10 Signs You Should Not Take That Job

High Staff Turnover• Most employees are new but the business is not• High staff turnover is always a worrying sign• Why does the company have such a difficult time

retaining good employees?

Management Bad Mouthing Employees

• The interviewer complains about their existing staff when they first meet you

• Already bad mouthing staff to a candidate who might turn into a part of the team, quickly flags up an authoritarian boss

Blurred Job Descriptions• Random catchwords & baffling phrases are never good they

may propose a company that does not have a clear idea how they want to utilize you

• You could be the target of filling several roles simultaneously

• The list of responsibilities will be huge & constantly increasing

• Additional tasks seem to have nothing to do with the primary job itself

Overselling The Job • Overselling a job means that it is usually too good to

be true • The job description is vague • They have not questioned if you have the relevant

experience

Job Position Vacant For Long• Do you keep seeing that same job advertised over

and over ? • Job position vacant for a long time probably means

something, something bad

No Mention of Long-Term Career Goals

• No discussion of a route for career progression? You can do better than a dead job

• The job duties are blurred or your interviewers cannot state what success in the role will look like

Vague Contract • The paperwork paints a different picture• You had agreed upon a certain salary, perks, start date

or a number of vacation days, but the contract or paperwork you received did not replicate what you discussed

• This could be a sign that you cannot rely on your employer to follow through on promises

Rushing You To Make A Decision• Employers rushing you to make a decision?• If u feel you are being desperately hurried or stressed in

any way to take the job, be cautious• There might be valid reasons the employer may want to

rush things along, but it might be a red flag that you could be walking into something unexpected

• In majority of cases desperation on the employer's part is a danger sign

Body Language of Employees• Look at the employees you pass by & check their

expressions & body language• Do they look like they really want to be there? That could

be you if you take the job• Employees seem unhappy, tired or bored• How do employees act around the boss when he speaks? If

they are looking at the floor & behave like they do not want to be there, then it either says he is dictatorial or an embarrassment of an leader

Employer Demands Money

• Your potential employer requires money from you to begin working here

• This could be a clear indication that the company is already on the ropes
