Job Candidate Lured Into Lengthy Commute For Sham Pre-Screening, Withdraws Application

Have you ever felt like a company’s playing mind games during the interview process?

A Redditor on r/AntiWork made the commute for what they were told was an in-person interview. What they got was a pre-interview questionnaire and a half-hour wait, after which the hiring manager showed up to explain it wasn’t a real interview at all — just a “matching the face to the resume” check that lasted about three minutes.

They withdrew their application, and honestly, that was the correct read: any interview process that wastes your time before you’re hired is telling you how they’ll treat it after. Add it to the pile of job interview red flags.
