So today I did something I’ve NEVER done before. I literally got up and walked out of a job interview.

For context, I’ve been unemployed and actively searching for work. I was invited to interview for an administrative assistant position at a company that already had multiple concerning employee reviews online.

My husband read the reviews beforehand and immediately told me he didn’t like what he was seeing. But I decided to give the company a chance and form my own opinion.

My husband drove me there and waited outside.

When I arrived, I was brought into this HUGE, practically empty conference room. I’m talking rows of black leather chairs, bright fluorescent ceiling lights, red carpeting, a projector hanging from the ceiling, a giant conference table, and a TV mounted on the wall.

It looked like some kind of corporate training room from the early 2000s.

And I was sitting there COMPLETELY ALONE.

It was DEAD silent. Nobody talking, no background noise, nothing.…
