In today’s job market, it can feel like winning the lottery just to hear back from a recruiter to set up an interview.
But even in a challenging market, it’s important to know what you need in a job, what you want and what your red flags are. It’s important to make sure you’re staying cognizant of these major red flags as they reveal more than you think and can help you decide whether you need to consider the offer or simply, RUN!
To help you navigate job interview red flags we decided to share with you the major red flag that ultimately leads to an unsuccessful work environment.
Make sure you always asks the recruiter or hiring manager how many people are on the team you’ll be joining, how they work together, and how the role will support the overall team’s goals. It’s a red flag if the interviewer describes the team as “very lean” or “very small.”
We recommend gauging the team’s workload as soon as possible and reflecting whether that’s an environment you’d thrive in before you make a big decision like accepting a job offer.
