Principal leaves a new hire hanging for 45 minutes, so the prospective Spanish teacher walks out of her interview: ‘You know what? I’m no longer interested'

She showed up 20 minutes early to be prepared for an interview, and he was over 45 minutes late with no apology, so with an hour to stew, this Spanish teacher realized the reality of a school's unorganized admin office… And she didn't like what she saw.

Looking for a job is a full-time job. 

After days, weeks, and sometimes months up to your neck in applications and resumes, prospective employees start to lose their patience with the job application process, often rueing the day that they ever chose to chase after a career. Although ultimately the rewards of scoring a job position you actually enjoy will pay off, finding that Goldilocks position is harder than it seems. Juggling pay negotiations, job expectations, and your actual qualifications can be a monstrous task that leaves interviewees run ragged. 

And even when the job seems too good to be true, interviewees need to keep their heads on straight and remain vigilant for red flags… Particularly, red flags from your future employer, a flustered workspace, and a naggingly late interview. 

A Spanish teacher was excited about this particular job listing until she realized the admin department disrespected her time and never valued her as a candidate. As a result, she decided to take matters into her own hands… even if that meant saving her dignity over groveling for a job in an environment that already seemed like a poor fit. 

If your future employer is waving red flags about your future workplace in your face, it's important that you heed their very obvious warning. No matter how desperate you are for employment, something better than this will certainly pop up on your Linkedin feed. Stay patient. Stay vigilant. And don't you dare settle for a boss who is happy to make you wait for over an hour to see them.
