-interview and ignored their calls.

You're Beautiful and thank you for this video. 🗽💐💛🐎🗝

LOL arriving 15 minutes early gurlll what I see when I am interviewing people

Hi thanx for your great advices. Just could you please tell a little more about what means "getting warm body at the position". Because right now I am interviewing with a start-up company who seem very eager to hire me, despite in my opinion I missed to answer some of their questions in best way. This makes me worried if I am about to be hired by a company that is a good fit to me.

Wow! Just had an interview this week for a job. Got hired on the spot along with two others. Now, I am thinking hard about this especially since it was posted on Craigslist.

I just had #5 happened to me. I just literally applied today and they called me 2 hours before and ask me if I could be at their open interview. They completely overlooked the fact that I have an advance degree. Another thing I noticed was they didn't give a detailed job description and rather gave an average salary to make the job look more appealing to the average job seeker. They never awnsered my email questions and my rule of thumb is if I see 3-4 negative reviews on the company they're not good.

I’ve been asked if I was ever planning to loose weight. It was a interview for a concierge service to a dealership

Sadly so many jobs meet these red flag signs. I had got tricked into hire on the spot job because I was getting laid off due to relocation but thought raise and way less commute was worth it. Turn out nightmare was looking for new job during Christmas week. Honestly after my new job done with looking. Ready to work for myself.

One employer asked me this question which I found peculiar...it goes something like “has any manager given you a bad feedback that was not constructive, where you found personal but not true, how would you respond or how would you react to it?” Even though I explained a few times, it never happened in my past since all my managers were professional and gave great feedback. She wasn’t happy, she kept asking “like never? Anything you recall?” In the end I said “well maybe they did but I either never noticed or they said it tactfully.”

I haven't been asked specifically uncomfortable questions in an interview, but one interviewer kept trying to find out if I was single & kept staring at the "girls" despite the fact I was wearing a business suit & the top was NOT low cut. I stood up, told him I didn't want to waste anymore of his time b/c I knew we weren't a fit, & that me & my breasts would not be taking the job. He turned red & I walked out. That was definitely a red flag, lol!!

Number 0: The interviewer never shows up for an hour. Alternatively, your interviewer never introduces themselves.

Great video!!❤️... during an interview the employer asked me outta nowhere if I was Jewish. Because I “looked” it. I felt SO uncomfortable. I said yes I am, why? She said, oh good, I love to have diversity on the team and I love the Jews. I was like......????

I got a new job 3 weeks ago. It was a traumatizing experience. Manager made me rush thru my computer training that teaches me how to use the software. Day 3, he’s throwing me to the wolves; I’m answering phone calls and helping customers not having an idea of what to do or say. This mgr would constantly show up 3-4 hours late, sometimes not at all. I’d have to keep calling him asking for help and he’d always answer the phone like I’m inconveniencing him/he can’t be bothered with me/he’s irritated with me. One day I had a line of guests complaining that they all had been charged twice, I didn’t know what to do or how to solve the problem. I called my mgr for help and he blamed another coworker. It was so stressful I started drinking again 😂 It’s like my manager hired a receptionist (me) to take his place or something bc he don’t wanna be there

I'm working with a bad employer now. Don't get me wrong they mean well, but yeeeah it's time to go for me.

I once had an interview with HP company and a manager were just typing on his computer the 10min which the interview last. On different occasions they asked me about me religion, and because i was in need of the job and I knew my religion was a minority, i said my religion was the one they wanted to hear, so after receiving such “comforting” answer they started off by saying Bs about minority religions.

Great questions…….. unfortunately 99% of employers lie about back filling the previous role.

I was asked if I was married or had children. It was awkward.

Lol! I had a lead supervisor breaking my headset while i was at lunch. After years of struggling, I caught her red handed. The manager at my job has no management experience. She worked 1 job her whole life and it was under 5 years. During the pandemic her pretty boy assistant manager laughed at me when i told her the work load was too high and its causing software crashes.

OMG! My last boss had all all these warning signs! She showed up almost 30 minutes late for my interview, her cabinet and sample room was disorganized, she asked me if I had kids and was married and she also asked me where I lived. I learned once I was there, the turnover rate was extremely high. On my 2nd day there, one girl was fired and she was only working there for only a couple of months. (she sent the girl to the other room and told us other employees that she was going to fire her before she told the girl). She called in another girl to replace the 1st girl that same day. She only lasted 2 months and ended up quitting in the middle of the day. About 2 months later, the 3rd girl that worked in the office and started to months before me ended up quitting in the middle of the day (she only lasted 4 months total). The 4th girl that she hired to replace the 3rd girl, noticed the fuckery with the owner and office and ended up quitting after only a week. She ended up firing me after working for her 6.5 months for being rude (Yes, I know. Ironic). I can't wait until her business fails. I will be definitely celebrating her failure.

For me I'm torn because my boss was nice but at the same time every month I had to ask for my wages. usually people get their pay after midnight but I had to wait till midday the next day. Then I got let go and ghosted completely, they never responded to any of my messages and I messaged on multiple places but nothing

my first interview after the pandemic was a place that asked illegal questions like 6 of them lol🤣🤣

I’m currently interviewing and I noticed some red flags from the first interview. First, they mentioned that they were supposed to have someone in the position months ago, but couldn’t find anyone they wanted to hire so they redid the interview process with new candidates. Second, they followed up with me after the first interview and invited me for a second interview- but wouldn’t give me directions to the location UNTIL it was “closer” to the interview day. A day before the second interview, I still hadn’t received directions, so I reached out- they apologized, said they were busy with finals week, and sent the directions. I get to the location to have my interview, and the supervisor isn’t there because of a “family emergency” so I had to interview with everyone else but him until he came back. The supervisor reached out weeks later to interview with him and his supervisor. We scheduled the date, I show up- and the supervisor is not there AGAIN, so I had to interview with a new person without him. Then he reached out to me a couple of days later and said he had another “family emergency” and would like to still meet with me. I hesitated at first, then I responded and agreed to meet. However I haven’t received a confirmation. I feel it in my soul that they already have someone who they’re planning to hire. But the inconsistencies with this company was horrible.

I have just left from an interview where the interviewer has asked me: If have I got any children? And she has started to tell me my curriculum is a crap and she want to have more things and then, what is the problem that I put in a curriculum my experience and my formation which is specific for that job? I do not think is necessary to tell all your job story, and all my life I supposed I need to put a curriculum things which are necessary for that job, I AM ANGRY TO BE HONEST!

I had an interview today where she was late by 15 minutes. She arrived from a job with 2 employees 45 minutes after their day is supposed to be done. A newish employee waiting for her ride home mentioned that only 2/6 staff hired when she started are still there. There was literally zero interviewing when the boss arrived. I said about 3 words. She said she'd call us to tell us which day next week we'll start. (I didnt even agree to the job). When she calls I'll have to refuse.

I was asked what my marital status was which I found odd as it's a job at an office job.

Good information. But what happens if a person is interviewed by a Search Committee made up of 6 people?

Well i have been asked most recently by the director of operation how old i am, i had to tell him. Also during the interview we were 2 candidate, first person that was interviewed was with the hiring manager and the HR, then during my turn, the HR introduced me to the Director that he will be interviewing me, and she had to run to her desk as she got some work that needs immediate attention. Is that a good sign? Curious

I know this video is over a year old but have to share a recent red flag. I earned my masters in addictions counseling last year and passed the state certification in October. I am getting tons of interviews but one place sent bad vibes. First apparently they didn't receive my resume so instead of asking questions they started asking me textbook questions that anyone taking a basic drug class would know. After that I was then offered a job on the spot. Didn't tell me anything about it, just offered it and told me I needed to tell them by Friday (ths was Wednesday). I kept getting pressured to take the job on the spot. So I took it and things came out, such as I would have to work overnights on weekends, and require driving patients to appointments. I should mention that while in school this place was known as a rough place that paid lower than other places and more entry level, so the idea of them hiring me for a more management job was weird. Then they wanted me to start the following week and when I told them I had other obligations was told that I needed to put them first. While looking at reviews it said they have a huge turnover. IEven though I need a job and the pay was good it had bad vibes so I turned it down.

Sign number 4 is sign number 1 for me.

money will come how do expect me to pay rent,gas keep working , i left more two opportunities to apply for now feel stuck in debt how do i get out oplease help

Gosh my most recent job, which I left due to extreme toxicity and questionable practices, was at a so-called family-run business. The place was rife with nepotism! Incidentally the owner-manager belonged to the same ethnicity as me, which I didn't think much of at first, because the team seemed diverse enough at first. Gradually the owner-manager harassed, mistreated, and abused all the competent local workers and replaced all of them with workers who are new immigrants of his own (our) ethnicity, so they'd be easier to exploit and that too on bare minimum wages! Each day was a torture, working for that narcissist. He'd throw us under the bus for his own faults, gaslight us, yell at us using choice words, fly off the handle at the tiniest thing and make us cry, etc. Ultimately I had no option but to quit. And oh, him, his wife, and toddler (with her noisy toys) would be hanging out in the office area regularly, and it seemed more like a noisy daycare or restaurant than an office. Extremely distracting and impossible to work amongst all that. Glad I left that hell-hole.

Uncomfortable question that I got: If you are planning to get married and if that will make you relocate?

Is there on the job training available? 🔭📚

I interviewed on the tues. The man who arranged my interview and had been talking w on email opened the door for me, said 'you can sit here it's not time yet' (I was 8 mins early). Don't think he even said hello I was told 1 Oct is start date in interview, lasted 30 mins That night I get offer from CEO at 00.15am, now with start date 21 Sept. Salary offer is 400 less than advertised. And he's pushing pushing pushing me to start asap and doesn't care that I work a demanding night job that requires 30 days notice. I'm tempted by the opportunity but it feels so weird. And I'm a foreigner so it's tougher for me. I start training tomorrow but feel I've been pushed around. I might not sign a contract and just leave it

I had a supervisor tell me that they can't get anyone to cone to work . He went on to say they ( ppl who worked for the company ) apparently found a way to live for free.

I had a interview scheduled last week & 1 hour prior to the interview I received a phone call from recruitment to tell me the interviewer had a ‘emergency’ and would have to reschedule which I found a big red flag as their was three managers name on the interview. I have a new interview with them today but my gut told me don’t waste your time plus their reviews high turn overs.

1. They miss the phone interview. My husband had one set up with a manager and the guy NEVER called him. In the previous "set up" interview, the guy kept interrupting my husband, really didn't have an idea what experience my husband had, and put my husband on hold several times.Yes-- 2 red flags. The third with that place was that they were reluctant to pay even fair wages despite experience. For me, well, here's one. I was called to set up an interview. I was very honest upfront and said, "your ad said 8 am till 4. I have a child and cannot work before those hours and not long after. Are you sure these will be the steady hours? " The woman assured me that's fine M-F it was those hours. Well, I go in for the interview and they start saying on Wed you have to open the school at 6 am but you will get home early that day! I walked out. I said you lied to me. I was honest with you and you lied and wasted my time. Later on that school had one administrator arrested on dubious charges. The reputation of the place tanked. Karma. Dodged a bad one.

They made me wait for about 15 mins and they called me in later and i was interviewed by 7 persons asking me questions instead of one .

How would you respond to a interviewer asking an illegal question? Like if they ask my age or if I am or plan to be pregnant

I was asked do I have any issues working with LGBT. That was very odd to ask. Of a specific because this organization is specified towards that community but why ask this question?

Was once asked if I have children, years ago when I had only my son. Told her yes and was told they don't want to hire someone with children. 🤨WT#! Offered a job yesterday and then again today WITHOUT being interviewed. called or met in person at all. This company's owner saw my resume after I applied through indeed and texts me a job offer where the position calls for 7 days a week, 10:00 pm to 6:00 am, 500.00 every 2 wks and if I start I have to start immediately, like they wanted somebody (me or whoever else will take it I guess??🤔??)to start yesterday night, well, um..let's see, never met you, not enough $$ for those kinds of hrs and that kind of shift, and it says right on my resume I am currently working another job, where I make more $$ per hr, obviously, gees, and get paid weekly, but the issue is it's less hours so looking for a job with more hours, but um, not 56 hrs a week, working all 7 days at that low of pay, seriously?....and lastly, how can I start the very same day you just toss me a text with the business location, which I know is legit because it's a national chain, and schedul demands when I would need to at least give my current company notice of some sort, I mean at least a day. If this current company was awful to me and the pay and the hours for the new one where just what I was looking for it would be different, but neither one of those is the case. The person sent me another text and it's clear they are desperate for peo peo people, like you say...it feels like they just want a body and with those scheduling demands and that pay I imagine it's hard to keep people, but I really wonder what is going on with some employers these days. I have also encountered a few interviewers who come off rude or yes, ones that let you sit there forever. I just walk out on the ones who have you sitting there forever. I just leave. They won't treat you well once employed with them either.

I am just wondering...i got today the interview invitation. The email was short, not even saying thank you for the interest in the position. There was just a request to confirm my availability for a technical interview. I responded, confirming the availability and asked if it is gonna be onsite and if i need to prepare a presentation for it. As the answer i just got an email with the link for zoom meeting and no text that answers my other questions. Feels weird. Does it seem as the red flags for you?

Recently had an interviewer who was 5 minutes late for an online interview. When she finally came online she was standing over the computer with her coat on. She apologized for being late but kept her coat on for the entire interview. She was not prepared or interested.

Does asking illegal questions still happen? Didn't think that still happened.

Years ago, before I was married, an attorney I interviewed with asked me if I had a boyfriend!😱😮🤣

Here's one. I worked in a union our employer had a team of lawyers that were paid hundreds of thousands if not millions to exploit every loophole in the contract. They wanted us to waive turn around and meal penalties. Never let your employer get you to waive or give up anything. Always make them pay. Never ever work off the clock and never try to save your employer money. If you're in charge of a project always go over budget.

Not me but an old college professor of mine said he was asked if he was gay (he wasn't) in an interview. He turned the job down.

One asked me if I wanted children and as soon as he asked me. They offerred me the job but I declined.

I keep seeing if the Interviewer is late that is a "red flag". Not so sure about this. Life happens - unless it is a dedicated HR person, most managers are working interviews into their work schedule. If a client meeting runs over or there is a family emergency for someone at work, would not be a reason to dismiss a potentially good employer or position.

This has happened A LOT: I was asked if I had plans on having a baby "in the next year(s)"..

I just got pass on a job because the interviewer asked me my age

I was asked during an interview if I am gay 🤦🏻‍♂️❌🚫 Yes. I. AM. GAY. 🏳️‍🌈

FYI turnover is HUGE.
