Applying for a new job and going through an interview is like a first date.
Recognizing red flags from an employer in the interview process can save you and them a lot of time.
Understanding what you want and need out of a job and from a boss is essential.
Consider writing these things down before even going into the interview.
Ask yourself what your non-negotiables are and how your ideal company would look.
What are the character traits you associate with a good leader?
How much freedom do you want and need in a workday?
A red flag to you may not be a red flag to someone else.
Oftentimes, it depends on your personal values.
Look at the company’s website and read reviews from former employees.
You may even think of follow-up questions to ask.
Ultimately, a job offer is a two-way street, and accepting it should feel right to you.
