Is it just me or is anyone else not feeling very welcome if they have a jobinterview but the person doing the interview isn’t smiling the tiniest bit even. Just dead seriousness.

Not just you

ehhh might be a red flag

I noticed when I had a toxic boss I ceased smiling
which was kinda strange cuz generally I look like a happy dog when I talk to people

I'm sure that didn't make the best of impressions later on with newer coworkers
I was just too stressed and not having fun by that point
had to anticipate what other bullshit she'd throw at me, so you can't ever relax and enjoy yourself otherwise you might be caught in a "gotcha"

I would feel uninterested in a job if the interviewer was dead serious

Unless the interviewer was an external recruiter I would try not to care - and wait until I met someone from the actual company

Got the rejection today. Wasn’t interested any way.

@bad-practice Probably a good thing. When you’re job hunting and you feel bad vibes from a company you sometimes wanna keep them around as option B but keep searching. That can be difficult though. Some companies are so urgent once they make a decision they will go ”you’re accepted! Let’s negotiate tomorrow” and then it becomes stressful to say ”I’m not sure”

If youre undecisive - that can stress you out for a few days
