Before the start of the interview: a trick by which an employer can check you

Employers employ tricky tactics to thoroughly evaluate potential employees. During the interview, they may not only pose tricky questions or assign challenging tasks but also begin assessing the candidate even before they step into the interviewer's office.

To avoid jeopardizing your prospects, it's essential to always adhere to etiquette and maintain politeness. A story on the Reddit Life Pro Tips forum illustrates how one company endeavors to screen out impolite candidates right from the get-go.

In this case, a hiring manager adopted the guise of a receptionist to evaluate the ethical values of a job applicant.

The manager cordially greeted the candidate and attempted to initiate a conversation, but the applicant failed to establish eye contact or exhibit any interest in engaging with the receptionist.

Within a few minutes, the manager summoned the candidate back and conveyed that they didn't pass the interview due to their discourteous behavior towards the company's staff, emphasizing the value and worthiness of respect for every individual.

Such a tactic enables employers to avoid investing time in individuals who disregard etiquette and cannot treat others with politeness. Therefore, it's crucial always to demonstrate respect to individuals in any profession.
