Forums - General - Leaving a job

I was going to post a lot of information, but then you said contract period, and i noticed you were from Romania.

Don't know anything about Romania. Funny thing is, a LOT of this stuff is regional.

If this were the US i'd say to just make sure you don't get fired. As it turns out in the US, the long term unemployed almost all have been uniformly fired.

Even just quitting cause you didn't like the place and having gaps in your time isn't as bad as being fired.

There's a reason i have to lie about my employment history :/. It'll take a long time to get away from the shadow of my time at USIS, although serving for a longer period at my current position (and i'll have matched it by mid-November) will go a long way to proving i can hold down a job and that USIS was indeed just a fluke of a personnel dispute and not reflecting on my actual work habits.

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.



I was gonna ask of you had a 3 months eveluation period before you enter another longer contract... since you have one just stick to the 3 months and lie at the next job that they let you go because of the bad economy or that it was only a seasonal job...
