A job interview is not just a one-way process … you want to make sure that you’re compatible with the company and the people you’ll be working for. In this article in the Wall Street Journal Online, Joann S. Lublin offers some tips for how to spot a potentially bad boss. After all, you don’t want to end up like one woman featured in the article, who quit two jobs in a row after only several months: “The toll on my self-confidence from these bad boss experiences was tremendous, and in retrospect, avoidable.”
