Things to Consider When Seeking Employment...The Red Flags!

1. The company calls you back on your cell phone within an hour after you apply to set up an interview.



2. There is no company website.



3. However, when you google the site 3 or 4 articles come up in the search...that are Careerbuilder pages or fraudulent reports.



4. The company office is shared by what appears to be other fraudulent companies.



5. Those other companies whom share that office call you back to schedule an interview THE SAME DAY as your interview with the original company.



6. The interviewer asks you questions, that do not give you the opportunity to sell yourself.

i.e., "So you would consider yourself a leader?"



you reply, "Yes."



interviewer says, "Okay, okay. I can see that."

7. The person who calls you to set up an interview tells you how to dress, "Wear something business casual."

8. That same person tells you to bring your resume.

9. When you get to your interview, that same person says to you, "Oooh, I like your paper, nice!"
(Maybe it's just me, but I thought resume paper was made for...)

10. There is a company website or a job description that doesn't clearly state what the position is. Keywords can be tricky.


These are just a few thoughts. You'd be amazed at how desperate some of these employers are, to hire fresh, naive recent-grad.
