“Red Flags” – Warning Signs to Watch-Out For in Job Search
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
In all my years of experience in the career services field, I have coached thousands of job seekers through their searches and career transitions. I have also worked as an executive recruiter, filling positions for corporate clients.
I have seen the hiring process from the perspectives of both parties, and on both sides I have observed many “red flags” or warning signs during the hiring process. These are like “red lights” saying “STOP,” or at least “yellow lights” indicating that it would be wise to slow-down.
When a job opening is about to be filled, sometimes these “red flags” emerge through a detailed analysis of “pros and cons.” Other times, “red flags” are experienced as a “gut reaction” or strong intuition. In either case, it is important to pay close attention to these warning signs because they usually turn-out to be accurate for candidates as well as employers.

Career-Coach-on-CallSM
“Urgent Care” For Your Career
Do you have the occasional need for career guidance, but not enough to justify engaging in a complete career coaching program? Would you like quick access to a leading career expert, and only pay for as much coaching as you need?
Then we have the perfect solution for you. Career-Coach-on-Call is a new service offering from Career Potential, LLC.
Until now, Career Potential, LLC only accepted “full program clients” and offered no “coaching by the hour.” Career-Coach-on-Call makes professional career coaching more flexible and accessible on a short-term basis, without the big commitment.
