I couldnt give a 2 wk notice. Felt pressured, by the $$ & my hubby. Should never ever have taken it! This woman is insulting, abusive(sometimes throws things)...demanding beyond human reason. I have never experienced anything like this (not even my abusive marriage!). I can quit...but the job market is bad (& she KNOWS it!). I feel like a mouse trapped in a maze. I have not been there 2 yrs & they have gone through 18+ employees (I have 6 I have had to train in my department alone!)

The key is setting up a lightning-fast interview where you get a chance to ask a few questions about the company’s practices and decide in advance if they’d be a bad place to work.

I agree with turning the tables on the interviewer and asking some questions of your own. One thing that worked well for me in the past was asking the interviewer to name what he/she likes and dislikes about working company. With the "dislikes", I was cautioned in advance about some potential problems. Nice piece. I agree with turning the tables on the interviewer and asking some questions of your own.
