Full Time Life Sustaining Jobs Disappearing. Job Searchers Reduced To Begging Anymore.

25. I'm not talking about senior level six figure positions here, if you want in the door

you better not start asking about leadership style, unwritten rules, why there is so much turn over, etc.

Not only that, discussing "unwritten rules" is asking for trouble with compliance issues and make you look sleazy.

You'll never get the job at a majority of companies.

My advice assumes you have the skills. Lots of people have the skills now. Differentiation is being assessed at bullshit levels that test you for "team player" and compliance. EXACTLY like our school systems.

And here's the irony, when you get the job, after hours of testing and grueling interviews, presentations, etc, you will probably find out that place if filled with highly compliant "team players", and not one of them worth a damn when it comes to innovation, or solid problem solving.

When you get the offer in hand, then you can start asking about "unwritten rules", turnover, etc. Even then, I would advise tread lightly.

Do I think this is the way to build a good workforce? Of course not. But that's the "new" reality for the 99%. Just like the fact that benefits like insurance, matching 401k, real raises, and vacation are going away a little at a time, year over year.
