Feeling Stuck in a New Job After Just a Month: Is It Okay to Start Job Hunting Again?

Hi,

One month ago, I joined a new organization. However, I am not satisfied with my current role. During the interview, they mentioned that the role was related to finance and accounts. Yet, in reality, I am mainly working on database management tasks such as maintaining databases for finance and accounts and automating processes. I am not interested in this role and would like to explore opportunities in organizations where the role aligns better with my skills and interests.

Can I search for a new job even though I recently started with this organization?

What reasons can I provide to justify my desire to move to another organization?

Please advise!

Naguarjun

Hi,

Before making the decision to join a new organization, I would suggest discussing your problem with your senior or the HR. Get an explanation from them as to why you have been given this role and when you are going to get the desired role you asked for. Don't forget to mention that you aren't happy with this profile. If their answers satisfy you, well and good; otherwise, look out for a change. You have hardly spent 30 days in this company, so no worries.

Hope this works :)

Hi Roma,

Thanks for your response. I have already discussed with my HR, but I am not satisfied with their response. Now I don't know what justification I am supposed to give if I decide to join a new organization.

Hi,

Oh! :( I would suggest it's better to resign then. Firstly, you don't need to give any justification, because it's the interviewer's fault :evil: Secondly, even if they ask, directly comment on their faulty promises. Thirdly, if you're worried about the other company asking you about your early exit, be honest and reveal the entire issue. I am sure this will help. All the best!!!!! :)

Dear Nagarjun,

You can always apply for a new job, no matter how long your previous job experience is.

Hi,

If you are not satisfied with your present job profile, you may leave the company as you have just completed 1 month. Usually, there will be a 3-month probation period. You can decide on your own to leave or continue.

Dear Mr. Nagarjun,

Nobody can stop when an employee quits for his better prospects, especially since you have only spent hardly 30 days with them. If you have another offer readily available, you can tender your resignation citing personal reasons for your departure. There is no point in continuing the job with a detached mind.

All the best,

Hi everybody,

Thank you for all your suggestions. I have discussed with my HR Team, and I am not satisfied with their response. Therefore, I have decided to move on.

A few days back, I attended some interviews. When I explained my situation during the operation round, I felt that they were not satisfied with my justification. I am unsure about how to proceed. Please advise.

Regards

Hello,

You have decided to quit. You are not asking for advice here. Now, having decided to quit, you want to tell a nice story to your future employers. You want a story fabricated here!!! I may sound a little harsh, but it is for your good that I am saying this. Are you not the owner of your decision to quit? If you are the owner, are you convinced about your decision? If you are convinced, give the same reasons. Many interviewers like the truth to come out from the candidate himself.

Dear Sender,

What is your problem in continuing with your present employer and why do you need a change before completing one month of service?

Dear Friend,

If you have made the decision to quit, you may also find a good job elsewhere. However, the interviewer needs to be punished for his mistake. He made an error by lying about the job profile. In our community, we have many educated HR professionals, but unfortunately, no one seems to take action to hold the employer accountable for their mistakes. Instead, they all agree to withhold payments from employees, refuse to issue relieving letters, and fail to forward PF forms. It is disheartening that no one has proposed a way to penalize the employer.

I suggest seeking compensation from the employer who misled you. This may lead to their dismissal, preventing further trouble for employees. It is important to address such misconduct to ensure fairness and accountability in the workplace.

Best regards,
