Being a long time publicis employee, I have no problem with someone leaving after 6 months to a year. Loyalty goes both ways and Publicis has been showing an incredible lack of it over the years in my opinion. It can be tough on your colleagues but I would never knock someone for getting a better job. Good luck!
I think it really depends on the context and history. I knew someone who did this at three other different places, and I think her hiring manager saw her history and was just hoping maybe this time would be different (she also had good reasons). I’ve also known people who have had to leave due to personal reasons, or a job they just couldn’t pass up. I think as long as you’re not flakey / leaving because you’re non-committal, then there are always reasons.
Just list each one under “consultant.” Next...
Think of it this way- a job interview should be two-way. This means that you should be interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. This said, much like any other relationship that you’re trying to establish (friendship, romance, etc), it’s not always going to be a fit. I wouldn’t worry if this happens once but if it happens multiple times, then maybe there is a common denominator (YOU *cough cough). In this case, maybe Your calling is to work on more of a freelance basis.
I left my first job after 6 months because I was so miserable. The people were horrible and the work was mindless. It’s never mattered at all - when I was interviewing for my next position I actually brought it up and the people I was interviewing with said “oh I wasn’t concerned about that"
Depends on if it is a pattern or not. Once in a career is nothing. 4 jobs in 3 years is a red flag.
Exactly SP1. I am in a transition period and have been told I will be moving up to a higher title on a new team but no promises the pay will go into effect until the groupe approves it. That means I’ll likely have to leave ASAP to be paid what I deserve. That seems fair on my part.
☝️ agree with @H1...as long as it isn't a pattern, I wouldn't think twice about it as a hiring manager.
I look for patterns when I’m hiring. No hard and fast rules but one short stint isn’t a deal breaker.
I’m on the market now - less than a year into my current role after eight years at my last one. No one has commented on or asked about my current stint being short.
Not to jump in on OP’s post but I’ve seen a lot of people say that if you’ve only been at your agency a short time and want to leave, to just label it as a freelance gig on your resume. Can that come back to haunt me in a negative way?
All that matters is that you're able to justify whatever your actions or whatever the situation was to your next employer. sometimes it needs to be done but you need an explanation if there are multiple occurrences on your CD. You're selling them like any other client. then have some bomb-ass work a good ass reputation and people who will give you references. after a few years in this business you should get to a point where if need be you can get a job.
1. Have a story that is good story
2. Be awesome at your job
3. Have people that will go to bat for you
the last thing they consider is the holding company and where you are in your career whether or not you are beginning middle or end.
K?
Byeeee.
Thank you for the replies! Great question Strategy Planner 1, has anyone done that before?
People get laid off but that doesn’t mean you suck. People quit after a couple of months, but that doesn’t mean you are fishing for more. Sometimes it’s just the wrong fit. That’s ok
