I know how a new job can get totally frustrating, I started a new job within 2 months I was ready to quit and walk out, but a friend told me to try to stick it out til the end of the year, that was in Oct 1999 I had t file for disability in Dec 2010, I was still at the same company but I proved that I could handle more than just that job, so they promoted me and I took my supervisor's position in Oct 2001. If you just stick it out for at least 1v year it'll look a lot better on your resume rather than just a few months, if you leave a gap in your work history the next employer will want to know why, you really don't want to admit that there was a job that you couldn't handle, and the longer you stay the better your references will be in turn you'll have an even better chance at getting the next job

You're just going to have to be honest.

"Bob, I appreciate the opportunity that you've given me but the job is not what I expected (give some details here). I am putting in my two weeks notice and my last day will be __________"

Don't feel bad. Companies have no problem with firing people for any or no reason and you have every right to leave a job you aren't happy with. Be careful, though, because depending on where you live a new job may not fall in your lap.

I need help! I work in a place that has less than 20 employees. I am the secretary--I handle all phone calls, walk in customers, accounts payable, receivable, payroll, etc. Everyone in the office depends on me for a lot of different things, and they tell me that I am the best secretary they have had. Problem is, I am not happy at all. This job is not what I was expecting at all. I have only worked here for 3 months, and really want to quit.

In my interview, they said that they only wanted to hire someone they knew would be here for 5 years at the least, and I told them that would be no problem. Now I feel like I have to work here for 5 years! I know my boss is going to be really mad at me, so I just don't know what to do; and it is extremely hard since this is such a small business, so it will be awkward!

Can someone give me some advice on how to go about this? I do not even know how to attempt to bring it up in a conversation? Any advice will be helpful, thanks!!
