It's Linda Reiter of Linda Reiter dot com, career strategist, speaker and coach.

And in this video, I'm going to talk about five red flags that you should look out for.

That will help you to assess whether you should take a job offer with the company you just interviewed at, because the last thing we want is for you to take a job offer that you're unhappy with, and with a company that you're not happy with and that will make you want to leave after a couple of months.

Red flag number one They've had multiple people turn over in that job in a short period of time, so this one's fairly obvious.

If a job has had a lot of people feel that rule one after the next in a short period of time, it basically means that it may not be the best job because either one people are quitting because the environment isn't great or the work is just too much or too people are getting fired every time they join, so you wanna figure out based on what you can look at through linked in how long?

The most recent person that's in that role has held that position for.

So basically, you would look to see in that company for that particular job title who that person is, how long they've held that job for whether it's been the last six months for the last six years.

And then, if you can try to ask the recruiter for some inside information, Well, why is that person leaving?

Why is this rule empty or needing to be filled?

Once you can gauge that information, it will help you to determine whether there is a high turnover rate for this job and help you to assess whether you really want to take on the position.

Red Flag number two You just have a feeling your gut is your best friend when it comes to helping you to make decisions.

And the way to know that is by assessing how you feel.

If you just don't feel excited.

If you just don't have this burning desire to take this position, then listen to that and trust that because maybe it's something inside of you that's telling you this isn't the right position to take on red flag number three.

The hard managers don't seem excited when talking to you about the job and about working there any time that an interviewer lacks enthusiasm and really just kind of has a bit event, aloof feel or vibe about them when you ask them about the job and you ask them about the company, that's a red flag that's telling you that perhaps they're not all that excited to be there, either.

And that can indicate whether you're gonna be excited about working there.

So you really want to gauge and make sure that you can read the body language of the interviewers that you're meeting, because that will give you a sense in a feel of what the energy is like in this environment in this company and whether this is gonna be a match for you.

Red Flag number four The company is not doing well financially.

Sometimes it's hard to determine what the financial status of a company really is, especially if they're privately owned and you can't find any public financial statements about them.

But, of course, as part of your own due diligence and being a good job candidate, you need to do research and figure out where this company is heading It's one of two directions up or down.

And if you can figure that out, even that piece of it, whether the company is stable, they're in their growing or whether they're in a shrinking markets.

And they're facing some fierce competition due to new technology.

For example, then that will help you to steer you in the right direction as to whether to accept a job offer with that position with that company or not.

And finally, red Flag number five overly enthusiastic HR employees that don't know how to take no for an answer.

So this one's a bit trickier, because when there's the situation where in HR employee is super enthusiastic about taking you on as an employee, it could be an indication of two things.

Two very extreme things.

The first could be that perhaps they know that nobody actually wants to take this job where that they've had a lot of rejections of job offers in the past and they see that you're an amazing candidate and they want to snatch you up before you have the chance to say no.

And that's why they're being enthusiastic.

Or it could be an indication that it's just they really like you and that they really want to take you on and has nothing to do with anybody not wanting the job.

It's just simply that your great candidate and they really like you.

So you want to be cognizant of that and pay attention and do the rest of the due diligence, as indicated from red flags, Number 124 And make sure that there are no factors that may lead you to think that this position is something that people don't actually want to take on.

Once you can figure that out, then that will help you to make that decision.
