I just started a new job a month ago, and it's not working out. The job is totally different from what was advertised, and I feel like I was misled during the interview process. I've already found some better job postings that I want to apply for, but I'm worried about applying so soon after starting a new role. Is it a mistake to put myself back on the job market so quickly? And if I do, should I include this new job on my resume?

If the new job is untenable then apply for others. If you only started a month ago there's no point in including it on your resume. If you go for interviews just say you're working at a job you took for the time being as you needed an income.

It is not a bad idea to do that at all. A lot of times your beginning can determine how the rest of the job will play out. Bad relationship with a team member? They likely won't become your friend any time soon. Out of touch boss who doesn't pay attention to your assessments? They aren't coming around. Toxic environment? Prepare to fight a battle. In today's job market, job hopping is very normal. If things go south later while you stay here you might start questioning why you didn't act sooner in hindsight

I have done a lot of hiring of experienced resources. Everyone is allowed one "mistake" on their resume - the job wasn't as advertised, it wasn't a good fit, that sort of thing. If you have always had stable employment and then you have one quick jump, companies will give you the benefit of the doubt. If that happens multiple times, we start thinking you are the problem. Don't sweat a single "mistake" on your resume - just be sure you stay in your next role for a good long time. Jump to something else if it really isn't as advertised. As to your resume, if the current job is a few weeks, I wouldn't mention it. If it is multiple months, then I would.

Not sure about the resume part but I'd say go for the other roles. What's the worst that can happen?

Not every job is going to be a good fit. Recruiters know that. I would just apply and probably leave it off I think a longer unemployment gap is better than a recruiter potentially thinking you're flaky because you're already leaving a new job.

This is it. OP. It wasn’t the right fit. Simple.

I recently accepted a position with a new org.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
