Interviews are a two way street and you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.
Should you ever have a truly terrible experience in interview, first tell them that you are going to have to call a halt so as to not waste any more time.
Then inform them that you are very sorry, but unfortunately they have managed to fail the interview process and should the chance to employ you come around again, could they please not reapply.
Then walk away.
I have only done this once, while being told about the extra unpaid hours I would have to put in because of 'culture'.
It was more than worth it though, as I got to see a shade of maroon that I was previously unaware was even within the gamut of normal human skin tones.
- ikromin 8y agoPerfect!
- starbeast 8y agoI tend to take the view that I employ employers to find me interesting or useful stuff to do and to provide any structure and organisation required for said stuff. If they aren't doing it properly, I can fire them.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoThis is the view every should have - then there would be less of the sort of treatment that leaves people feeling like shit. This is why I love consulting. I get to interview who I’m going to work with and I’m the one who gets to decide if we are going to proceed. I’ve done the interview “firing” a few times and boy are they surprised to hear it.
