Cancel that interview! 🚫
Hey y’all, have you ever been in a situation where you applied for a job, got invited to an interview, and then realized it wasn’t what you signed up for? Well, that just happened to me and let me tell you, I dodged a bullet by cancelling that interview. Here’s why:
– The job description was misleading 🤔
– The interview process involved hours of mock calls 😬
– The role required taking 100+ calls a day with strict metrics 📞
If this sounds familiar, trust your gut and cancel that interview. Don’t waste your time on a job that doesn’t align with your values and career goals. Instead, here’s a possible solution:
– Research the company and position thoroughly before applying
– Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to say no to opportunities that don’t feel right
Remember, you deserve a job that values your skills and respects your time. Cancel that interview and keep searching for the right fit! 🌟 #CancelThatInterview
I absolutely love that you took the time to research rather than find out the hard way. Good on you!
I did the same thing with an interview. Found out through research that there was no base pay, 100% commission and that people had to fight for pay during training and many were jipped out of it. Training was 3 months long. No thank you
Good boundary setting with yourself to not settle for that type of job. They will continue to do it if people continue to interview. If everyone stops them they will need to change their ways. Thay type of job it’s hard to find the we employees they want anyways because of their strict metrics. Sounds like an awful job.
I hate misleading ass interviews and job descriptions like that. Like seriously, it’s a huge waste of someone’s time and who knows – this person could’ve canceled or chosen this interview over better ones just to find out it was a bunch horse hooey. Just be honest about the job you’re listing! Someone out there might take a bs job for supplemental money, but most anyone would rather choose what’s best for them and their mental/financial well-being long term.
I’ve been jumping through hoops for Kelley for a month now for a substitute teaching gig that pays $80 a day, not guaranteed. These companies are out of control. Good for you. (I have ulterior motives for the sub gig. I’m not an idiot 😂.)
I’ve done that. Researched more after I get an interview invite and cancel because of red flags or misleading information. I’ve also canceled because interviewers were super late or didn’t communicate that they were delayed. Why expect me to be on time for a job when they’ve already shown they can’t be on time?
I had a friend leave an interview that turned into a group interview for something way off base than the company was representing the position would be, and did so within ten minutes of it starting haha.
I mean, if you got the time go in and waste theirs
So 100 calls at six minutes each is ten hours of phone time. Yeah tell them to go screw.
Now, I would absolutely LOVE to do what the job entails instead of doing the HR song and dance. That said: misleading job descriptions are a huge nono!
I feel like I barely even make it through interviews. I haven’t had one in years where the person didn’t list a different pay AND responsibilities than what was listed and I don’t think they realize how close the average person is to becoming violent when they plan that.
Sounds like they should be paying you for the interview!
