The 10 most negative vibes companies give out at interviews

As an employer, recruiting staff is hard enough, but surely it would be easier to attain a higher success level, if you didn't give your job seeking interviewees bad vibes at the interview. Well I am afraid it is a very common occurrence with interviewing managers. I have certainly been on the end of interviews, where the person interviewing has decided to approach a 'warts and all' approach, almost being too honest with the situation at the company. But would I be interested if he told me that I would be working 75 hours a week, and be expected to be on call continuously? ...probably not!!  But it does appear that these examples are exactly what does happen at too many interviews

Here are the Top 10 negative messages from an IRS work survey given to job seekers by employers at interview:

1. Pressures of work  67%
2. Hours of work  52%
3. Amount of work  43%
4. Requirement to work overtime  38%
5. Shifts  33%
6. Emotional pressures  29%
7. Potential hostility/conflict involving customers/service users  29%
8. Pay  24%
9. Close supervision  19%
10. Physical exertion  19%

The interesting point to note is that pay issues only come in at no. 8!!  Maybe there is some credence after all with employees wanting a better quality of life!!
