Publish Not your original work? Add source The US unemployment rate went up to 3.7% in August, a bump that surprised economists who had expected it to remain at July's 3.5%. One of the main reasons for this increase was the fact that more people were actively looking for work-labor force participation rose three-tenths of a percentage point to 62.4%. While the figure is still a full percentage point lower than it was before the pandemic in February 2020, it could be the first glimmer of hope that there might be some relief ahead when it comes to the tight supply of workers. However, when they're in such high demand, people shouldn't sign on the dotted line before exploring all of their options. To help everyone do this, we thought it would be useful to find a way to narrow the selection. And there's a Reddit thread that might do the trick. Created by user CurrentlyCurious, there's a post that asked, "What's a red flag when looking for a job?" The 12.9K comments it has received so far have plenty of suggestions! This post may include affiliate links. #1 “You’ll wear different hats in this role.”
First of all, this is a stupid phrase.

Go into the interview with actual questions. (See some below) if the interview/s can't or won't answer them, thank them for their time and leave.
Sample questions:
What is the turnover rate?
How do pay increases work?
Are promotions internal? And are they based on performance or seniority?
How long have you worked here?
Do you offer and pay for external training?
What is the overtime policy?
How do you handle conflict in the workplace?
If I need help who do I ask, what does "the chain of command" chart look like
These are just a few. But the idea is to ask the questions that you wish you would have known the answers to before taking you last crappy job. could_use_a_snack Report Final score: 79points POST Mariaf Mariaf Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago for your future boss if he is part of the interview process "what is the most average day in this position?". If they start to wave around the answer or give torpes like "there is no typical / average day" it means either they don't have a clear job in mind, they have no set procedures on how to handle work tasks and you will and up doing 100 different things or you will be the fireman asked to put out fires all the time. Even for actual firemen have a number of standardised tasks they have to do every day. 15 15points reply View more comments #7 Initially unpaid, but will result in full time offer upon completion of XYZ todorooo , Yan Krukov Report Final score: 78points POST Mikey Kliss Mikey Kliss Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Run far away from this 23 23points reply View More Replies...

If your employees have to work multiple jobs, look at yourself and see how you can be doing better, don't see them as a traitor for needing the extra money. 21 21points reply View More Replies... View more comments #9 If you are expected to work right off without sufficient training. It reflects poorly on the company's management and likely also means that they don't care about the employees Naweezy , Kampus Production Report Final score: 76points POST Rico Mendez Rico Mendez Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Just started a job with a new Behavioral Health company after leaving my last one. They thought because of my experience that they didn't have to train me, so I was thrown into it almost right away. Every company is different, even if it's the same position, that's why it's called 'training' so you can get used to it their way, not your previous company's way. I found out that they didn't do it to just me, they also did it to this young girl that is brand new to the field. In other words, they just do it to everyone. 17 17points reply View more comments #10 It's common in my industry for you to be interviewed separately by 3 or 4 different people. They will typically all be people that you will be working with or for (e.g.: the hiring manager and two teammates). I've taken to asking each of them to describe what they see as the day-to-day duties and priorities of the role. If they don't align, it's a warning sign that no one knows exactly what they're hiring for. jaschac , Los Muertos Crew Report Final score: 76points POST Felice Coles Felice Coles Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Or that each person wants you to take over some of their work, so that you get a bunch of stuff to do that helps the others but not you. 15 15points reply View More Replies...

I was doing a phone interview for an IT position and the person I was interviewing with basically changed the details of the job during the interview. Instead of the first shift hours the position promised, he immediately went into saying it would be 6+ months before the opportunity for first shift would even be a possibility.
Also, he was big into asking how dedicated I was to jobs. The idea of weekend shifts (again, not in the original description) kept coming up and how everyone had to be a team player and help out on weekends when needed. The kicker was when he started talking about how many hours he worked. He was bragging that he was up at 6am everyday working, then he'd go into the office for the day, come home to see his family for dinner, and get right back to work until 10-11pm every night.
I had never been turned off from a job faster in my life. He asked me to think things over and he'd send me some paperwork via email. Needless to say, I called him the next morning and declined the job. It was the worst interview process I'd ever been in. Sttommyboy , Tima Miroshnichenko Report Final score: 72points POST DennyS (denzoren) DennyS (denzoren) Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago That person conducting the interview needs to wake up and realize what he's doing with his life. 20 20points reply View more comments #14 I was recently (roughly two months ago) given a job offer from a company I was really interested in. The job sounded great, was in a career path I was originally hoping for when graduating, and was back in my home town so I could see some old friends and family regularly.
When they made me an offer, it was a pretty big pay cut from what I'm currently making. Actual salary would have been flat-out even. I hate my current job, so that would have been ok by me. However, I would be losing a week of vacation, a week a paid sick time, getting slightly worse benefits, and half of what my current company offers in 401k matching.
When I asked what was available for negotiation, they got mad at me. In fact, they expected me to make this life-altering decision in 24 hours with little to no questions asked... and got even more mad that I wanted to negotiate *my life* instead of just say yes or no.
So... I ended up just walking away. I hate my current bosses, but not enough to walk away from 4 weeks of vacation and an extra week of sick leave. And especially not for, given the signs, people who will treat me the exact same way as my bosses.

Waited over 20 minutes before the secretary led me to a conference room. Waited another 40 minutes and got fed up. Quality manager walked in as I was getting up to leave. He was very offended when I told him he had wasted my time and i would never accept a position after being left to wait almost an hour while having an appointment. Tantric819 Report Final score: 58points POST JD JD Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 month ago (edited) I was going for a job internally, the candidate before me was external. My boss (interviewer) thought she'd "be nice" and let external just talk. They ran an hour over. By the time I got in, I'd had to cancel meetings, I'd wasted time as I couldn't work during the hour I was supposed to be in, and I was a nervous wreck. Told her that was a shitty thing to do to me and it would have been just as shitty had I been external. She genuinely hadn't considered the needs of the person waiting to go second. Fortunately she apologised and said she'd definitely not do that again. 31 31points reply View More Replies... View more comments #16 When looking at compensation figures, bear in mind that "up to X" includes the number zero. anon , Emil Kalibradov Report Final score: 52points POST Fat Harry Fat Harry Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago This happened to us. My partner's son got a new job and was going on about how he'd be earning £10 / hour. I asked "Have you had that confirmed?". "Well, no, but the advert said up to £10 / hour". I pointed out the "up to" and that "up to" included everything from zero to £3.50 and beyond. His response was "Well they're not exactly going to pay £3.50 because that's below the minimum wage!". Of course I was just using that to make a point. So what was his starting pay? £7.49 / hour. Nowhere near the £10 he assumed he'd be making. 16 16points reply View More Replies... View more comments #17 A former coworker shared this tidbit with me years ago and it works wonders.
Try to schedule your in person interview as late in the afternoon as possible, relevant to your position. If you're expecting a 9-5 job, schedule your interview for 4:00 or 4:30. You probably discussed after hours work etc during the interview, when you are done, you should be able to look around - are people still working? Is the parking lot empty? You can match up the evidence with what was claimed during the interview and from that, judge how realistic the entire job description is based on how they treated the after hours work. JermStudDog , RODNAE Productions Report Final score: 51points POST Bored Retsuko Bored Retsuko Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I don't agree with this one. It depends very much on your individual position and tasks. Your being required to work longer in the afternoon (or not) may differ a lot from the person in the next room if the tasks are just slightly different. 27 27points reply View More Replies... View more comments #18 I interviewed for a company that had a recruiter after me pretty hard. The company was just moving into my market and the reviews on Glassdoor definitely mentioned people being frustrated with the “bro culture“. All of my interviews were over facetime with the managers showing up in their pajamas from home and admitting that since the company is still growing the work load was pretty much 7 days a week until you got your new team hired and running - it just wasn’t very professional and it was obvious they didn’t have structure or care about people’s time.
I also don’t trust companies that brag about things like nerf gun fights around the office and constant Happy Hour events. Those perks are fun but it’s clear when that’s all they talk about in the job posting that they’re trying to distract you from other issues. I need to see that your company culture is enriching and creates success, not free lunches. hail_to_the_beef , Ben Collins Report Final score: 50points POST Geoffrey Hebel Geoffrey Hebel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Perks don't pay your bills.

30 People Share Things In Job Descriptions Or Interviews That Instantly Indicate Red Flags
Rokas Laurinavičius andAustėja Akavickaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source The US unemployment rate went up to 3.7% in August, a bump that surprised economists who had expected it to remain at July's 3.5%. One of the main reasons for this increase was the fact that more people were actively looking for work-labor force participation rose three-tenths of a percentage point to 62.4%. While the figure is still a full percentage point lower than it was before the pandemic in February 2020, it could be the first glimmer of hope that there might be some relief ahead when it comes to the tight supply of workers. However, when they're in such high demand, people shouldn't sign on the dotted line before exploring all of their options. To help everyone do this, we thought it would be useful to find a way to narrow the selection. And there's a Reddit thread that might do the trick. Created by user CurrentlyCurious, there's a post that asked, "What's a red flag when looking for a job?" The 12.9K comments it has received so far have plenty of suggestions! This post may include affiliate links. #1 “You’ll wear different hats in this role.”

Go into the interview with actual questions. (See some below) if the interview/s can't or won't answer them, thank them for their time and leave.
Sample questions:
What is the turnover rate?
How do pay increases work?
Are promotions internal? And are they based on performance or seniority?
How long have you worked here?
Do you offer and pay for external training?
What is the overtime policy?
How do you handle conflict in the workplace?
If I need help who do I ask, what does "the chain of command" chart look like
These are just a few. But the idea is to ask the questions that you wish you would have known the answers to before taking you last crappy job. could_use_a_snack Report Final score: 79points POST Mariaf Mariaf Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago for your future boss if he is part of the interview process "what is the most average day in this position?". If they start to wave around the answer or give torpes like "there is no typical / average day" it means either they don't have a clear job in mind, they have no set procedures on how to handle work tasks and you will and up doing 100 different things or you will be the fireman asked to put out fires all the time. Even for actual firemen have a number of standardised tasks they have to do every day. 15 15points reply View more comments #7 Initially unpaid, but will result in full time offer upon completion of XYZ todorooo , Yan Krukov Report Final score: 78points POST Mikey Kliss Mikey Kliss Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Run far away from this 23 23points reply View More Replies...

They thought because of my experience that they didn't have to train me, so I was thrown into it almost right away. Every company is different, even if it's the same position, that's why it's called 'training' so you can get used to it their way, not your previous company's way. I found out that they didn't do it to just me, they also did it to this young girl that is brand new to the field. In other words, they just do it to everyone. 17 17points reply View more comments #10 It's common in my industry for you to be interviewed separately by 3 or 4 different people. They will typically all be people that you will be working with or for (e.g.: the hiring manager and two teammates). I've taken to asking each of them to describe what they see as the day-to-day duties and priorities of the role. If they don't align, it's a warning sign that no one knows exactly what they're hiring for. jaschac , Los Muertos Crew Report Final score: 76points POST Felice Coles Felice Coles Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Or that each person wants you to take over some of their work, so that you get a bunch of stuff to do that helps the others but not you. 15 15points reply View More Replies...

I was doing a phone interview for an IT position and the person I was interviewing with basically changed the details of the job during the interview. Instead of the first shift hours the position promised, he immediately went into saying it would be 6+ months before the opportunity for first shift would even be a possibility.
Also, he was big into asking how dedicated I was to jobs. The idea of weekend shifts (again, not in the original description) kept coming up and how everyone had to be a team player and help out on weekends when needed. The kicker was when he started talking about how many hours he worked. He was bragging that he was up at 6am everyday working, then he'd go into the office for the day, come home to see his family for dinner, and get right back to work until 10-11pm every night.
I had never been turned off from a job faster in my life. He asked me to think things over and he'd send me some paperwork via email. Needless to say, I called him the next morning and declined the job. It was the worst interview process I'd ever been in.

The job sounded great, was in a career path I was originally hoping for when graduating, and was back in my home town so I could see some old friends and family regularly.
When they made me an offer, it was a pretty big pay cut from what I'm currently making. Actual salary would have been flat-out even. I hate my current job, so that would have been ok by me. However, I would be losing a week of vacation, a week a paid sick time, getting slightly worse benefits, and half of what my current company offers in 401k matching.
When I asked what was available for negotiation, they got mad at me. In fact, they expected me to make this life-altering decision in 24 hours with little to no questions asked... and got even more mad that I wanted to negotiate *my life* instead of just say yes or no.
So... I ended up just walking away. I hate my current bosses, but not enough to walk away from 4 weeks of vacation and an extra week of sick leave. And especially not for, given the signs, people who will treat me the exact same way as my bosses.

My boss (interviewer) thought she'd "be nice" and let external just talk. They ran an hour over. By the time I got in, I'd had to cancel meetings, I'd wasted time as I couldn't work during the hour I was supposed to be in, and I was a nervous wreck. Told her that was a shitty thing to do to me and it would have been just as shitty had I been external. She genuinely hadn't considered the needs of the person waiting to go second. Fortunately she apologised and said she'd definitely not do that again. 31 31points reply View More Replies...

My partner's son got a new job and was going on about how he'd be earning £10 / hour. I asked "Have you had that confirmed?". "Well, no, but the advert said up to £10 / hour". I pointed out the "up to" and that "up to" included everything from zero to £3.50 and beyond. His response was "Well they're not exactly going to pay £3.50 because that's below the minimum wage!". Of course I was just using that to make a point. So what was his starting pay? £7.49 / hour. Nowhere near the £10 he assumed he'd be making. 16 16points reply View More Replies... View more comments #17 A former coworker shared this tidbit with me years ago and it works wonders.
Try to schedule your in person interview as late in the afternoon as possible, relevant to your position. If you're expecting a 9-5 job, schedule your interview for 4:00 or 4:30. You probably discussed after hours work etc during the interview, when you are done, you should be able to look around - are people still working? Is the parking lot empty? You can match up the evidence with what was claimed during the interview and from that, judge how realistic the entire job description is based on how they treated the after hours work. JermStudDog , RODNAE Productions Report Final score: 51points POST Bored Retsuko Bored Retsuko Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I don't agree with this one. It depends very much on your individual position and tasks. Your being required to work longer in the afternoon (or not) may differ a lot from the person in the next room if the tasks are just slightly different. 27 27points reply View More Replies... View more comments #18 I interviewed for a company that had a recruiter after me pretty hard. The company was just moving into my market and the reviews on Glassdoor definitely mentioned people being frustrated with the “bro culture“. All of my interviews were over facetime with the managers showing up in their pajamas from home and admitting that since the company is still growing the work load was pretty much 7 days a week until you got your new team hired and running - it just wasn’t very professional and it was obvious they didn’t have structure or care about people’s time.
I also don’t trust companies that brag about things like nerf gun fights around the office and constant Happy Hour events. Those perks are fun but it’s clear when that’s all they talk about in the job posting that they’re trying to distract you from other issues. I need to see that your company culture is enriching and creates success, not free lunches. hail_to_the_beef , Ben Collins Report Final score: 50points POST Geoffrey Hebel Geoffrey Hebel Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Perks don't pay your bills.
