What’s one red flag you’ve learned to spot in interviews or job listings?
What’s something you wish all job descriptions included but rarely do?
I’d like to know what amount of specialized training there is for the job once you’ve accepted it.
Expose the real scenario and expectation in the interview.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
It is better to know where to find the information then trying to retain all the information yourself. Basically you don’t have to know everything. You just need to know where to find it.
Get used to the idea you are going to fail along with the way to reaching success in your career - respect your failures and take all the actions of "what not do again" forward.
Have you ever changed careers completely? What inspired the shift?
More pay for less work

What’s the most unexpected way you’ve ever landed a job?
face to face with a lot of job seekers around
Once years ago I went to a print shop to get copies of my resume done, this was back before the Internet, when you had to submit a resume physically. Anyways, the print shop left a copy of my resume in the copy machine after my order was done. The owner of the shop came in about 30 minutes later and found my resume in it, and called me and offered me a delivery job there.

Use the internet to look them up
I use glassdoor, ziprecruiter, LinkedIn and other job sites. Many have company critique area's. Some you have to take with a grain of salt. If one or two critique's are negative, that is usually just a pissed former employee, but if all the critique's are negative, that is a red flag and you should run the other way. Also if you see the that repost the same jobs quite a bit, that is also a red flag. You have to ask yourself, " Why is there so much turnover of people in these positions??!! Lastly, if the ad or something in the ad sets off you spidey sense, then listen to your gut.
If you could create your dream job, what would it look like?
