Hi,
Greetings to all...
I am an MBA (HR) 2010 pass out, working in a manufacturing company as an executive for the last 4 months. I find the job not up to the mark and would like to resign from the same. However, my marriage got fixed up suddenly, and I will be shifting from the city in a couple of months, so finding an alternative job is not possible. I have 2 more months left before the marriage. So, if I resign from the job now and remain jobless for the next two months, will it create a negative impact on my career? Is there a chance of getting rejected when I try for a new one after 3 months? Or should I somehow stick to the same job (It's really worthless because there is no value addition happening to me and the company is unprofessional as well)? Please guide me to make a proper decision.

I would agree with Yasmin , as continuity makes you more employable . At the same time, from your post, it seems you have made a decision for yourself. You don't see any value addition for the two months in the company. On the top you will have to resign in three months time. Considering that it wouldn't be difficult to explain why you left your job, I guess puts you in a stronger position to put your papers down, moreover you are relocating into a different city post your marriage. But time it rightly, please do keep in mind that 0-6 months are calculated in the same work experience level. Since you have been working for more than 4 months now, continue for some more time to take it towards 6 months and resign thereafter.
Try and gain expertise within your role , no matter how little options you have . You need to explain and justify this role in interviews later on. Keep that in mind and prepare accordingly.
Observe how work is done in other areas of HR. Note the process for managing any escalation and solutions they find. Learn more about the legal and statutory processes. These would add on to your professional experience. Remain non-judgmental about them and absorb every bit of information that you come across. It would make you employable, so make use of your time in office. Wish you all the best!

Instead of resigning you can take leave for your marriage, whether you have leave balance or it goes as LOP never mind. In the mean time you can also search for new jobs, hope this helps....

Hi friend,
If I were in your position, I would put in my resignation immediately because there is no point in staying with a company that doesn't add any value to your efforts. Serve the notice period specified in the appointment letter. Never abscond; that's not the right way to respond. Think that you have been paid for four months. As educated people, we should know what our dos and don'ts are. By the time you get relieved, you will have only one month left before getting married. During that time, you could try to secure a job in the city where you will move after marriage, or simply enjoy your bachelor life and be happy.
Consider that you only have four months of experience, and you are a 2010 passout. Even if you look for a job after getting married, you can easily convince the HR that as soon as you completed your education, your parents wanted you to get married and insisted that you work only if your husband is willing. Inform HR that since you got married, and your husband agreed, you have started your job search. It's a straightforward matter.
Good luck to you.

Respected Seniors,
Thank you all for the valuable guidance and advice. From the suggestions, I feel that I should somehow continue the job. I am so much relieved to know that it won't be hard to get a new job once I get married.
But if I find it intolerable at any point in time and resign, can I show this less than 6 months of experience on my resume? Or should I start again as a fresher?

Hi,
As I feel that you should show your experience, but at the same time, you should also be ready to face the questions in the next company's interview. You should provide a strong reason for leaving the past company; otherwise, you can't build trust and succeed in the interview.
I can only advise you not to leave your current job and search for another one as it is not a good option.

Greetings,
I am sure you have your own parameters to the deal breaker and will take a call on it. You should add this experience in your resume. Though there are chances you might be categorised in the level of 0-6 month's experience. Yet you would be better than a fresher as you are at a lot more oriented level than someone who has never worked in this role. So value yourself and continue learning as far as you can.
Wish you all the best,
