Expected to answer questions with the STAR method, yet the interviewer is cursing during the interview. Unprofessional! I could never get away with this… phew!

I personally don't mind others cursing even though I don't myself. That being said, it's highly unprofessional during an interview. Either that's the work culture and it's okay there, or that employee is somebody who's practically on their way out for whatever reason. Either way, not a good fit for you and I'd be wary of it myself.

If that is the first impression you have and also throwing other staff under the bus, Run!! You wouldn't want to work there.

True.

Please give us an example of this cursing.

Dropping a F bomb while describing people in the workplace. It’s unprofessional and I’m not sure how this has become acceptable.

Rest assure, I could never do it. But quite frankly, I don’t want to as I do not use curse words in my vocabulary.

Well, it sounds like they're definitely giving you insights into the workplace culture. Some workplaces are a lot more accepting of colorful language than others, and it sounds like it wouldn't be a good fit for you if it bothers you. It bothers me as well, and I would appreciate a heads-up sooner rather than later!

Yes! All truth.

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!
