How can the refusal be explained?
There are a great many reasons to refuse an offered vacancy, but each applicant, of course, has his own. The main thing is to present the information correctly in order to really look like a worthy employee and a decent person in the eyes of the future manager. To do this, you can use a number of tips that will be perceived positively by the organization’s management, and good and kind relations will be maintained.
Reasons for refusing a job after an interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=https:P9V2VTFyFe4
List of possible reasons:
- There is no opportunity to continue working beyond the established time for objective reasons. This will be perceived quite correctly by any employer.
- A low level of wages will also become the reason for the inability to find a job in a given organization, especially if another one offers higher wages.
- There are no prospects for advancement on the career ladder, and this also does not interest the applicant, because he has a special mindset for work, and he will not be able to stay in one place for a long time.
- It's simply not satisfactory. That is, possible business trips or working in three shifts will not allow the applicant to mind his own business.
- There are also cases when you didn’t like the workplace or your immediate supervisor. But it’s worth saying this in a civilized manner and not getting personal.
Regardless of the reason for the refusal, it is important to do it correctly. You can use the following tips:
- Insist on conversation. If the message is sent via electronic communication, then it is necessary to succinctly indicate the reason, while at the same time stating important thoughts.
- When talking, the main thing is to be open and not show negativity during the conversation.
- State the real reason for the refusal so as not to lie. This will serve as an accompanying argument for the employer in the future to correct the current situation.
- If you don’t like the functional responsibilities, then it’s worth explaining in detail what exactly they are.
The employer must know what reason led to your refusal; this is the only way he will be able to draw the right conclusions.

In what form can I report a refusal?
There are several types of situations in which you have to refuse an offer.
The refusal can be communicated in three ways - in person, in writing and by telephone. Let's figure out when and what will be preferable. It is important to consider the specifics of each type of failure.
Personal contact seems to always be the best option. But is it?
Of course, if you decide to refuse immediately after the interview, then it is better to do it verbally, looking the employer in the eyes. This option will not be amiss if you have already agreed to go to work. But if the reason for your refusal is that the distance from your home to your place of work is too long, then you should not go to the office to personally inform the employer about this.
Personal refusal is accepted better if you have managed to establish some kind of connection with the interviewer. In addition, if the vacancy is quite serious and the position is significant, then it is always better to report the refusal in person than by phone or letter.
Letter
A letter is preferable in the following cases:
- the position is not so serious that you need to go to the office for it;
- you were unable to establish contact with the interviewer, you are afraid of his ambiguous reaction, you are not sure that you can refuse in a personal meeting;
- you want to think carefully about the text and write a truly competent speech.
When writing a letter, make sure that the message reaches the employer, otherwise you risk violating business ethics.
Imagine this situation:
You sent a letter, thought it had reached the address, but after a while the employer contacts you himself to reprimand you for your absence on the first day of work, if you have already agreed to take the position.
Unpleasant situation, isn't it? And all because you made the wrong address, missed one letter, or sent a letter to the company’s old e-mail address.
Telephone
A large percentage of people use a telephone conversation when they need to refuse. However, there is a possibility that you will call at an inconvenient time for the employer. You cannot accurately predict whether a person is ready to accept you, how he will perceive refusal, or whether you will be tactful enough.
Therefore, when choosing the form of refusal, decide between written or personal. Focus on the significance of the position to which you have been called, as well as whether you can personally, looking the employer in the eye, explain the reasons for the refusal.
Important nuances when refusing
It is very simple to plan a sequence of actions and refuse a vacancy that does not suit you. Here it is important not to avoid meeting with the employer in order to inform him in a timely manner, because he hopes that he will cooperate with you.
How to refuse a job after an interview: tips
To refuse an employer's offer to occupy a given position, you can apply the following tips when meeting with him:
- Be sure to thank us for your time. Indeed, under such circumstances, the working time of company employees was undoubtedly spent studying personal information about applicants, and the candidates in question were selected from a huge number of people willing to get a job.
- You cannot make company management guess about refusing to work. For every organizational structure, it is best to know the real reason to continue searching for candidates. This will serve to more carefully select personnel for employment at this enterprise.
- The reason for the refusal must be described in detail, clearly and concisely, and it is important to be sincere. Since a lot of time was spent, it is necessary to indicate the reason.
- It takes no more than a few minutes to present your arguments. The main thing is to say everything simply, but at the same time pay attention to the main things.
- Of course, you need to remain polite during negotiations, because the employer hoped that you would work for him. It is important to explain everything in such a way that if the need arises, you would be accepted into this company at any time.
- A good relationship with the employer can help new employees join the company. It is possible that you will meet again and cooperate. To create strong connections, this option will come in handy.
- Diplomacy in communication helps to appear as a responsible employee to a potential employer.
If the conversation with the employer was constructive, then a good impression remains of the potential employee.
How to tactfully refuse an employer after an interview
In accordance with Article 35 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Employment of the Population in the Russian Federation” dated April 19, 1991 No. 1032-1, payment of unemployment benefits may be suspended for up to three months if two options for suitable work are refused during the period of unemployment. The concepts of suitable and unsuitable work are given in Article 4 of this law. Check it out.
Article 4. Suitable and unsuitable work
1. Such work is considered suitable, including work of a temporary nature, which corresponds to the professional suitability of the employee, taking into account the level of his qualifications, the conditions of the last place of work (with the exception of paid public works), health status, and transport accessibility of the workplace.
2. The maximum distance of suitable work from the place of residence of the unemployed is determined by the employment service authorities, taking into account the development of the public transport network in the given area.
those looking for work for the first time (who have not previously worked) and who do not have qualifications; dismissed more than once within one year preceding the start of unemployment, for violation of labor discipline or other guilty actions provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation; those who have ceased individual entrepreneurial activity or left the members of a peasant (farm) enterprise in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation;
those who refused to undergo vocational training or receive additional vocational education after the end of the first period of unemployment benefits;
registered with the employment service for more than 18 months, as well as those who have not worked for more than three years;
who applied to the employment service after the end of seasonal work.
it is associated with a change of residence without the consent of the citizen;
working conditions do not comply with labor protection rules and regulations;
the proposed earnings are lower than the average earnings of a citizen calculated over the last three months at the last place of work. This provision does not apply to citizens whose average monthly earnings exceeded the subsistence minimum for the working population (hereinafter referred to as the subsistence minimum), calculated in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner.
Thus, your employment center determined the maximum distance of vacancies from your place of residence and offered them to you. All you have to do is ask the employment center to provide another job located close to your place of residence or appeal its decision in court.
Good luck. Sergey. My answer is your feedback.
The main goal of job seekers is to find a job that will suit them according to all criteria. Usually, employers choose, but the candidate also has to face the problem of choice. Rejection, accordingly, is one of the main parts of the job search process. Many applicants find it very difficult to refuse a job offer. This article will focus on how to easily reject an offer that does not suit you.
How to decide?
Personnel selection specialists spend a lot of effort and time searching and assessing them. If after the interview you realize that the proposed position and place of work is not for you, be the first to report this immediately. Employers always have a fallback option. That is why you must report the refusal and show your politeness.
The main thing is do not try to hide from the interviewers. If you think that not going to work and avoiding telephone conversations is the way out, then you are deeply mistaken, thereby exposing yourself. You need, even in case of refusal, to show your best side. After all, the business world is a very small place. There are no guarantees that you will not meet this interviewer again, but at another job, in another company, or he may turn out to be a close friend of your relatives.
Emotions. Forget about them. Because of shyness and remorse, you should not accept a job offer that will be a burden to you. However, before you refuse, think carefully. Weigh all the pros and cons of the proposed job. Reasons for refusal:
- insufficient salary for you
- inappropriate schedule
- territorial sign
- The content of the work
- receiving a more promising offer.
If you are not satisfied with the payment, then you can safely tell the employer about it, perhaps the conditions will be changed.
How to refuse?
First, your refusal must be gracious. It can be done either over the phone or in writing by sending it to the interviewer. Write down your reasons for refusal according to the following diagram:
- thank you for your interest in your candidacy
- you have positive emotions from contact with the company and its employees
- say that the decision was very difficult to make
- describe the reasons for your refusal
- Express your wishes to your interlocutor.
If you communicate your refusal verbally, be prepared to be encouraged to reconsider. Be patient and listen to the employer.
Dear AI
I express my gratitude to you for considering my candidacy. This type of work undoubtedly meets my expectations, but I have to refuse due to the fact that I was hoping for a greater amount of responsibility. I am grateful to you for the efforts you have devoted to my person.
This was not an easy decision to make as your company has left a very positive mark. Thanks a lot. I wish you success in your future personnel search.

Best regards, OO
Dear YaYa
Thank you for the opportunity to work for you. Unfortunately, I have to decline your offer as I am looking for a job with a higher salary.
It was a pleasure interviewing with you, thank you for your time.
Best regards, AA
Dear SS
Thank you very much for your offer to work for you as a retail chain manager. However, I accepted another offer that suits my goals and interests, so I have to refuse you, although the decision was not easy to make. I am very grateful for your time. given to me, thank you for your efforts!
Best wishes, MM
Just like job seekers, employers deserve to be treated well. If the employer himself was forced to refuse your candidacy, you would want to receive a polite refusal. You will leave a positive impression if you are honest and gracious in your refusal. I wish you success!
6. How to refuse an interview. It happens when you accept an invitation to an interview and agree to the meeting without getting to know the vacancy and the company in detail. Usually this happens right during a call from the HR manager. The interview has already been scheduled and then you realize that the vacancy is not interesting to you, or you have received a more attractive offer that you are not ready to refuse. In this case, you need to warn the employer that you will not come to the interview and cancel the appointment.
While looking for a job, you have a lot of interviews and try to get a job in several companies at once. And suddenly you received an offer or had an interview with a company where you don’t really want to work. Is this situation familiar? Let's find out how to refuse a job.
When searching for a job, don't feel like you have no choice. Remember that it is not only the employer who chooses you. You also have every right to choose the employer you like. And if for some reason you change your mind about joining the proposed company, do not remain silent about your decision, since working here will not bring you any pleasure.
You shouldn't be afraid to turn down a job offer. You will not offend anyone by your actions and they will quickly find a replacement for you.
Believe me, you are far from the only candidate who is suitable for this position. And if the decision has already been made, let's find out how to refuse an employer after an interview.
The worst option is to hide and turn off the phone, they say, they couldn’t get through, now let them look for another person. This behavior can be called childish. Don't wait for someone to call you, do it yourself. If you can’t muster up the courage, then send your employer an email. In the letter, briefly formulate your refusal and thank you for the time allocated to you.
And yet it is much preferable not to send a message, but to call yourself to tell about your decision. This will show you as a professional who has a mature approach to handling the situation. I would like employers to remember to call back after the interview and report the results, whatever they may be.
What should you say to the employer so that your refusal does not sound impolite? First, thank the employer for their time, say a few words about how you would like to work for this company because it impressed you, but unfortunately your plans have changed. There is no need to say anything about what influenced your decision.
After this short conversation, you can hang up and not worry about rejection. Your words were received adequately, and you showed your best side.
Special script
Allows you to collect information about the professional experience, knowledge and skills of the applicant.
In some cases, it may contain sample answers to questions, upon receipt of which the interview may end or additional or clarifying questions may be asked.
Below is a draft of a simple script consisting of questions for applicants for the position of “Store Manager”.
Chernova - because the optimal list of questions for a telephone interview has not yet been selected - asking many of the questions listed below is more appropriate during an in-person interview.
“Was there a large assortment of the store? How many product items? What product groups were they grouped into? Who and how determined what goods the store would sell.
How was the store's sales plan set? In terms of sales volume in general, sales plan for product groups or in some other way. Who made the decision to establish the plan. Could the manager influence the store's sales planning? What happened if the store did not fulfill or exceeded the plan. Why did they fulfill/not fulfill/exceed? Is a sales plan necessary at all?

Were instructions/standards used in the work of salespeople? Who developed them and how?

How to write a refusal letter after an interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytcopyrightru
Quite often, applicants for the desired vacancy refuse in writing the job offered to them. It is not forbidden to write a letter and send it via electronic means of communication.
A sample text could be as follows.
Dear Igor Ivanovich!
I am very pleased with our communication and the fact that they chose me for the position. But I also had other offers, and due to this circumstance, I chose a vacancy in another organization. Despite my choice, I was glad to meet you and communicate with you. I hope for further communication in our professional field.
Sincerely, Evseeva Ekaterina Andreevna
Date and signature
The large amount of work a recruiter does does not allow him to remember every candidate, but taking into account modern technology, this is no longer required.
How to answer the phone?
Often, a job seeker hears an invitation to a meeting from an employer over the phone. In this case, you need to politely thank for the call and the attention shown, and answer the caller the truth about the possibility of coming at the designated time.
You should listen to what date and time the recruiter sets. If this time is not suitable, you should immediately talk about it and set a time that is more convenient for both parties. Postponing an interview is a normal occurrence; the employer will not be offended by the applicant’s honest answer that he can come on another day or at another time.
An example of a telephone conversation is presented below:
What not to do
Here's what you shouldn't talk about directly:
- about reluctance to work because of a bad employer/employees/company’s appearance;
- about low wages and misunderstanding of those who decided to work for such pennies.
Do not convey the refusal through people who are not concerned with this matter. It will be worse if the employer is informed about your unwillingness to work by his secretary, and not by you personally.
And even more so, don’t talk about the bad appearance of your employer, employees, low wages and terrible office among your friends and acquaintances. One of them may turn out to be a friend of the employer whose vacancy you had to refuse. Rash words will bring you unwanted fame, which, unfortunately, will close your doors to some companies, because the professional circle is quite small.
It is equally important in these circumstances to know what not to do in relation to the employer who theoretically hired you. Tips on this matter are as follows:
- It is not recommended to completely avoid communication with the employer, since you may have to contact him again and, moreover, he will need time to select another candidate.
- In no case should you not answer phone calls; it is better to be prepared so that you know how to communicate your decision.
Choosing a decision not to answer calls and not inform the administration of the enterprise in any way means that the candidate is short-sighted and can easily destroy good relationships. Such information about applicants is received by agencies and companies, and this adversely affects the search for work in the future. There is a low probability that other employers will pay attention to your candidacy.
We must not forget that employers exchange opinions about applicants.
What reasons can be given when refusing a vacancy?
Try to always tell the truth. The exception is your personal opinion about the personality of the employer and the company's employees, but about undesirable reasons - below.
When refusing a vacancy, you can safely indicate the following reasons:
- You have already managed to agree on another job while the interviewer was considering the feasibility of your candidacy. There is no need to add anything else - this is a good reason.
- You are not sure whether you can work in this position, given your limited experience, because not all the details were provided in the job description. You already got acquainted with them at the interview, and the conditions do not suit you.
- You are not satisfied with the financial offer. There is an opportunity here to increase your likely salary if you are willing to bargain.
- The working conditions are not suitable for you.
- You are considering another position with more comfortable conditions.
You can lie if the company turns out to be worse than you imagined, or if it offers illegal conditions.
Is an invitation really necessary?
An invitation to an interview is a kind of business card of the company.
Each organization is free to design it in its own way . There is no general canon for composition.
But, if the company that has opened the vacancy positions itself as a serious employer and makes high demands on applicants, then it itself must approach hiring issues very carefully and strictly observe business etiquette.
A potential employee's first impression of an employer is formed from communication with a recruiter. The correct form of invitation, unique text of the address, the entire communication process - every little detail is important in finding the ideal employee.
How to tactfully refuse an employer after an interview
It is important for you to smooth out negative aspects at this stage. In the future, it may turn out that you will have to come back for an interview with this company. Such grievances are not forgotten, especially if they concern someone’s personality. With thoughtless actions, you are digging a hole for yourself.
A detailed diagram with examples of how to refuse an employer after an interview, or before going to work for the first time, includes the following steps.

Dear YaYa
Best regards, AA
Dear SS
We advise you to tell the truth, or rather, that you have a few more interesting proposals and will think about it. Know your worth, but never burn any bridges behind you and say that you will stay in touch and you will make a final decision in a couple of weeks. But it is necessary to remember that the employer is also interested in an employee who will definitely come to work. Therefore, unless you are a very valuable specialist whom they dream of getting, they can very quickly find a replacement.
As you can see, everything is quite simple. You shouldn't be afraid of being yelled at. Even if the employer does not like your decision to refuse work, then this is no longer your problem. But you will leave behind only positive emotions, which in many cases is the decisive moment. The hour is uneven, and they may call you back again, but with a very tempting offer that is very difficult to refuse.
When looking for a job, every candidate is always faced with offers from employers that are not suitable for him or are simply not interesting. What to do in this situation and how to refuse a vacancy delicately and at the same time correctly in order to make a good impression on the employer? Let's start with the fact that it is always necessary to respond to an offer to consider vacancies.
Firstly, in order to provide feedback to the employer, because he may be interested in your candidacy and he is seriously ready to consider you for a vacant position.
Secondly, when you send a resume, you also hope to receive a response and, preferably, a positive one, therefore, following the rules, you must promptly give any response to a job offer or an invitation to an interview.
Let's figure out what to do in this situation if the vacancy for which you are invited for an interview does not suit you.
“Thank you very much for the offer, but, unfortunately, this vacancy does not quite suit me, this is not what I am looking for now, I hope that you will find a worthy candidate.”
A recruiter or company representative can clarify with you why the proposed vacancy does not suit you.
3. If the vacancy does not suit you for the reason that it assumes a level of income lower than the one you expect, you can answer that you are focusing on other, higher salary figures. Never say: “It doesn’t suit me, I want more” or “I want 100,000 rubles, but you are offering me only 70,000.”
In any situation, try to make a positive impression; perhaps sooner or later you will have to communicate with this employer.
4 . If you are not sure about the proposed vacancy and you have certain doubts about the company itself that is inviting you for an interview or about the tasks that will confront you as a specialist, ask a company representative to send you a detailed description of the vacancy by email.
“Good afternoon (last and first name). Thank you for your detailed description of the vacancy and your attention to my candidacy. I have carefully studied the position profile, unfortunately, I am not ready to consider your offer at the moment (you can briefly describe the reasons for the refusal: location, working conditions, scope of the company).
6. How to refuse an interview. It happens when you accept an invitation to an interview and agree to the meeting without getting to know the vacancy and the company in detail. Usually this happens right during a call from the HR manager. The interview has already been scheduled and then you realize that the vacancy is not interesting to you, or you have received a more attractive offer that you are not ready to refuse.
You can call a company representative and refuse to meet in person. But, unfortunately, many applicants simply do not show up for an interview without notifying the recruiter. Therefore, if you cannot call, write a letter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=https:vw29kAe56Uo
“Good afternoon (name), we have an interview scheduled (hh.mm, time), unfortunately, I will not be able to come to the interview, as I have more interesting job offers. Thank you for your attention to my candidacy, I am sure that you will find a suitable candidate for the position (title). Have a good day".
You can, of course, write that you have already been given a job offer, but if this turns out to be untrue and the employer finds out about it after seeing your resume on job search sites, the situation will not be very pleasant.
Refuse the interview so that even if you refuse, a favorable impression remains of you and, if you are a really good candidate, the employer will invite you again and will return to review your resume and contact you with a more attractive offer. Remember to be polite and attentive.
In the labor market, you evaluate the employer and choose not only you, but also the employer evaluates you. When there is a shortage of candidates and specific vacancies in narrow areas, this is especially true. Remember, too. that sometimes recruitment agencies and some employers in related fields exchange information about candidates. If you show yourself not very well, this may, in some cases, affect your future job search.
We wish you successful interviews!
How to decide?
How to refuse?
Have you been offered a vacancy that you are not interested in, and you need to refuse the employer, but you feel embarrassed? This article will help you deal with these feelings and gain confidence. You'll learn how to cancel an interview via email, phone, or immediately after the interview. This knowledge will help you quickly and tactfully refuse the employer, and then turn your attention to searching for a new vacancy.
If you have been given time to think and are now waiting for a decision, then give your answer in the form and within the time frame that you initially agreed on with the recruiter. At the same time, follow the same principles - show respect to the interviewer, do not ingratiate yourself, speak calmly and confidently. You have already made a decision, the most important thing is behind you, now all that remains is to finish it.
To correctly refuse an employer, formulate the reason for the refusal. Most likely, the recruiter will ask about it himself, or point it out yourself.
Don't make up a reason, tell it like it is.
If you are a valuable candidate and the employer can address the reasons why you are not interested in the position, then perhaps they will make you a more interesting offer and you will accept. At the same time, carefully analyze the situation again, do not give in to manipulation, and remember your goals.
Also, in a conversation with a recruiter, you may find out that you did not understand him correctly or that everything was not explained to you. Clarify the points, maybe they will turn out to be significant, and you will change your decision. Or, on the contrary, make sure once again that your refusal is the right decision.
It is possible that they will answer you in a dissatisfied voice that “you have let everyone down and betrayed you.” They placed a bet on you, and now the recruiter will not receive his bonus for a closed vacancy; he will have to work a lot again. Therefore, forgive him for his dissatisfaction and be understanding.
In this case, there is a chance that you will be thanked for your frank and complete answer. After all, your information can help the recruiter. For example, he will be able to convince the employer to change the selection criteria or add bonuses, or he will understand how to more competently negotiate with this level of candidates. That is, with an honest and complete answer, you make the interviewer’s job easier. This thought helps many people overcome the awkwardness at the moment of refusal.
In any case, always be polite and thank the interlocutor at the end of the conversation and wish him good luck. And who knows, maybe next time he will offer you a job that you cannot refuse.
How to respond to an invitation to an interview - preparing for the answer
When an employer sends a person an invitation for an interview, many of its recipients tend to believe that this already means one hundred percent employment and become overconfident, which can ultimately lead to both disappointment and, what is much worse, to the loss of a critical eye and falling into the hands of scammers . Therefore, when receiving an invitation for an interview, you should immediately pay attention to some details:
- If the invitation was received by email, the text of the invitation must contain the name of the company, its address, vacant position and other contact information. All of them need to be checked - and if there are any significant discrepancies with the information in official sources, you should not answer it in principle. Moreover, if you find such discrepancies, you should not follow the links in the letter - they can lead to a leak of personal data.
- When receiving an invitation by phone, you should also check all the information provided by the company employee in a similar way, as well as the phone number itself from which the call was made. Some companies may use the number hiding service, as well as scammers - therefore, when receiving such a call, it is better to call back the HR department of the company where employment was planned.
- If the invitation comes from a company to which you definitely did not submit a resume, you should be even more careful in checking all the above details.
Sometimes HR staff may make mistakes when sending out interview invitations and making calls. Therefore, you should avoid wasting time and clarify the specific vacancy.[/attention]
Opt-out by email
If you are a professional in your field, then competitors and active headhunters are likely to know about you. So don't be surprised when you receive an invitation to an interview from another employer. Whether you consider it or not is your choice. But if you are not planning to change jobs at the moment, it would be a good idea to respond to the letter. Also, the answer to such a letter will prove your loyalty - a test of a real employer, then you will successfully pass it.
Your response should be neutral, business-like and not imply further correspondence.

Storytelling, or Company Stories as
“Thank you, (name), for your interest in my professional experience and for the opportunity. I am not currently considering job offers. Sincerely, (name)."
Please note that any reason why you do not consider the offer that you indicate in the letter is a reason to continue negotiations with you and offer you better conditions. Therefore, if you are not planning negotiations, do not go into details.
Read on the topic in the electronic magazine:
- How to refuse to conclude an employment contract: 7 ready-made formulations
- Vacation followed by dismissal: rules, exceptions, controversial situations
Should I give an answer right away?
So, you have received an invitation (we talked about the rules for drawing it up in a separate article).
Most likely, since we live in the era of modern technology, an invitation will be sent to you by email, through social networks or special job search services. Therefore, the first question that arises is how to respond to an invitation to an interview via email?
Since you must be perfect in absolutely everything in front of a potential employer, you should know how long to wait before answering in order to make the most pleasant impression of yourself.
Or maybe you need to answer as quickly as possible?
No, you should wait at least a day or half a day after reading this message. This way you will show the specialist from the HR department that you are not an ordinary person without a job and prospects who grabs any opportunity, but a serious young man who may even be busy.
That is, if you read the invitation letter at the beginning of the day, then respond only in the evening, and if you received an answer at the end of the day, postpone the answer until the morning of the next day. This will not only demonstrate that you are serious, but will also give you some time to think about whether you need this place.
Even this half a day that you have left will greatly help you think about the vacancy, because most likely, if the position is responsible and profitable, you will go over in your head dozens of times the conditions provided by the employer with your ideas about the ideal place to work.
And if there are two or more proposals, then you will spend almost the entire time allotted for thinking comparing them even more, because ideal jobs do not exist and all of them, one way or another, have certain disadvantages, among which you will need to choose the least disgusting one .
Try to find as many reviews and general information about the company as possible to not only decide whether to go for an interview, but also to avoid getting into trouble during the interview.
