What are some red flag questions in an interview?
โDo you like to go out, drink and party?โ
Was asked that about a role I really wanted at the time, handling networking for nuclear power plants. Since I already knew the instant that question was asked I was not going to get the job, I replied, โWhat does that have to do with the role exactly?โ
โOh, we like to have fun after work. Just want to make sure youโre on board with all that. Weโre a tight-knit team here.โ
After a bit more back and forth, I said something like, โI donโt think this role is for me as my actual qualifications seem not to matter. Selecting people based on their capability of โpartyingโ for something with the importance of the monitoring network at nuclear power plants seems like a terrible idea.โ
Then I got up and left.
