• A job applicant felt like they were making good progress when applying for a new role, passing multiple interviews and assessments. This led to the hiring manager at this company demanding a final interview with them as soon as possible, something that they were initially eager to set up.

  This feeling changed when the manager scheduled the interview for a Tuesday afternoon, at a time when they would be working at their current job. They requested that it be rescheduled, but this interviewer seemed to take that as a sign that they did not want the role. They were left thinking that this was a red flag for this company.
