If I'm reviewing a CV I'm not going to ding someone for leaving a job a few months in, but I am going to be asking some carefully worded questions about why you left to work out whether you left of your own accord, or you were asked to leave before the probation period ended and the company were stuck with you on a three month notice period. (Its possible the US market is different in this regard, where as far as I'm aware everyone is on 2 week notice periods all the time)
- throwaway6532 5y agoI'm in the process of leaving a company after 6 months at the moment and I know I'm going to probably get this question forever now, but end of the day I have my reasons, and I think they're valid and will likely be judged as such. I think going in to any other job I'm equally as motivated as any interviewer to not have it happen again given how painful an experience this has been. In my case I wouldn't necessarily say it was bait and switch, but I wasn't made aware of something that would have led me to turn down the offer had I known about it beforehand as I knew it wouldn't be a good fit, but I also didn't think to ask because I was making assumptions based on all my pre-covid experiences. I guess I learned a lesson there.
