What are some of your biggest interview red flags? I had an interview on Friday where everything seems great on paper but everything felt off while actually talking to them... I just can't put my finger on what it was that seemed wrong.

I’ve had that feeling before, and it’s usually worth paying attention to. For me, big red flags are vague answers, people talking around questions, or just a weird lack of enthusiasm from the team. Sometimes it’s nothing specific, just the overall vibe feeling off.

As an interviewee, when the interviewer states how many more interviewees or applicants they have to review. That let’s me know I have a slim chance of being considered.

I have an estranged relationship with my sister. I haven’t had a relationship with her in 13+ years, and haven’t even seen her in about 5 years. We had a really bad falling out and I never really carried for her as a person. But for some reason I feel an immense guilt for not wanting a relationship, simply because of this convoluted idea of family and sticking together no matter what. Anyone else have this issue? How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?
