'Please let me know': Interviewer awkwardly asks candidate for a job
There are plenty of great opportunities to reach out to your network and enquire about open positions—with friends, family, and former colleagues all being solid possible leads. You can volunteer, attend industry events, utilize contacts through shared interests—even turn to social media. Heck, just about the only person you shouldn't reach out to for a job is a candidate you're supposed to be interviewing.
It's bold, for sure, but bound to land poorly. The interviewee already has so much going on in their mind and is so on edge trying to give the best impression that they're not going to believe what they're hearing when you make your proposal. The only thing it's going to do is signal an immediate red flag about working at the organization—who would want to work somewhere where the hiring managers are begging for jobs elsewhere?
Still, this job-seeker reported having exactly this happen. Redditor u/clrlmiller shared their story on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit, telling the story of the biggest red flag they had ever seen. Keep reading to see some screen grabs of the Reddit thread below. For more, check out these four stories where candidates walked out of job interviews or declined jobs because of the interviewer's behavior.
