This document outlines 10 signs that a job may not be a good fit: 1) High staff turnover could indicate problems retaining good employees or issues with management. 2) Management bad-mouthing existing employees during an interview is an unprofessional red flag. 3) Blurred or vague job descriptions may mean the company lacks clear expectations or plans to overload the new employee with many roles. 4) Overselling a job suggests the description is misleading and the employer has not properly vetted the candidate's qualifications.

1. 10 Signs You Should Not Take That Job

2. High Staff Turnover
• Most employees are new but the business is not
• High staff turnover is always a worrying sign
• Why does the company have such a difficult time retaining
good employees?

3. Management Bad Mouthing Employees
• The interviewer complains about their existing staff when they
first meet you
• Already bad mouthing staff to a candidate who might turn into
a part of the team, quickly flags up an authoritarian boss

4. Blurred Job Descriptions
• Random catchwords & baffling phrases are never good they may
propose a company that does not have a clear idea how they want
to utilize you
• You could be the target of filling several roles simultaneously
• The list of responsibilities will be huge & constantly increasing
• Additional tasks seem to have nothing to do with the primary job
itself

5. Overselling The Job
• Overselling a job means that it is usually too good to be true
• The job description is vague
• They have not questioned if you have the relevant
experience

6. Job Position Vacant For Long
• Do you keep seeing that same job advertised over and over ?
• Job position vacant for a long time probably means
something, something bad

7. No Mention of Long-Term Career Goals
• No discussion of a route for career progression? You can do
better than a dead job
• The job duties are blurred or your interviewers cannot state
what success in the role will look like

8. Vague Contract
• The paperwork paints a different picture
• You had agreed upon a certain salary, perks, start date or a
number of vacation days, but the contract or paperwork you
received did not replicate what you discussed
• This could be a sign that you cannot rely on your employer to
follow through on promises

9. Rushing You To Make A Decision
• Employers rushing you to make a decision?
• If u feel you are being desperately hurried or stressed in any way to
take the job, be cautious
• There might be valid reasons the employer may want to rush things
along, but it might be a red flag that you could be walking into
something unexpected
• In majority of cases desperation on the employer's part is a danger
sign

10. Body Language of Employees
• Look at the employees you pass by & check their expressions &
body language
• Do they look like they really want to be there? That could be you if
you take the job
• Employees seem unhappy, tired or bored
• How do employees act around the boss when he speaks? If they are
looking at the floor & behave like they do not want to be there, then
it either says he is dictatorial or an embarrassment of an leader

11. Employer Demands Money
• Your potential employer requires money from you to begin
working here
• This could be a clear indication that the company is already
on the ropes
