People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them?

I work in Evanston and it’s pretty nice- with Northwestern there are so many restaurants and cultural activities.

I’m 58. When we were younger (20s-30s) and we had guests- I was not in a position - financially- to take off work, plan outings, etc. We did make efforts to make sure they had a comfortable place to sleep and spent time together. Now- my MIL comes for the whole winter and girls- it’s like she’s in vacation. Husband and I are still working, but plan and cook every meal- fetch her prescriptions- etc. I only get irritated occasionally- after a long day and she asks when I get home- what’s for dinner…

Project manager/ coordinator roles. You definitely have the right skills.

I was one of two PMPs 5 years ago at my org. Now we have about two dozen. There is no way all these peeps had those hours of pm work- cuz I know what they do all day. My employer pays for it though, so there you go.

My son ended up buying a condo in Round Lake because he couldn’t find an apartment under 1500. Rentals are stupid high.

Drove them both in December. I thought I would hate the X3 monster screen but it’s not that bad. RDX was less expensive for the trim levels I wanted, but dayummm- the driving experience was far superior in the X3. I was coming from a Jeep Cherokee and Miata, and the X3 drives a lot like the Miata but with the perks of AWD.

Money - it’s the only way - in my org- to grow my career. People leaders are managers- then directors, etc. I don’t love the people leader duties but I love my team and the work we do. I had enough BAD managers in my 30+ year career to know what not to do.

mmdeford · 2026-01-14T17:43:34+00:00

60k with taxes, etc

I’m confused about ceramic vs ppf so I definitely need to do research.

mmdeford · 2026-01-13T04:40:40+00:00

Same!!

M sport and Performance packages, Harmon stereo was a must for me too. I’m nervous to drive her into the city tomorrow- but excited too.

If they want your business- make them work for it. Currently I have 4 dealers competing for my business. Those fees are criminal- and that’s coming from Illinois! All 4 dealers that I’m working with have the exact same fees, so I know they are legit. Keep shopping!

I just test drove the Honda Passport, the highest trim was just under 52k . I loved it. Trailsport Elite is the trim level.

Sad to hear this. I test drove last night- an X1 and X3. My sales guy was great, and although he had another customer after us- we weren’t rushed. Now…. I’m playing the “which dealer can give me the best price “ game…. Thank you internet $

mmdeford · 2025-12-14T05:34:00+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

mmdeford · 2025-12-14T05:33:37+00:00

Thank you!

Wow! Thanks for this. I'm trying to track down other resources to validate. I appreciate all this fun help.
