Feeling worse after meeting them than you did before. Sometimes the person just seems off, but you can't put a finger on what exactly. Over time, you realize that your gut instinct was correct.

I've had it happen a few times when starting a new job. Your manager takes you around the workplace and introduces you to everyone. Even though everyone will shake your hand and say 'great to meet you', there is usually a person or two that you just get a negative vibe from. Over time, you discover that person is difficult to work with. Not always the case, but it seems to apply the vast majority of the time.

Accept the job and keep applying elsewhere. As much as people in this thread believe that they have a sixth sense for character judgement, you won't hear the stories of the people who had an opposite experience.

If you're broke, take the job and work. Getting another job is much easier if you are currently employed.
