If my new job simply doesn’t deliver what was promised in my interview, how do I mention this to a potential future employer in an interview?
Aka the role I was hired for was somehow taken over by a director who joined 4 weeks before me in a different role, and now doesn’t want to hand over. I was promised having a team, which I don’t have at the moment. This was the main reason I took the job.. 2 weeks into it so far but it doesn’t seem to get solved

Say that due to some restructuring that occurred between the hiring process and your start date, the responsibilities are no longer aligned with what you were looking for.

I would also mention the things that you have done to remedy the situation without success (escalating, talking to the recruiter, etc) so it doesn’t seem like you jumped ship without trying to talk to your current employer.

I would wait until someone brings it up. Focus primarily on what you are looking for, not why you want to leave.

Hey fishies! Been a GVP consultant for 3.5 years now, hard work, tough “in trouble” clients, and just haven’t had the chance to work with a team long term!
