If You Hear This On A Job Interview, Run!

It is critically important for job-seekers to remember that when you go on a job interview, you’re checking them out as much as they are evaluating you. Simply put, there are jobs you don’t want to get. They’ll hurt your resume and trash your self-esteem, and no paycheck is worth that. Sad to say, there are people who will lie to you outright at a job interview.
Our client Melinda went on a job interview for a Marketing Coordinator job, her second job out of college. “It was the strangest interview ever,” she told us.
“Why?” we asked.

“The manager told me that I’d become Marketing Coordinator, the job I interviewed for, after I passed a probation period. He said the length of the probation period could vary from three months to one year. That sounded really odd, and then he said that during the probation period, I would be his administrative assistant and also do errands for him — like get his dry-cleaning.”
“What?” we asked her. “Doesn’t he have an assistant now?”
“No,” she said, “he told me that in his company, it’s really hard to get approval to hire someone. He was able to get approval to hire a Marketing Coordinator, rather than the personal assistant he wanted.”
“What a toad!” we said. “Run away from that guy, Melinda. He’s telling you right up front that he lied to his own colleagues. What incentive would he ever have to promote you to the actual job you applied for, the job opening that was approved? He wants someone to pick up his dry cleaning. You’d be stuck doing that forever. Leave that guy in the dust!”
