Brigette wanted an opinion on this, went for an interview and it was weird the lady interviewing me she had not gone through my cv at all, she told me so. She asked me to tell her about myself then asked me how much is my salary expectations and wanted to hire me immediately because she liked my energy.Remember she had not read my cv and also there was no job description indicated on the job posts hence had to ask then another red flag during the interview, her staff walked in and she allowed it and started asking for a day off infront of me and she was declined, imagine in the middle of an interview.
@@loisehinga8873 Wow. I would have wanted to run out of there. They actually did you a favor by showing their toxic behavior instead of painting a rosy picture, only for you to find out after you came to work there.
Some jobs show these red flags quickly but in my last job, they were slowly revealed that at 2 years, I got out because everything was getting toxic. Now, I am at a job that appreciates me, pays well, and no micromanaging. It is possible
This gives me hope. I also left a toxic job even though it paid very well, but it was severely affecting my health. I have been without a job for almost six months and all the interviews show all these toxic red flags. So no Thank you!
Truth! Ones that eventually show themselves are so tricky! I am in that situation now. Had some intuition when I first started, but thought I’d I worked hard and kept my head down all would work out. But after seeing a manager cuss someone out, three leadership walkouts, and poor project management I see I need to leave. Been the most stressful 2 years of my life
It's sad that when you are polite to members of your work culture and perhaps say "your welcome" and was met with "If your fishing for a thank you, just know I don't work that way."
It's horrible and my recent company I was micromanaged so bad for so long that I quit. It was taking a serious toll on my mental health so I had to choose myself first.
I agree Donald! My last job I was told to stay in my lane all the time! I was banned from asking questions or questioning the lack of procedures and processes.
@@lisashaw6067 When I voiced my concerns about what is going on, they told me I’m still on probation and I’m not allow to voice my concerns or ask any questions.
If someone offers you an amzing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say yes then learn how to do it later. Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value of you, it’s time for a new start.
Thank you for this video. One red flag that has always held up for me is when the interviewer says that the work group is "like a family". I run as soon as I hear those words. I just left a toxic environment to set up my own practice and work for myself. Fingers crossed! I appreciate you.
I had that during an interview as well. When the interviewer said to me that work group is like a family. I’ve should’ve had seen the red flags sooner. And now I’m stuck at a toxic environment.
You're not alone. I had a great resume 6 months ago having worked at a company for 4 years, accepted a job offer for another bigger company since they offered a higher OTE, and ended up quitting 4 months later because of how toxic it turned out to be. Didn't have another job lined up (it was so bad, I had to get out ASAP). I've been unemployed for a little over 3 months now and have found it difficult to get any offers after making it to the final rounds. Every interview gets me closer to my dream opportunity. Got to have faith
Me too. I was abused and harassed in my last job enough that I should have filed a police report. Now setting foot inside a similar job environment is still unsettling to me. I know I will overcome it and will be suing the individual who did this to me.
I've experienced most of these situations in the workplace. Those "urgently hiring" ones you really have to watch for. Thanks again for confirming what I know to be true, and thanks for the encouragement!! 😊
Yes I agee on "urgent hiring one". I just recently turned off a 3rd interview for a potential start-up company. I did some more research for the 3rd research - turns out the employee churn was very high. Almost whole team had changed within 2 years. Also, no transparancy over estimated salaries (no estimations given at 3rd interview!). They had almost 2M$ venture capital funding, which made it even more weird. Another red flag was that very little revenue generated after several years with the product. If the company has a working product for many years, why revenue is not being generated? This is a huge, huge red flag, as it can indicate no real value preposition (all companies like to think their solution equivalent to cancer cure), but is their solution (product) REALLY benefitting the customer if it is generating almost no revenue? If it's a good product nonetheless, there could be another major issue with strategy of sales/marketing, which tells that the CEO/Founders/COs don't know their drill or the market fit is just not right. What saved me (dodged the bullet)? Intuition. If you feel even the slightest that something is off, do all you can to research all you can. You don't want to get baited on bad company and ultimately get burnt.
it saddens me to say that a new person is going to start at the place i resigned from recently - He was offered the job on the day of the interview - he clearly has not seen this video - this organisation is short staffed and BLOODY TOXIC
Thank you for the final comment about being jobless. It really is better for your health, integrity and well-being to be unemployed than to work for a disgusting toxic work environment. Glassdoor is definitely on your side here.
It may be sad but it's called being mature and doing what u need to do. Today's wokeism is toxic ....so most places have now become toxic as they become more 'tolerant'
I wish I had seen this some years ago. I found myself in a terrible position and whn I reflected on the interview I realized that I there were a lot of red flags. Good news is I have learned my lesson.
The rude and dismissive interviewer was my experience at my last job. I didn't get the promotion thank God but a month later a Top 5 employer interviewed me and they were fantastic! Great energy in the next interview and they called me the next day with a bomb Offer with multiple promotions! Honestly, I'm grateful for the rude interview...they blessed me and now I'm working in my dream job!
Great video! I left a job as their usual line was "we always did it this way" and they were never willing to change for the greater good. Definitely micromanaging and toxic environment too. You pointed out a lot of realistic truths.
Yes, that is so true. My very last full time job was just like this. They had us to write suggestions, goals and what would help the company to stand out... But any suggestions made were never heard. When I spoke from their few faithful vendors perspective, and I knew theirs were valid inputs, the manager just gave us deaf ears. But my group chat was chiming all the time, very controlling. Then some employees, who wanted to keep their job, turned having a narcissist attitude. It was a toxic environment. When I asked for support, i was burnt out, working almost 15 hours a day, they told me "you are just complaining". I was fired, the exit letter said "behavior issues". I laughed. The owner said "you are a great employee but not a good fit for our company". I sought professional counseling, took a break from job hunting, and let the universe to show me what it had for me. I am happy now working on my own, at the same time networking put me in places I thought it was impossible to reach in my career. I prayed God to send me jobs. He did it and still doing it.
@@violinogirl I’m going through the same exact thing. I’ve been at this job for over 6 months, and most of the times the teachers I’ve work with have the narcissists attitude. One of the teachers was forcing me to stay because she’s been at this job for 15 years. And she got upset at me because I’m going to put my week notice in December. And told me that cannot be too nice at this job and that I have to stay quiet and do my work. The teachers I’ve work with are very controlling, and will not support me whatsoever. And the teachers will have conversations among themselves. And act like I don’t even exist. The company fired the supervisor because of a child’s expensive coat.
I really needed this to video to confirm what I was seeing as a toxic, micromanaging work environment. I’ve since left this job and trusting the Lord for a better job. Bless you for sharing your wealth of experience.
I worked in a toxic organisation for 5 years.They are the worst but I won't give up Brigette.One day I'll be a boss and treat my employees how I wanted to be treated.
That is what I said Italy France. You got out earlier than I did. I was in my toxic work environment for several years. I finally started exploring careers, and now I am happy with the career path I am studying :-) I haven't landed a job yet, but I think I will eventually with new skills I am working on. With you on your last point about if you become a boss, you will treat your employees great!
I remember going for an interview and the HR lady was 45 minutes late. When she finally turned up she told me that the interview would have to be brief as she was short of time. I don't think she appreciated my response that it was not my fault.
I got one too. Went to an interview at global luxury handbag company corporate position to be told, the VP is too busy today. Ah, thank you for telling me person? I left shaking in anger. What a waste of two hours.
Got to speak to a hiring manager like this too. Was terse from the beginning of the interview until the end. Five minutes to the interview, wouldn't stop complaining about how the interview was running "late", and I'm sat there thinking, "Should.I just leave while you hire your referral, then?" The person who interviewed me before her was much nicer and more.professional. However, when I asked her what the best thing was about working in the company, she said, "I'm actually leaving in a month." With a hiring manager like that, I can see why you'd want to leave too.
I had one where she was completely a no show. I emailed her 10 minutes in and she got back to me hours later saying she forget to put it on her calendar and if we can reschedule. I agreed and once again.... she was late. She emailed me at the 5 minute mark saying she will be on and she's just finishing a call. After 15 minutes I got off and said I wasn't interested. She didn't reply back until an hour. Her lack of care for my time told me all I needed to know.
I went a company’s interview where a young future colleague came late for 20 min but the manager came on time. I think whenever ANYONE comes late to an external people involved meeting such as an interview, customer meeting or vendor meeting, they’re being extremely disrespectful. There’s no exception to the rule. Every time anyone comes late to any meeting involving people outside of an organization and especially an interview we should run the other way. I learned in a hard way. But I know now.
Attended 9 IVews and all failed, finally i manage to secure a job at my 10 Ivew. One of the largest O&G company in the world. I always believe dont give up and keep trying. Remember god has a better plan for us.
I have experienced the "too driven for the organization" recently. A manager with little vision and disregard for employees needs is simply a place to leave in your rear view mirror.
I had an interview that had a number of these red flags including being late (then wanting to cut it short because they were going to miss the bus), being dismissive, and then the red flag for me was them explaining that they were looking for someone who could convince the company to find their projects useful because people weren't really liking how the systems worked. It was such a bizarre interview that the director who interviewed me was fired 3 weeks later.
My job didn’t give me a lunch break until 4pm because the supervisor told me that she had a 1:30 meeting, and did not wanted to miss the meeting. And being dismissive, therefore I had to deal with 9 (2 year old children by myself). That can’t even defend themselves.
Great video. Unfortunately, many companies are paying low salaries, and pushing you to the edge, with an employee shortage, that makes you work during weekends too
Being jobless is the best thing that can happen to a person! I have opportunities that otherwise we would not had if I was fully employed full-time. I’ve had the opportunity to be and share more with my family, develop my skills by not practicing shallow learning but deep learning, and reassess my life and career towards growing both personally and professionally. It gave me the opportunity to move from a rat race to a more entrepreneurial path! It is all about our EQ; our attitude, patiences, faith, and resilience!
Also wanted to mention. I went on an interview and the manager said upfront there is Mandatory OT 10 hours weekly. So I attempted to negotiate my rate and they would not budge. Why pay overtime and not increase the starting rate. 🚩
For my first job interview that I had, the regional supervisor who was supposed to interview me was late even though I arrived on time. I let it slide and we met an hour or two later and I got the job, but I probably should have taken that as a bad sign. Another job that I applied for promised me a phone interview, and that they would call me. The day and time arrived, but no call. This time I didn't let it slide; I didn't want to even bother talking to them this time. I have no dating experience, but I see it kind of like dating now - if the employer doesn't want to commit to hiring you and stands you up, you shouldn't commit to them either.
In a recent interview they asked me if I had a girlfriend, am I married, where I live, and who am I living with. I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. I answered them anyway because I though it was the right thing to do during an interview . Thank you for your video, it's helpful eye-opener.
Wow Unbelievable! They were on a roll. It's good how you handled this. It showed you have high EI. Earl, stay focused and keep moving forward. You will get something better.
The interviewer ask me the same thing too too if I was married, has kids, and if I had a husband too. I told the interviewer that it’s none of your business what does that have to do about the interview
@@Shannete572 If you answer them that way, you’ll definitely not get the job. They’ll label you as “combative & uncooperative or defensive.” I understand it’s a very personal question 🙋🏽♀️ Perhaps, they asked because they’re trying to weed out single candidates who might have family emergencies or single candidates who might have affairs with each other while working. I don’t know 🤷🏾♀️
Spot on Bridgette. I recently just moved from a job where I was working as legal officer of one company but also managing the other subsidiaries for the same meager pay! It is three man department and I worked my so much, I started spending my personal funds for office duties. I quit two weeks ago and I am job hunting but it has to be a very good company that is not toxic and need valuable hands like me in their Legal department
@@BrigetteHyacinth I’m in the same exact boat when there is me and two other teachers in the classroom. As soon as I arrive to the classroom, they want me to do everything, especially the lead teacher. Like the teacher would text me sometimes and ask me to buy her food, and I would have to come out of my pocket to spend my personal funds on the teachers, especially the lead teacher. And the teacher would boss me around and tell me what to do. And I’m always burned out physically and mentally, I’ve been at this job for over 6 months, no room for growth or advancement. I’m leaving the job in December. I’m still job hunting at the same time. And I rather work in a company that is not toxic, and need to appreciate me for my hard work as a teacher.
Great video. However the no amount of money bit. You still need to have an income to pay bills. I do agree it's not worth staying in a toxic environment, to this end i would say update your CV then send out to companies who are hiring and in the mean time start learning new things and continue to self develop you will find something new in the end.
Brigette, thank you for sharing truth. I landed a remote job with one of the premiere Pharma companies. They lied 🤥 about every aspect of the role. Then fired me and told me I was incompetent. First time I had ever been told this. The truth was they hired me as a placeholder for headcount and the week their budget was approved released me. The lying hurt, what hurt most was the disregard toward me as a fellow human, experienced colleague, and outstanding employee. It has taken me 3 months to recover from this bushwhacking.
This is a way to embezzle resources; you were the bate with nuf other things. Do not worry about the lie - if a prospective employer can think logical, they'll solve the equation.
Wish I'd seen this before I started my last job. Also, use your gut. I ignored my instinct that it was a bad place and paid the price. But you can get out and not everywhere is bad. Thank you Brigette, your messages and tips helped me keep faith to get out of a toxic environment for a much better position without panicking and running to somewhere just as bad. Thank you.
Me too, I’ve wished I’d seen this video before starting this job that I’m at in May. I’ve should’ve went with my gut feeling, but I ignored all the signs because I needed a job so badly. And the place is so bad, the pay is horrible, and the people and the culture is so bad.
Funny you mention managers having different uniforms than employees. I'm a remote employee (sales engineer) and only noticed this during the recent trade shows. Management wear full suits, normal employees wear company polo's. Didn't think much about it at the time. Great video Brigette! Glad I found it on your linkedin :)
Brigette is right, on the first day I joined a company, when I was led to my place, I realise the chair was broken. I talked to the GM about the chair, and she told me, she will look into it. After a few days of inaction, I found myself a chair. There were other incidents too. I left after two years as the situation doesn't change and even when I didn't have any job. :(
Oh I worked for an organization where EVERYONE was related. Management also parked close the building while understaff had to park a block away and walk..even in the winter. They also made me feel like an outcast because of my previous employer and my supervisor is a narcissist who feels women have a certain place. Upper management played favorites. Even got suspended when I was threatened by a male staff. He was able to come in the next day. I was suspended with no pay and I did nothing wrong. I cried daily at my desk and hid how I felt. Left as soon as I could. Left for one bad place for another...everyone is unhappy and turnover is high. .they hired me for my expertise and won't allow me to do what I'm great at ....thanks for this vid. I needed this as I start my search for happiness again.
Thanks for sharing..Many times, I found recruiters behaving as "the boss" even in interviews. Since they are hiring, so they believe only they have right to question and assess candidates, but they forget that they are representing their organisations, and their behaviour reflects their organisation culture. They, generally, dont like to be put an awkward question, and reply negatively. Once an interviewer, literally shouted at me for replying wrong answer. I was actually shocked, he could have said that my reply wasn't correct, instead of frowning and shouting at me that I don't know certain thing and want to be hired and paid by them. I never went back to that org for interview again. Regarding wait time, once I waited for 4 hrs, only to be told by them that I have been purposefully kept at the end of the list to test my patience. It was a very reputed organisation, and I never expected such behaviour.
I really enjoyed this video and shared on LinkedIn. I recently was engaged with a company that literally had all 7 red flags. After the one interview, I got in my car and texted immediately that it would NOT be a place/company I would be pursuing, or dedicate any further consideration, for employment. I am glad you made this video, it empowers people that would otherwise waste time and hopefully bring awareness to employers. Excellent!
I was hired in November for a senior leadership role. The director painted a beautiful picture during the interview. There’s no parking, people can only take the train, the building is extremely old, we don’t even have a coffee machine or water to drink. They don’t sanitize the space, only take out the trash. Every single employee is unhappy they made it clear since the first day I started. During the interview I asked questions regarding work life balance and micromanagement and the leadership lied. There is absolutely no leave in the first 6 months, no sick vacation or personal time and if you get sick within that period, they simply don’t pay you. The only benefit we have is health care. Most of the reg flags you brought up, they have. No care for staff members or their advancement
Madam, both of us are speaking the same languages here!!! When you make suggestions for improvement - they ask; are you the director? The leaders in the company displayed horrible body languages when communicating to their low level support. It is just sick, I had to respond to a prospective employer - the interview would be a balance one if these personal questions were not asked. I list them and made suggestions on how to navigate the uncomfortable situation to make candidates feel more appreciation of their time to come to the interview.
I've been following you on LinkedIn, but just started watching your videos. I didn't realize you're Trini! ❤🇹🇹 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.
You nailed it Brigette Hyacinth. I worked for gov't and now retired, but one must have a list of red flag observations to pursue a dream job. Keeping one's eyes and ears open to the gist of the interview is key. Presently, I sit on boards to enhance those experiences. Left our homeland at preteen, but enjoy the warmth and exuberance of the people on visits.
I had an interview 2 weeks ago and it went really well. It was one of the best interviews I had and I got along well with the three interviewers and it seemed like a great cultural fit. They made me an offer the very next day (Thursday) and they wanted me to start immediately (the next Monday). Unfortunately, after reviewing the offer and some back and forth with the company, I had to decline. They called me back on Monday with another offer which I reviewed and was happy to accept. They sent me mock payslips as well as medical insurance options to choose from. After emailing the recruiter with my choices, I never heard from them again. Phone calls not being answered, my follow-up email not being responded to. I've basically been ghosted after the company showed so much enthusiasm and eagerness to hire me.
All of this. Every single point you made is perfect.. I've definitely worked at places like these because I need a job, and it turns out, they were an awful company to work for. Not sure where their arrogance comes from lol. So thankful I'm not there anymore.
I applied through a staffing agency in Jun 2021. Last week the hiring manager had computer issues and could not sign on to a video interview - I waited 15 minutes past the start time and NO SHOW. Never got a call or email saying so. This week I signed on for the video interview and again - NO SHOW! Again, no communication from the hiring manager about not showing up. I told the 3rd party recruiter to withdraw my application for the role. If the situation were reversed, they would say that they don't want anything to do with this candidate. I don't like the way I was treated and do not want to work for a company such as this, no matter how much I need a job.
The first thing I always do when I've started at an employer is to renovate the employee lunch rooms and bathrooms, followed by any other facilities. My view was that if you want to attain employee engagement, then you need to show that you respect them by giving them facilities that you yourself would want. The other thing was to renovate reception areas when funds were available. Basically to create an environment where we were presenting ourselves, "On show and ready to go."
Thank you for this amazing video, I am at a crossroads with my current job, and your last point rang true to me, step out on faith. Jobless is better than a toxic environment.
I once was in an interview where the interviewer started to work on his personal hygiene read flossing teeth. I thought I was being filmed for candid camera...
Great video! I once had a Supervisor refer to me as "a Diva" in a team meeting , in front of the whole team and other managers. Grrrr.. Also, I once had an interview with a manager of a very large company years ago and while she was reading my resume, she fell asleep. I am not lying! Thank goodness I didn't hear back from that one. :)
I've had every single one of these things happen to me, and (thankfully), I've cut the interview short, thanked them for their time, and ran outta there fast!!!
What an awesome breakdown. There are a lot people who find themselves in this position and it becomes quite difficult to break free due to circumstances and they end up just drowning in this environment. This is so demoralizing to your ambitions and potential, whatever you do, find a way to move on. It will benefit you long term.. Also great content!! You have yourself a new subscriber ;)
In my first 2 jobs with big companies, I was asked in each one if I planned to have children soon because they "don't want anybody pregnant here" . I should have noticed the red flags but I needed a job. Each were horrible work experiences which gravely affected my health. Thank you for this series, I'm learning so much.
Thanks for sharing this Brigette Hyacinth. I absolutely agree With your statements, I will always read about the company and see what is about. You don’t want to say yes to everything, because people will see through that you are desperate for the job. I will always tells my sis the same thing too that I understand you want to work but you don’t want to be desperate, you have to know your worth. If you want respect, you have to stand up for your rights don’t let people walk all over you. I just don’t want to settle for anything, and what stood me out was when you said that one of the ladies waited it two hours for the interview that’s insane, because I will get up and leave and tell them excuse me can I come in for another interview another day? Never want to be to desperate. I was at a interview in the summertime waiting to be interview, I came bright and early on time, the front desk security told me to wait. So I waited for someone to come get me, and nobody hasn’t showed up, remind me the interview was at 2:30 so I waited for the interview person to interview by, and it was going on 3:45. And nobody still haven’t interview me until 4:00, that shows signs of disrespect at all times, and your right @Brigette Hyacinth you don’t want to be to desperate. I shouldn’t had told them to reschedule me another day for the interview but I was to busy on being desperate for the job. It’s like what my neighbor said that me and my sister needs to sit still and be patient wait on gods time, don’t settle for anything. Red flags 🚩 right there too, that shows that the interviewer doesn’t care about the employees. I am learning not to take anything, because imagine how they’re going to treat me, and when a job tells you that we are like family, we are hiring on the spot, that shows signs right they’re. I rather be unemployed than to be dealing in a toxic place, it’s best to have a peace ✌️ of mind. I am not breaking my back for anyone, especially if it is a toxic environment. You want to feel comfortable at a workplace and not being stressed out, because a lot of these jobs should always understand that you have doctors appointments, your health is always your first priority. Oh yes, I would look on indeed everyday when they put the same job each day that shows RED FLAGS 🚩 right there. It’s best to be your own boss because you are taking control of your own company.
I had an interview where they refused to give me a street address. They just gave me a street name and said I would see the building. I Googled the street and saw that it was a fairly long street. I then cross checked the street with their company name and saw that there were two locations about a quarter of a mile away from each other. I picked the location that looked more "corporate", and was correct, but I did not like this "problem-solving test" and that I had to spend time doing all of this. When I got to the interview, there was no receptionist at the front desk. Maybe she was out sick. I didn't have to wait long, but I was still unsure I was in the right place. All this gave me red flag vibes.
What about at the end of the interview they ask if you have any questions,and you ask what is the salary like and their response is we will pay you based on your qualifications
I always feel it's important to give input on this question. I generally avoid this topic during the interview process when the role pays over $35k because there's using a industry standard range and they know your job history. If you have ALL their qualifications you should expected to be on the higher end of the range give or take your time in the industry. Once the process is over let them offer and you counter. You have a good idea what your minimum is and it's normal to ask for more. If they offer you less than what you feel is fair (within the industry standard range) then walk away because like Brigette kept bringing up, they're being cheap. They can't expect high performance and not pay for it. They're doing the same thing you're doing during the negotiation so don't think much of it. I once had a company offer $45k less than the industry median rate. Don't let it get to you. Think of it like you got away before the problem even started. Good luck!
Unfortunately in today's society a lot of companies are conducting zoom interviews and it's hard to observe some of the things that you pointed out. I was just in a zoom interview and they asked several times how I deal with conflict. In addition to how I felt about going the extra mile. For me that was a red flag!
Couldn’t have said some of these points any better. Good luck to all those looking for the right place for their mental health, dedication and prayers will get you through. Know your worth.
another one - when the internal organization doesn't reflect the external message that they promote and they hire inexperienced employees so the GM can bully them around.
Almost 90% of companies have at least one of these traits and it's unfortunate that most of us have to compromise for our daily bread and to pay the bills 💔
How about this story. It happened to me in 2006 in Houston TX. I was interviewing in person for an engineering role at a manufacturing company. I am an engineer. Here are some things that happened, and what I did. 1) I was interviewing with the factory manager, and he asked me to accompany him on his factory walk. He berated every supervisor he met, telling them how they screwed up. He used colorful language that I do not care to repeat...scatalogical language. 2) we returned to his office, and I was escorted to the HR office for an interview. While waiting, I heard the factory manager yelling at a number of people... including women. I was surprised he could get away in saying things he said... especially with women present. They were very uncouth, and that was putting it mildly. 3) when the HR manager sat down for his part of the interview, I was asked what I thought of the place so far. I asked, "May I have the ride to the airport? I am ending the interview. My choice.". They were of course shocked, as it barely started. I specifically told them why. I went back home to Chicago. I told the recruiter what I thought and why. 1 day later the factory manager in Houston, who would have been my supervisor if I chose to continue the interview, lost his job. I was one of 20 candidates who said the same thing.
I especially dislike when they make you do work that arent even in the job description but pay you peanuts. And on top of that micromanage you all the time. That is absolutely stressful.
I am so glad I decided to stop and watch this video. It definitely made me feel more at ease with my current situation. I look forward to watching more helpful tips from you.
All great points! My opinion as a leader for many years have made me come to one conclusion; coaching culture and proper training with recruiters on how identify REAL talent is absent in many, many companies!
Thank you so much for your video, Brigette. I have a video interview in 40 minutes and I'vee written down some of the questions you just mentioned and I'll make sure to ask them. You're amazing!
Great advice and thoughts Brigette! I have run into a few of the scenarios in interviews that you mentioned and when accepting jobs from these types of companies I ended up regretting it. My best position so far is my current one.. in that interview they were interested in my technical skills and all the questions centered on that... not my marriage or my kids... not even if I had a degree.. just on questions about getting the job done. The managers were so refreshing as well! Never once micro-managed me.. just made sure I was trained and asked for assignments to be completed on time. Love this environment, they treat me like a human being not just a machine part.
An excellent video detailing educational aspects of what to watch out for. I personally liked the uplifting message regarding to know [one's] worth. Thank you very much for this uplifting video. Cheers!
Great Video! Yes I had a job interview one time where they made me sit and wait around for them to call me back for a group interview. The appointment was for 2:30, they got around to talking to me around 45 mins later. I didn't complain until later on in the interview I asked what the position paid. One person said it wasn't polite to ask about compensation on the first interview. I pointed out it wasn't polite to make me wait 45 mins for the interview either. They looked dumbfounded, I thanked them for their time and just left.
Excellent video. I had an interviewer ask me what was my most traumatic event in life. Then when I had questions for them, they made a snarky comment about me having the nerve to ask them questions. LOL
Thank you, Brigette! It has been over 15 months since the pandemic and I don't want to make the same mistakes I have before. I wish I had known this before, but now I am better equipped! I WILL find that great job.
Well my wings are clipped, because for 10 years I have not been able to work in the profession I've studied for. But God granted me something better last year: I'm doing a new study, Computer Science. It's very expensive but it is payed by the government. There are a lot of job opportunities in this area because people with this degree, are hard to find in the country I'm born and living in. Plus, those kind of jobs are *high paid jobs 💜*
I have a whole Master's in Healthcare Administration and since last year I have been unemployed. I can't seem to find a healthcare job to save my life right now. I've been looking for months now and I'm like okay, maybe my interviewing sucks, but then I'm like no, I qualify for these jobs. I feel like HR is posting these jobs just to say they did it, but not hiring. It's crazy.
@@quenzettahester503 Could it be your resume or interviewing skills. Because you qualify and your skills sets don't align will not give you the edge. And also researching the companies etc to see where you fall short. There are always two in the interview. Revisit with a check list.
@@daphnegabriel6767 @Daphne Gabriel My resume is fine, by the way: I have my dream job now since October 2021. After a week I got promoted to a much higher position and now I am the supervisor of that department. I asked for a raise in November and I got in December. I have heard they are going to give me a permanent contract. So no, it wasn't about my resume or interviewing skills, because I could always find a job in my field. It started to change when jobs in that field were incredibly low and they still are.
My previous Manager was so intimidated from me that she got rid of me and told me that my permanant rile was only a contactual position... I was flying in my job and she couldn't handle it so she tried to intimidate me... narcissistic complex...
Thank you for this video! I feel better now after having to deal from a, rather, discouraging job interview I recently dealt with. Felt like my wings were chipped but it's okay, I will soar somewhere soon!
I was at a job that checked off almost every box you mentioned. They had called me back with an offer by the time I got home. It was an awful experience. I wish I would have seen this video beforehand. Thanks Brigette.
By the time you were mentioning the topics, I was matching to some professional experiences I've already experienced in my professional bio. Great examples...
Dear Brigette, You're outstanding! You're a great example of leadership. Leading with truth, honesty above all a lot of empathy. Keep helping, God bless you.
I worked for a place that had high turnover rate and serious micro managing. Yet, they seem to think the problem doesn't lie with them. It is mind boggling to me they think that way.
