Job candidate denies job offer after they sit through an interview without being asked a single question by the hiring manager: ‘He told me to be quiet’

If you really need a job, can you actually afford saying 'no' to an opportunity that comes your way?

We always hear people talk about the job market in a way that makes you feel like there are zero open positions out there for people. We keep getting told to hold on to our jobs, no matter how bad they might be, just to get that monthly salary and be able to get by.

An interview that consisted of the boss reading the job candidate's resume in complete silence, refusing to talk to the candidate or ask them any questions. The boss then proceeded to tell the candidate they would be in touch, and that was it. The candidate did not utter a single word during this "interview".

When the workplace called to tell the job candidate that they want to move to the second interview stage, the candidate said, "Thanks, but no thanks." They knew this place was bad news, and they preferred staying on the job market for a while longer than risk starting a job for a boss they'll probabaly wouldn't be able to stand…
