I started a job last month that was a complete bait and switch (lied about my roll on the account, the staffing on the account, etc) and I’m miserable. I’m planning my exit strategy. How do I approach recruiters without seeming like a serial jumper?

How long were you at the previous job?

As long as this is a one-off, it should be easy to talk to. I had one job I was at for only 6 months, but the previous jobs I was at for multiple years, so it was clearly an anomaly.

This happened to me. I’ve told recruiters the truth so they know that if they try and pull the same thing I will leave. I won’t work with the previous recruiting agency again because of it.

One of my best friends growing up just passed away. We lost contact with each other a year or two after graduating high school and I recently came to learn he was was battling cancer the past 5 years and ultimately succumbed to the illness. He hid it well from everyone and led a very private life during it all. To make matters worse, he had just turned 25. Seeing pictures of the condition he was in towards the end of his fight broke my heart. I wish I had known so I could’ve been there for him.

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
