Updated 04/24/2017  Interviews should ONLY be conducted in: a) an office building with many people outside the room b) a public area such as a restaurant, hotel lobby, airport frequent travelers lounge, others NEVER take an interview in the following places: a) in a vehicle (car, van, limo, bus) - look for a Coffee Shop or other public area b) in a hotel guest room or suite - use the Lobby - avoid an unused Meeting Room with closed doors c) on a private boat or aircraft - look for a public restaurant, sandwich place or bar if necessary d) in any area that would prevent a quick exit or may prevent calls for help to be heard It is NOT DIFFICULT to find people looking for employment, create a fictional company seeking skills they have and inviting them to an interview where the invited person will be focused on the interview and not raising questions about the setting. It is NOT DIFFICULT for a legitimate company and Interviewer to be able to book, in advance, an appropriate meeting location for a legitimate interview. There are people who will attempt to take advantage of unemployed people for various personal motivations. Do not accept an invitation that does not look or feel right. Job candidates should be able to leave a meeting at any time if they feel uncomfortable or threatened. Do not be a victim. |
