In this week’s episode of the Get Hired with Doug Perry podcast, Doug discusses how to spot a bad boss at an interview.
Episode Highlights:
- Signs to watch for at interviews to help you sort out the good employer from the bad
Quotes:
“When you sense that an employer is being overly nice or friendly without cause or basis, it could be compensating for some kind of a nasty nature.”
“I had a boss that would interrupt conversations with employees constantly to take phone calls – it drove us crazy!”
“A good boss will always talk about the ‘we’ instead of the ‘I’, so watch for the humility.”
“If the boss feels they need to spotlight one person as being the all-star of the office, and everybody else kind of gets thrown by the wayside or forgotten, that’s a bad trait in a boss.”
“If your interviewer is bad-mouthing anybody in the office, it’s probably a red flag that you can expect more of it, and it could even be directed at you.”
“I’ve personally been in interviews where the boss acts like they would rather be somewhere else, or that they seem to be just going through the motions without really listening.”
“How is the staff reacting when around or referring to the boss?”
“When things seem a little bit off or weird, just raise a red flag…do some additional checking.”
