5.) Your Time and Experience Are Valuable
At any point that you are heeding the above suggestions, you may find yourself questioning if this position is even worth considering. There is nothing wrong with this, especially if you are conducting a search on limited time and multiple interviews. If you realize the job or company is not right for you, contact the interviewer and politely and appreciatively cancel. Be sure to cite your reason and mention what kind of position you would consider from them if it ever became available.
On the other hand, if you do get to the interview room, realize that not every position or company will be a good fit for you, or you for them. Be realistic and be ready to evaluate these things. Just as a potential employer has the right to pass on choosing you, you have the right to pass on an employer for something that is a better fit for you, your family and career.
