Yes, talk to men. It was a sex hotline job.

Yeah, it really threw me off. I was wondering if the FML was that her other job offers were blatantly sexist (or she was assuming they were), but she was using them to bluff this lower-paying job into giving a better offer.

Sex hotline? I thought this post was relative to sexism. YDI, op, for being a conceited ****.... Especially so when all you had to do was call horny men and get paid. Dumbass.

Or out of trouble ;) dive back in there op!

did you just...

Epic advise 10, I bet you're pretty high up on your companies corporate ladder.

We all know the ethics. What bothers me is that they can always tell you that they have other people to interview. Just as hypocritical, they can terminate you at any time while we're supposed to give a 2-weeks notice.

When I meet potential future employees, I always ask them if they've got any other job opportunities that they're actively trying to get at this moment, and I greatly appreciate an honest answer. I mean, let's be realistic, if you're looking for a job you're gonna try and contact several places, nothing wrong with that. When a potential employee mentions other places, and asks for (a reasonable amount of) time to see how things play out and make an informed decision, I take that as a sign they're honest and realistic people who are doing their damn best to find a job. So I'd say there's nothing wrong with mentioning other places in an interview, just don't be cocky about it.

You're right, I've haven't ever applied for a job and I would be scared to mention that I have another job interview since I don't want to mess up my chance of getting a job. It is best to tell the truth, I've even been told to say some of flaws you have during an interview but say that you will try your best. I think it might also depend on the person giving you the interview as well.

#26 are you in the states? cause I want you to be my interviewer if you are. Stuff like what OP posted happens far too often because of how our society views jobs and careers.

Not in the states no, so this might be a cultural thing. I do agree it's best not to bring up other interviews unless you're being asked about it, but in my experience this is the kind of thing that normally gets asked.

From an employer's perspective, they only want applicants that want the job. If you're shopping around and imply that you'll only take this job if other offers fall through, that can be annoying. Plus it makes the employer think that you'll only stay at this job until something better comes up, which hurts them in the long run. The employer is perfectly within their rights to offer the job to someone who really wants it- they'll probably make a better employee.

You can really want several jobs though. I've been myself in situations where I had to choose between several rather similar job offers that were all genuinely interesting. It's unrealistic to think someone has only one particular job they're interested in, that they only want to do in one particular place, and that your company happens to be that place. As an employer, you'll see different candidates and weigh the pros and cons to pick the person you think would be the best fit. It's reasonable to expect employees to do the same thing.
