What would you consider to be red flags when interviewing that would make you turn down an offer? Does the current job market affect whether you would compromise on those red flags?

Listen, I’m going to level with you. I’ve gotten to the point where I no longer see red flags. I’m going to take whatever job is offered to me and be grateful for it for the moment. I’ve been without a job for 2 1/2 months and I can’t be picky.

There is a long list of red flags that would normally make me run away from a potentially toxic work environment. But right now, I would ignore all of them for a job 😆 Being unemployed is the most toxic thing at all.

Looking for some advice…I’ve been told that transitioning to L&D should be “easy“ given my experience and skills (résumé posted for reference - note that I adapt it per position). I have tried applying for specialist to Director positions but I’m not having much luck. Any suggestions on position type and level that I should be focused on. (I have executive level exp. and cannot afford to start an entry-level position.)

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
