| PDF said: It depends on a few things. Was there training and if so how long was it for and was it paid. It also depends on what the job is. Make sure you also give full notice before leaving. 6 months is my generic answer to make it look less flaky on the resume. I've interviewed over thousand individuals and this is all based off of personal reading of resumes and what i have learned from others at both work and couple classes I have taken. |
The fact that there was NO training whatsoever is what's pushing me to leave. No training, no guidance mostly, just "pick it up while I'll be stressing you from behind cuz we need this NOW". It's a shame because this job is a culmination of my years of college, something that could very well use everything I've learned in the past 6 years...but it's just not for me. Constant stress, constant push for knowledge that I couldn't have had previously and much more physical labor than was advertised. Also, everyone ever hired beforehand at this company has left on their own after a period, everyone citing the same thing: too much work, too few people, to stressful - I keep my ears open -.
I wanted to stay 6 months and then leave. But at the pace things are going currently...I just don't think I can make it that long, not without having a breakdown or two, and I'm not inclined to reach that point. I think I'll finish my 3 month evaluation period and then leave, other job or not. I have a bit of money stashed away and I'll be looking hard into other employment ASAP.
