We’ve all heard the saying before “You’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you” but what does that actually mean? It actually means a lot more than just come prepared with questions to ask the interviewer. Make sure that you are considering the following:
Red Flags- Many people never think about this but is the company giving you any red flags when you go in for an interview. For example;
-
Do they keep asking to reschedule your interview?
-
Do they keep you waiting in the lobby long after your interview time?
-
Do you walk in and feel like the company atmosphere is off?
-
Do you get a gut feeling that this isn’t a good office environment for you?
These are what can be considered Red Flags and should be things you consider before taking the position.
Remember what you’re worth- They already know you have something to offer because they gave you a face to face interview. But sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the nervousness of interviewing that you forget to really sell yourself.
-
Remember the company would be lucky to have you!
-
This is not the last interview you’ll ever have so if you see any red flags it’s ok to pass on a job offer.
