How do you know for sure that your prospective employer would keep their word during an interview?

My friend recently accepted a job specifically for mentorship and was willing to get underpaid for it. 6 months later, she told me that she received no mentorship and that she was overworked. Once she gave a 2 weeks notice the employer yelled at her.

I think she should have been more careful during initial interview and maybe had them sign a written contract.

What do you guys think?

Her offer came in paper, correct, she had to sign it correct? Maybe she should’ve asked that that be in with the offer but anybody who’s willing to yell at you, I don’t mean somebody raising their voice a bit and it feel like yelling, anybody who’s willing to do that does not need to be in any leadership position.

I totally agree that the yelling is inappropriate. She was considering filing a workplace harassment claim. The paper did not mention mentoring. I think thats where they got her. Thats good insight. She should ask to add that in the record so there is a paper trail.

You can never know "for sure" but if you get the details in writing you have legal legs to stand on.

I think thats the best approach. Get the full offer in writing. Have them mention mentorship in writing or walk away

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills. My experience the past 6yrs has been in smaller companies where my role was never just one thing but instead spread over multiple departments, so I’m struggling to narrow down how to convey the vast experience I do have.
