    I’ve never been in a position to make hiring decisions, and probably never will. If I ever am, though, an interviewee being interviewed with a parent would be a HUGE red flag (unless there was an obvious medical reason).

    If the parent was just there for moral support and stayed in the lobby, fine. Unusual, but fine.
