I get catfished often.
Company X offers me a role where I have responsibilities Y and benefits Z. Promotions after a set number of time.
Times go by, still not doing Y, but intern level work. Benefits Z never appear. And that promotion? Sorry, someone needs to die or leave first, and then maybe we will hire a direct replacement.
Companies lie all the time in order to get a candidate to join.
- danpalmer 8y agoAre you “interviewing” the company well enough when you are looking for a job? They shouldn’t be lying, but you can often pick up on these things through red flags in answers they give to your questions.
- hinkley 8y agoMaybe it’s a local thing, but I find I rarely have time to interview the company anymore. For the most part they’ve a set agenda that takes up all the time. I miss the days when nobody knew how to interview. I had plenty of time to ask questions.
- organsnyder 8y agoAny good interview process will allow—even encourage—candidates to ask questions. I've found that most interviewers are very open to me turning things around and asking them something; and judging by the way interviewers tend to love talking about their companies, I think it's been to my advantage to do so. Yes, good interviewers often have a script; but a good script will provide time for questions and other free dialogue.
