I had a job interview and the guy who interviewed me seemed okay. But now he keeps messaging me and asking me out. Do you think I should go along with it to help get the job or just forget it? The company hasn’t replied yet anyway.

    I hope you are kidding. Go along with harassment before you even get a foot in the door? Why would you even want to work somewhere that a potential... boss is already harassing you? Keep looking for another job and I would report him to his supervisor.  more

  • Will it get your promoted is the real question

  • Trust your inner voice.You know this is inappropriate so no.

  • At one point, this used to be a custom to go out to dinner to land a job. Have y'all never conducted business over dinner? It's not rocket science to... establish boundaries & expectations or just simply putting someone in their place. Y'all make everything so dramatic for no reason.  more

  • The question should be whether or not you actually are interested in the person; not whether they can get you the job. If you are dishonest about your... feelings to get you the job, you are the problem, not them. more

  • Sound like manipulation in a vulnerable situation and position. I’d suggest you stay away from that man and do not go out with him. Call the company... and ask for your results from your interview. If they take too long to respond move on. Find a different company to interview for. This will avoid a possible sexual harassment case in the future. You are smart and intelligent believe your skills qualify you for the position not a random date from a man whose harassing interviewees.  more

  • No i wouldnt

  • I would wait to go out with him until you hear about the job, only if you would’ve gone out with him if you met him organically. There’s power... dynamics at play and if you were to go out with him and get the job, I could see him leveraging that to be in a relationship with you. more

  • In all likelihood, he knows you're not getting the job.

  • What twanna said. Literally i was gonna type exactly that

  • Contact HR and let them know you are withdrawing from the interview process and tell them because of the interviewers unprofessional & inappropriate... behavior.  more

  • I'm sure when you ponder that proposition -- dating for (potential) job dollars, you'll realize it's not be foundation you wish to build your job and... career on.

    The guy should be reporting his non-professional conduct to HR. Assuming he doesn't, you may wish to consider it.

  • He wants sex for the job.

  • I agree with Twanna you ought to report him to HR. This is not acceptable and if the company allows this, not somewhere you ought to seek employment.

  • You should report him to Human Resources. No job is worth you submitting yourself for favors.

  • You should keep it professional. He is not being professional. When you get the job make sure you gather have all documentation texts just in case... you get fire, you can report him to HR. You can actually report him to HR and you may get the job.  more

  • I agree with other's above to steer clear of any personal interaction with him. If it's a job you really want , then do as others have stated and... contact HR directly to follow up. If you don't get the job absolutely report the behavior to HR right away. If you do get the job, get to know who is who in the office, establish your presence on the team and then quietly take the issue to HR. If, as someone else has suggested this person is going to be your boss, I would walk away and report it to HR. more

  • Absolutely not go out with him. If u are planning to work there. Its a red flag bec this guy will harass u

  • This is totally wrong and unprofessional. If you want to stop this behavior and keep going, I would say something like "excuse me while I turn off my... phone. This immature flirt keeps bugging me.". This is OK if it looks like the company is reputable and this guy happens to be immature and a misfit. Otherwise do not waste your time and move on.
    Good luck.
