"Warning Signs: Identifying Stressful Jobs in Advance"
To spot red flags of a potentially stressful job before accepting it, it is important to do your own research. Make a list of your ideal work situations and parameters to guide your job search. Visit a company's LinkedIn page or website to gauge its values and culture, and consider reaching out to a current employee for an informational interview. During the job interview, ask questions about the company's values, culture, and day-to-day schedule. Look out for signs and red flags that indicate high stress or a misalignment with your values, and keep asking important questions throughout the process.
