If you're in an interview, you ask interviewers about their company culture, and they say “we are like a family" and that there’s "no office politics here", watch out for warning signs, because this is a clear RED FLAG. Your company is not your family, your co-workers are clearly not your family. Having a positive work culture doesn’t mean you should think of your co-workers as a family. The “Co-workers are your family” dynamic is used by both CEOs and managers in hopes of keeping employees loyal. But this kind of dynamic and terminology can often lead to painful and dangerous career experiences and side effects and you'd rather find out why.

Have you come across any of these warning signs of a bad employer? What other hiring process RED FLAGS would you mention? One of those signs is when the employer says "We're Family" about the company environment, check out this detailed video on "work family" concept: czcams.com/video/2iJJzL_I0X4/video.html
Hey there birthday boy, here's one I "love"..."Oh, we're all friends here. We all get along great." Yeah right. Sounds like BS to me.
Unrealistic targets
"open to work hard" is also a good one
@@reedrts1 Yes, that's BS and it takes a very short time at the company to find it out :)
@@workoutathomeideas2873 Yes!
You are so right about the "we're a family" mindset. We're a family = zero boundaries
They’re “The Manson Family”.
That explains my first software job out of college. Family culture, meant working Monday and Thursday nights, broadcast emails to the whole company saying you screwed up the software, etc. trying to quit was like leaving the mafia.
One of the things I noticed in "fast paced" means being overworked. An overload that should be covered by one or more people or positions and they save money by increasing your load =fast paced
My number one red flag: when your interviewer keeps calling you by another name even after you've corrected their initial misunderstanding.
You’re absolutely right about employers who say “We are a family.” Sometimes that means a toxic, cliquish environment where abuse is allowed and people who’ve worked there for years are the ones who get away with it. That “we are family” quote really means “it’s our way or the highway” because they’re not accepting any feedback from newcomers so you’ll feel like a complete outcast.
I remember when this manager was badmouthing the girl which wasn't working there anymore, gave me shivers I knew that job was a bad idea
That's the sign right there for you.
Me too!
@@dodongai what did yours say?
@@emmsummer7811 we need to redo everything, the last girl who worked here (bare in mind she was really good) fucked everything up.
Oddly enough, that happened after I started a recent job and now six months later I regret I took the position. Boy, this recruiter is spot on with his analysis!
This is sound advise. I was laid off from a software company back in 2009. I felt a connection to this company to which every few months over the next 12 years I wished I could work there again. Fast forward to the Fall of 2021, when they called me when I was in between jobs and offered me a position on the spot. I had two feelings during that call: excitement and a feeling that this choice is unwise. Within a month I was having nightmares that I would be fired. It happened five months later. The same people that gave me grief my first go around were the same people the second time. Toxic culture. Being told I’d be working with this and that technologies, but then to be put on fixing bugs in their 12 year old legacy software. Being verbally yelled at when not understanding someone’s personal code. I was blaming myself. Their expectations were that I already knew the software inside and out even though there was a 12year gap between my first and second stint.
I no longer work in software. I work manual labor with 20 year olds, half my age. I make 1/2 my former salary, but I AM HAPPY, and I sleep at night!!!
That's amazing, our mental health is priceless. I'm happy for you brother. ❤
Yes. Yes. And, Yes. I saw all the red flags as soon as I drove into the parking lot and during the interview. Why did I say yes? Financial issues, fear of rejection from other job interviews offer, and lack of decent references. I was offered and accepted the job immediately after the interview. I will just hold on as long as I can.
Holy crap. You are so right about employers who say "we are a family." In hindsight, the most toxic companies I've worked for had that family mindset. I haven't even watched your other video yet and I know what you mean. Thank you so much! You totally opened my eyes!
Absolutely! "The family mindset" is how they paint it, when it fact it's a place where certain type of abusive dynamics are tolerated!
You are very welcome btw! Good luck with your job search and keep me posted!
Happened to me
Family my arse
I wish I was watching this back in March 2020 instead of interview tip videos. If you are a stubborn person like I am you can waste a good chunk of time in a toxic environment until finally you leave, or are forced...
What I find funny is most company job ads are advertised as looking for a junior to mid-level skill set, and yet their list of requirements and must-know skills are outrageous and would embarrass even a senior level applican, your #7 tip! Not sure if they actually know what they're looking for, or just maximizing the low balled salary and they're not actually after the progress and career welfare of the employee to be hired...
That's a common practice for poor quality employers, always trying to get qualified people but not wanting to pay them right. They want all as much knowledge and experience as possible but offer a "junior role". As I said, these places don't plan investing a lot more in the employee so things won't be changing for better.
I was once interviewed by a boss using card table and chairs as a desk. Without going into detail, that was a huge red flag.
You can’t believe how many times I’ve seen: Work Hard, Play Hard. So many start ups and other disorganized companies use this motto written around their company walls and their recruitment pages
Because that's quite of a red flag!
This was a pattern for me too, I ended up having a bad manager twice in a row and I am thankful for getting fired on that second job.
Best thing that could've happened to me, I like my job and manager now
I am so glad to hear that. There is a bright side to every story and it's our due to make the most of it!
Sometimes, a bad thing that happen is a blessing in disguise, which can turn out way way better than you expect.
OMG, this is so true. I've been looking for the right job since the beginning of the Plandemic, unfortunately my position was eliminated and found myself looking for a job similar to the one I lost, it has taking my almost three years and I am down to my last penny and most of the jobs out there are bad as you described. But, I am keeping my faith that I will find the right job sooner than later.
I've been reading about low salary in many job boards its incredibly unfair that companies use the impact of the pandemic to worsen the employment conditions. its ridiculous to have such low wages
Some industries have been affected badly, but thing are getting back on track!
I have noticed this too.
Fast paced is part of so many job descriptions
Yes, too many I'd say!
Turnover. This one’s a biggie! I was recently interviewing with a few companies, and I asked my favourite pick “how did the position you’re recruiting for open?” Answer: “XYZ just got promoted from the position so we need someone to fill this vacancy”. For me, that’s a good sign, as this means the person didn’t leave the company but grew within it (plus, my final interview was with the guy who got promoted, so he could tell me all about it). Needless to say, I was very happy about the transparency of this hiring process… passed the interviews, and am about to start a job with this company :)
That's an excellent strategy while interviewing with companies, it indeed says a lot about the chances of being successful at the job. Companies that promote people tend to have a better work environment and culture overall.
I hope you are happy at this new place and that you enjoy the role!
Be careful. Sometimes, that means a restructuing happened, a lot of people left so they needed to promote and hire new people. It's not always a good thing unless you know the whole story. I'm in this position. Best of luck man
@@MS-wy4sb Yeah, I get you. A restructuring isn’t inherently a bad thing though! All that means is, perhaps, that growth is happening if they need to hire more, that is, the hierarchy had to be made taller in order to manager the team easier. Growth is a good thing, or?
@@MS-wy4sb While I know what you mean, those companies that restructure do not typically promote their existing employees. Most restructured companies have new management onboard and they bring their own people, putting them in key positions. It's rare for restructured companies to promote the current workforce and to hire new people as a replacement.
Yesterday I got offered a job where I only had a phone interview with the HR Recruiter and that's it. That had red flags all over it. Despite being unemployed for a month, I still declined it.
It's hard, I know. But you did the right thing. When it's too easy, it's no good either.
Why is it a red flag if the you get the job in 1 call interview?
It seems to me that you would rather claim JSA!
I knew my former employer had a bad reputation but I allowed myself to be convinced by the person who hired me that things changed and that they really took care of people now. Little did I know he (my ex boss who hired me) was the source of the toxicity and negativity
The fact that you say former is already a good thing. At least you are no longer there!
Those who make you overwork for a crap salary and not paying any of the extra time
I hear ya.
Offers that come very fast with no reason are usually a bad sign. Another obvious one if they ask you to sign something immediately already enough of a reason to walk away from any job offer they just can’t pressure you like that
Or they must have really liked your profile and want to get you onboard as soon as possible. It really depends on your overall impressions.
You should never mix family with workplace. If workplace is your family, it means they pay you for you to serve indefinitely, which means you must work overtime, super hard or probably 24/7 like how you engage with your real family. So you should never hear "we are a family" in the workplace, so that you could separate your employment and your real family.
As a job seeker It's crucial to vet companies before accepting an offer. Asking questions about company culture, opportunities for professional development, are they open to new ideas what happens when someone makes a mistake and is there micromanaging? I recently relocated to a new state and have declined two offers more money doesn't mean it's a stellar place to work.
I was given a job offer. The hiring manager said.... You need a job and i a
have a job for you. Like i should kiss his feet and worship them lol. I am going to decline the job offer like tomorrow.
I love these videos it brings me back bad memories and it calms me down knowing I’m not the only one
I know exactly what you mean. Thankfully some of those very unpleasant memories turn into "just memories" with time.
@@myemmotion I almost forgot to leave a like, that’s how much I love these. I ended up joining the military after 2 years of asshole employers but they won’t be forgotten
@@slicedup3768 No wonder, such employers drained out all the energy and motivation out of you. It takes a certain time to get it all back! Thanks for the like btw :)
I spent months depressed
@@emmsummer7811 I am sorry to hear that, hope things are much better now.
After I left my first job after college, I took one desperately, and they folded after three months. I interviewed at another company, and when I asked the boss about how they did their work, he accused me of being a spy for my previous employer. I declined his offer days later.
Hello Marat, thank you for sharing this video.The red flags I’ve see at my job is that employees always have an angry face, fast pace by working me down to the ground, high turnover, terrible micromanagement, toxic environment, no room for growth or advancement, bad pay, low salary with my degree and credentials, discrimination such as I can’t leave due to family emergencies, or doctors appointments, and we’re like a family”.
The list which you've made in your other point is already more than enough reason for you to leave the place. You might want to do it the smart way and first already start looking for another job, so you can give your notice soon enough!
@@myemmotion I’m looking for another job as well.
Marat you are so right about red flags about a company. I recently interviewed for a job & when the manager got online she never even introduced herself, the director was 10 minutes late to join the zoom meeting. The manager was condescending to her boss during the interview process & that same manager asked her questions aggressively. I did my best to be polite & respectful during the process even though all I wanted was to hang up on them. The job was offered by the recruiter 4 days after the interview, & I happily declined the offer. I came from a toxic work environment & I was glad I recognized toxic in the interview!
Key signs to look out for is how long they get back to you after applying. If you applied say 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything then the phone goes a few weeks after for a interview, that tells me that they couldn’t find anyone and will take you on because they are desperate
That could be a sign too! Sometimes the HR might leave people applying while they hire for other roles, and then at some point they finally go through all the applications, but it could be just as you described as well.
@@myemmotionso what would be a good timeline for them to get back to you? Also, if a recruiter for the company I apply for keeps emailing me last minute or with only 1 day’s notice about interviews. Would you say this is a red flag?
3:08 is so true. I thought I found the perfect job until I rang the doorbell and was let in only to find the office door locked and noone there to greet me. I sat outside the office door and expected someone to come, and the only person who came was a confused worker who wanted to know what I was doing.
I then waited 20 mins to be greeted by basically Giga Chad and his friends and was interviewed by them and they showed 0 interest in me. When I looked at the staff I realised I'm not getting the job because I didn't have the specific look they all had.
The money and benefits were excellent and rejection always hurts but I definitely dodged a bullet. I'm always judging them as much as they judge me from now on
When offered a job we are the one who chooses to accept or to turn it down, so it’s all our responsibility
As a matter of fact is it, but we also cross the streets and it doesn't mean that we should be hit by a car.
That's why God invented Red Flags. It's so we could choose wisely for ourselves 😜. Our host is helping us 👍
Excellent rewatch, loved the advise
loved how you said about ending up with things you would rather not do... lol
Haha, I know it because I've seen it!
Thank you! I literally had all these red flaggs come up with a job I had been wanting in my company and was finally offered for. But my gut feeling new better. Thank you so much for making this video and keep it up.
You are so very welcome. You’ve done a great job by analyzing the situation and what that job could have meant for you. What did you tell them while declining?
Another RED flag is when a company or business is distrubiting flyers to people to work for them. I learn the hard way not to make the same mistake.
The only red flag I am facing right now is that, within the last week, I have been interviewed for a total of about 4-5 different positions within the same company. I also have an interview today. The 1st position I’ve interviewed for offered me the position just this past Friday… at the lowest number in the compensation band for that role… I am/was willing to negotiate but asked if I can at least have a week or two to give her a final answer since I would hate to pass up any other job opportunities that may be heading my way by the end of the following week and the hr rep said she will give me to the end of day Monday (today) to make my decision. That was the red flag for me… she was able to see I have another job interview scheduled on Monday and I explained to her I had another position I was waiting to hear back from by the end of the following week and I felt like it’s unrealistic to give someone less than a week to sit and explore their opportunities to the fullest while I am actively seeking a career during a low key recession and inflation time period.
Because I personally believe I will receive another two job offers from the same company just a different position, I feel I have to decline the first offer just because I don’t want to pass up on another and the first job offers is at the lowest on my list that I desired the most out of all the other positions…. I prayed on it.. and sat on this idea pretty much all weekend so I trust that God is sending me another job offer with better pay from a position I desire the most by the end of this week ❣️💯🙏🏾
Thanks for the video 😊
I made huge mistake getting promoted in same company not asking many questions before take responsibilities it was not same duties as described during the interview, they were asking for longer hours stressful work and I end up losing my job.
Make sure your definition of hard work matches the company. I totally agree. If a job description is negative, most likely I avoid it. Fast paced or stressful to me is a warning sign if you put it in the job description. Glassdoor is very useful. I agree if you see a pattern and a ton of bad reviews....stay away.
Usually the signs add up and it’s never just one thing in concrete. From the job description up to all the interviews keep revealing a lot of information about the company. Sometimes already enough to find out what the company environment has in store for you.
Hope you find that positive and healthy environment you are looking for!
I was wondering why do so many entry level jobs require more years of experience than anyone would logically have? Many companies need more than 5 years, that’s insane, how can someone still be an entry with more than 5 years of experience. Would anyone care to explain how they manager to get away with it?
Its just a reason to still pay you "entry level" salary even when you have 4-5 years experience lol 😂😂 obviously im half joking, but sometimes its actually the case
Reality is always ask for MORE than you want (as the employer and employee) and youll end up with what you actually want. Ask for 5 years youll get 2 years. Ask for 100k and youll get 90k.
Very accurate! thank you
Great video!! This was very helpful. I’m currently at a job that doesn’t give raises to their employees and I’m searching for a new opportunity. Your video has reinforced my instincts and effort to find a better opportunity.
After working in a "multinational" company based in Italy for a year, I can safely add some more red flags of my own... and I wish I had known them sooner along the ones in the video.
1) Look at the company car: if the car seems a bit too flashy for the company, while the service cars and vans seem extremely dirty and beaten up, you can safely assume that the CEO loves writing off the new cars he buys for himself as "business expenses". Leave.
2) If the company says it has multiple locations and those are all located in expensive cities (like Dubai, London and such), but the HQ is located in a dingy basement in a medium-priced city, the smell of mismanagent is quite strong and you'll likely be paid either late or never. Run away.
3) During the first month, if you ask for overtime payment because you've been there 30 days and worked 10 hours instead of 8 every single day because of some "emergencies and unrgencies" that needed to be fixed (mind you, those emergencies pop up every single day), and you get laughed at? Run away. Don't give them an hour more.
Super tips! thanks very much.
I have worked for several toxic work environments in my life. I wish I had watched this 20 years ago.
Wow! This is a great video, wish I’d seen it before accepting... You have a very new subscriber!
Great as always!
Thank you very much, Sebastian!
Your spot on in this commentary. Worked for a small business with good to fair benefits but could not retain good help. The Owner will post openings on a well-known website but will not allow employee's reviews of the company.
I interviewed where they said “we are like family” and “we work hard and play hard” also, When I sat down for my interview they have this little table filled with alcohol and shot glasses and for me that felt really strange
Pretty much every job I’ve ever worked as a RN 😂😂😂 fast paced, flexible, attention to detail…
I really felt the "Company make look good on the outside but isn't; do more research". In my past I have fallen for a company that has a great reputation but it ended up being a shitty experience; a catalyst for 3 years of work related misery following after. This was a company I favoured over another one too.. I could have gone (should have) gone to a second interview I had lined up somewhere else but I cancelled it! Like a idiot! Could of have worked **there still** perhaps.
My red flag moment was only recently when the interviewer said "2 of his employees had a burnout" at the BEGINNING of the interview!
This was very informative & interesting as always Marat. I hope you are well; I noticed that it has been a while since you've posted. Many greetings & much love to you from The Netherlands. Stay safe.
Seriously you helped me lot thank you so much i was very confused and pressurized to accept job offer.... But no i have observed multiple red flags which u have told here thank you once again
Great video. I had a virtual interview recently where the interviewer was very condescending and was rushed as well. I ultimately didn’t get the job offer but I wouldn’t have accepted it either. That part where you say in the interview is where they’ll be the nicest to you, makes a lot of sense.
I had a job interview and the HR gave me the wrong address for the meeting (red flag #1) which I questioned them about and they corrected that. Then I asked why the position was open and they said the last person had a dispute with the manager (red flag #2). Then in the interview I met with some very overweight man who had been with the company for over 20 years and he started peppering me with technical questions that had no bearing on the job I was applying for (red flag #3). I didn't get that job but I was not prepared to accept it anyways.
If you can get an advance copy of the employee handbook or guidelines, read it in full. It says a lot about a company.
5:00 spot on bullseye!
Surely a strong enough reason to stay away from them.
Also the tone they used can be fake. I rejected to work for a company last month as the recruiter sound so phony and excited. I felt like she was trying to lure me into something not that nice
Recruiters should be professional, there can be an excitement in their voice, of course, but it shouldn't be over the top. If it sounded like she was trying to sell you something, that's definitely a red flag!
I recently attended an interview; in the screening process, the HR representative mentioned this work from the office.
In the first round of interviews, they arrived 15 minutes late and didn't ask any technical questions, stating that they were looking for someone who was suitable for their company culture rather than a technically sound person. She didn't bring up the topic of work time, instead stating that they were evaluating the suitability of her shift timing for the office.
In the second round of interviews, another interviewer stated that the knowledge they were expecting did not align with my resume. In addition, the process is highly fragmented, customer expectations are high, and you are required to regularly visit the office and work a night shift. I learned about these aspects during the interview process.
The third round of HR interviews stated that shifts can be extended, there is high demand from the customer, and how often customer conflict arises, bla bla bla. And finally, it was stated that there is a cab facility to drop off and no pick-up facility to be provided.
Please tell me whether I should consider this offer if I am supposed to get it. It made me feel like they were trying to trap me in this job.
Brilliant video. I am sure many of use can relate to these issues at least at some point of hour life.
On the other hand, this video is for those with the privilege to decline a job offer in a toxic company, meaning a small percentage out there.
As an expert on the field, what are your thoughts when you, as a candidate, don't have other choice but to take the toxic job. For example, immigrants rarely have the luxury to be able to decline an offer. What would you say them in that situation.
Thanks and keep up the brilliant work.
I appreciate your kind feedback. And it's true that not everybody's circumstances can let you decline a job. However think how burned out you are going end up once you accept the job and enter that place. Of course, you can always consider it a temporary option, but give it a few weeks and it sucks you in completely.
some job descriptions have nothing to do with the job itself
You know such places can get sued for false advertising.
Happy birthday 🎂🍾🤗🙏
Thank you very much :)
I went for an interview many years ago, filled in the application form and waited for my turn. Then they told me the interviewer was busy and asked me to leave. No apology from the company.
The interviewer kept saying it was expected to do more with less but claimed he prioritized work-life balance. I've been in that situation before, there's no such thing as being able to do more with less AND have a balance. Not only that, it would hurt my long term career goals so as much as it pained me I turned down the job.
but you can have a work life balance
I hope you found a much better role already!
Great video this is my current situation. It however seems I am having more problems with the recruiter rather than the employer themselves. I have now been informed I have to relocate fully for the job, which is hybrid (this seems inflexible). I also cannot use my company to conduct the work I have to go through their process.
Is being hired on the spot a red flag
Yes, when they seem desperate to hire someone.
That happens when they don't have anyone else to choose from.
@@positivethinking4464 Exactly.
Very useful 👌
I once went for a job interview and after I arrived I met my interviewer in reception and he led me to their office and as soon as I walked in the door it was like I had just opened an oven door. The heat was insane. Everyone was sat in the same small room with no windows open and the heat from their bodies and computers was just roasting the place up. I immediatly started to doubt whether I wanted to work there or not, even though I had originally really wanted the job because it was offering training on something I really wanted to learn. I spent the entire interview wanting nothing more than to GTFO of there and with sweat dripping out of my armpits and down my sides. After the interview I heard back from the recruiter that they were were not going to offer me the job because they felt like I wasn't interested. He also said that I was the third person they had said the exact same thing about. He then had a rant about it and said he had had an argument with the company director and told him that he refused to work with him any more.
I literally turned a job down because their language wasn't consistent about the types of work I'd be doing. And one minute they said permanent contract next thing they said seasonal, driving me crazy in an uncool way.
Such contradictory information is a huge damage to the company reputation.
I had a company forgot to call me for the interview the first time..then the next time the date was scheduled on the Sunday when I tried to call to let them know there was a date mix up..and the HR person did not get back to me until the following week then she finally calls and the only available time she had was during my vacation..I did it and it went well...I accepted the offer...but something is telling me not to take it
Those are RED flags. Lack of boundaries for you, this tells the perspective company that you will accept whatever is given including the overstepping of boundaries. Rethink your decision.
Just found this video and watched it.
Last week, I experienced 5 ouf of 7 signs you mentioned. The hiring process wasn't clear, no detailed task, asked to started my 1st day w/o the probations process etc explanation, no salary mentioned.
I asked the manager and hr, got weird answers.
When they finally explained to me and got veryyyyy low salary offer, i knew that i got to RUN from this company.
Hopefully, i can get better offer soon.
Tyvm for your video
5:51 I always look and read at the bad comments from former employees before I click "Apply now" .. The bad comments ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT AND A BIG SAVIOUR than the good comments.
Man, companies out here giving people PTSD.
OMG I've seen fake reviews on Glassdoor too they just didn't make sense
What kind of reviews were those?
u will only know the truth after you go to their place for interview .
I wish this channel came out 6 years ago, it would have been very informative at the time.
I decline a job after assign it because thr company called me to offer me a position with a good salary but they never explain to me what's gonna be my daily tasks and i felt terrifing one i was there and the employees have this sad faces and i was like no i don't feel my place here ...
You are a genius man!🤣
I heard my boss once say "Ill give someone all the rope they need to hang themselves" referring to employees. This person is the president and co-owner of a business. This person meant it, or believed, that its supposed to be a message of giving someone all the chances they need to work out whatever issue. All the while Im standing there thinking, how about help them so that doesnt happen in the first place? That was about a month into the job, I was keeping my eyes open for something else after that. That kind of remark destroyed any trust that could have been developing. It showed a selfishness and ruthlessness that I wanted nothing to do with. I was there for 18 months and in that time, 12 people were hired and then either fired/let go/quit, including me. I could go on about everything I saw and heard while I was there. Short version is, employers only care about themselves and Im done with being loyal to any of them.
A red flag interview question that I had asked to me was “How long do you think it will it take to pay for yourself?” Ha ha ha. Next.
Great video.
What do you mean "to pay for yourself"? Did they ask you to work for free? No way!
Thanks for your kind feedback :)
Simple red flag which for me works: You don't wanna take the job offer
Thank
I have come interviewers who did all the talking!
I'm applying to so many jobs and I get about 2 to 3 interviews per week and sometimes those places ask me to submit preliminary work right down to submitting work on how I'd market them and they all pass me up.
What kind of work they ask you to submit?
In the manufacturing career path, high turnover and excessive overtime has come to be the normal for most companies I have either worked for or applied for. High turnover is a huge red flag, every place I have worked at with that, there is always a few reasons for it. I have left three companies now that wanted me to work 6-7 days a week because the pay is low, their turnover rate is high, and they are all severely understaffed. One was a 12 hour shift, 5 pm to 5 am workplace, still wants you to work 5-6 days a week.
I remember a few months ago I got a call for a analyst position for translating some automobile manuals for a japanese company. I told her that I was by far not fluent on the written part, but that I was fully prepared to do the task for I have been studying Japanese for years, and on the off chance I don't understand I can dig out the meaning of any word with all the tools I have gathered. I also literally hinted at the interviewer (as young as I was) to be careful of other applicants that might be "fluent" in japanese, and she probably took that as a red flag despite the fact that I told her I have been studying it for 10 years and I am still pretty medium.
Later on she called me to ask if I could help the department, but only as a favor. No ho ho. thank you very much. You're the one that screwed up, I am not gonna help cover your screwup for free or the possibility of working at a company where HR is such a joke.
What did you mean about "being careful" with other more fluent applicants while speaking to the interviewer? It's really something which might cause a certain confusion.
And you did the right thing, they rejected you for the position and wanted you to do the job for free? That's not how things work!
@@myemmotion If I recall correctly I basically told her a few stories of teachers and coworkers that "knew Japanese" but couldn't even tell the difference between Kanji and Hiragana. My guess is they know some basic understanding, and if that was enough to develop profesionally, I would have been done with the language ages ago.
I don't know why, but in my country, easy 90% of the people lie about knowing english, I don't even know why, it's a pretty simple language.
So you can guess how terrible the deal is with Japanese. (They also say German is hard, I merely glanced over it once and it didn't see it so hard, least not in comparison to 5000 basic kanji that look all the friggin same)
@@tafferchuck1349 I get it now. In some cultures it’s very common to exagerrate the knowledge of the language indeed!
Japanese is fascinating and you are right about it being very hard. I think she probably realized it later on, which is why she still reached you out for a collaboration.
" We r like a family" Great more people who wants to borrow $$
The hidden messages are countless!
Yes, keep going
I can relate to everything in the video
Going through that now.
this needs part 2
I will surely think of it!
Job description is very vague but very different after 2nd interview
Not good at all!
When you hear retention and high turn over that is all the red flag i need too hear
Recruiter I spoke to was unprofessional and rude several times during our brief communication. I am really curious to meet team members to see if he is just a bad apple or a symptom of a greater problem. I am definitely going to ask them why they weren't able to fill the position in a year.
Those kind of things immediately affect your motivation for the role. I hope the rest of the team is professional, let me know what responses they are giving you regarding this.
@@myemmotion Funny thing is, the same recruiter did 180 degree turn in communication after I made a good impression on team members. Some people... :) I'll ask about the reason why the position has been open for a while in next round.
@@NatureFreak1127 So unprofessional and quite fake if you ask me. How big is this company? It's to understand how much interaction your department would have with the HR and/or other departments. Maybe you won't even have to deal with this person again.
I had a interview, the recruiter was running late. The receptionist was rather unfriendly. When I went into the room the recruiter didn’t even introduce herself. Her first words are, I can’t find my pen. No smiles, or nothing. I got a bad feeling and withdrew
@@myemmotion I won't have communication with them, as I will be in entirely different department. I took the job, the team members made fine impression. I don't expect miracles, but I think it is definitely going to be better, than a toxic snake pit I am in currently. :)
Had experienced interviewers who seemed decent during an interview but becomes different persons after you joined them. In one I was verbally abused just because I used a group chat to announce a meeting (doesn't make sense, i know), narcissistic employers shouted at me over this and tried to force me to leave without paying me. They only relented after I threathened to call the cops. There are also interviewers who lied about the job description - not providing details regarding "ad hoc" duties. After I joined, they said I had to make and serve coffee to guests, turn off lights/appliances after everyone left, even go out of my way on weekends to mail stuff for them, I stopped after 2 weeks due to disagreements with that company. I had ignored some red flags during interviews, take up jobs, and regretted eversince.
My mom work for this company for 40 years and recently the company just hired a younger worker with a very rude attitude and neglected clients' cases for 2 to 6 weeks and as the clients complain, the management pushed the new worker's work onto my mother and didn't reprimand the new employee.
Your coworkers aren't your friends and the company that is this incompetent doesn't deserve to be there. I can't wait for the day my mother leave that company and I see that company lose funding, because my mother brings in half of the company's cases.
I would add, being fickle about the interview date, e.g. cancelling within 30 mins of the interview time to reschedule another opportunity to interview. If they do it once its bad enough but twice is a signal that they are too disorganised.
Absolutely. Constantly re-scheduling an interview is a terrible sign, especially on a short notice.
1. Interviewer came unprepared. 2, Hair not groomed, 3. The interviewer didn't give a proper welcome remark, 4. kept on seeking for weak areas of the prospective candidate, 5, the interviewer schedule didn't show up -the company had to find a replacement coz the schedule interviewer had resigned from their positions
I hated by co-workers and I didn't hide it either.
I need your help Marat!
I once got hired by a company after sitting through 1 interview with a peer and a HR manager. Surprisingly they were not even negotiating on my salary ask (which was on the high side). Where's the hiring manager I asked? They said oh they are still in the process of identifying the right candidate. Anyway, I ended up joining them but quitting in 4 months because it was terrible. The prior manager left after 2 months in the job and subsequent candidate that they hire to be my manager didn't even last as long as i did. Lol..
So, moral here is that your gut always knows what's up. Sometimes, you still take the job (because it pays well), which is fine but do not stop the job application process, especially those that you had already begun in early stages of the selection process. Keep your options open for the initial couple of months. You won't regret it.
"Stay away from them" - it is never a "small isolated problem" - it will be literally engrained over months from the HR to VP as "like minded" are moved into key roles for strategic intentions instead of professional ability and experience.
