Must be willing to act as personal therapist
I once had an interview with the owner of a small company. I thought it was going well, we were wrapping up and eventually getting to innocuous chit chat. But it didn’t stop. She just kept going.
Eventually she starts telling me about how disappointing her employees all are, how hard she works and no one appreciates her.
Then it starts getting personal, she starts telling me about her ex-husband, her current dating situation and how she resents her father. She starts crying. She finally excuses herself for a minute.
She returns, sees me out and calls me back two hours later. I didn’t answer. She left a voicemail offering me the job, and she was crying again. I never called back.
