In job description when I see "ability to work well under pressure" that's a big red flag for me cos why would anyone want an employee to work under pressure? How can one be 100% productive under pressure?

For me, it was during an interview. I was interviewing for a role in the company before a panel of like 4 people. One of the persons was a little too aggressive with me. At some point, I went over time in answering a particular technical question, but quickly cut myself off once I realized it. That was towards the end of the interview. As we were saying our goodbyes, the aggressive lady made a very weird face and dropped off the call in the middle of my talking. Omo, it was at that point I realized this is not a place I want to work. At least this one person cannot even try to be professional in the discharge of their interview role and needed to bully a prospective employee. I knew right at that instant that I wasn't interested in the role anymore and wouldn't pursue it. Fortunately or unfortunately, they never reached out for a follow-up. Me sef, I was like, that's even better. Save me the stress. Months later, they sent me an email to say the role has opened up again and asked if I was interested in applying. I didn't even respond to their email. From the outside it looked like a nice place to work, but with my experience during that interview, it's not the place for me.

The first thing I always watch out for is other staff appearance. No matter how they try to push it, I will get it and that's it !

One man business . If you like yourself,no matter if that one man is a billionaire run!!

You are better off as a clerk In structured organization than a GM in a one man business.

There is a reason why one man businesses fail eventually.
No matter the salary run far from working for one man businesses

don’t generalize, I run a one man business, my staffs are happy working for me

I was once employed by a company. On the first day of work, I discovered that most of the staff were putting on worn-out clothes. The manager's shoes had open mouths. Some of the workers had spent years in the organization with nothing to show for it. Only the owner of the organization was making progress financially. I didn't show up the next day and that was the end.
All these observations in just a day, you wicked o

Most of you folks searching for a job don't know anything and like you folks generalised, how do you feel the HR department receiving a bad written application and the person searching for a job behaving lackadaisical too.

There are so many one man business doing very well and taking care of their members of staff.

I once went for an interview and we were told the interview was postponed coz the Gm wasnt around. I went for different stages of the interview but all those times, they kept us waiting for over 3hours before attending to us. Anytime l scroll by the job notice on this nairaland, l always swear for them.

I always check shoes too, shoes dont lie, if the shoes of many of the staffs are old and rough or they keep a pair of shoe or jacket that they wear everyday for work in the office.

Staff will always gossip about the boss. If the old staff are mostly abusing or complaining
