If I leave my company in six months will my experience count?
Yes, it counts. In a way that you can definitely mention in your resume. And if you complete six more months in another company, your total work experience becomes one year.No, if you left the job without any other offer ready to join. May be, you want to search for other job after leaving your current one.In this case, you won’t be recruited as experienced candidate in any interview. You can attend interviews which allow freshers with zero experience, but not as a experienced one.Almost all the companies look for minimum one year experience (a more common scenario is 2 years minimum) while looking of hiring experienced candidates.So, only advantage is, if you are in a interview where freshers are eligible, and you qualify most of the interview rounds and competing with other freshers, you may have an slight edge in recruiters perspective. That’s it.
Can I apply to a 6 months customer service experience required job with only 4 months experience?
I'm really trying to get a job at animal hospitals in my area for experience for vet school. The ones for entry level say high school diploma and 6 months of customer service experience required. I only have 4-5 months of customer service experience from a previous job. Should I still apply or will they look at it and think I obviously don't pay attention because I still applied?
I got a new job but lied about a reference...?
I have had about 4 jobs including my current and I'm 22. One I was with for about 3 years and was promoted to a supervisory role and the references will be good. From there I went to work abroad. It was meant to be for about 5 months but I stayed a few weeks. I was lied to before I went out there and nothing was as promised and when I started to get ill, I left and on such bad terms that I had to call the police. I then got another job for 4 months but found a new job which I LOVE. I've been there a few weeks but regrettably, I lied and said I loved my experience abroad and learnt so much from it and stayed til the end of the contract. I thought they had completed my reference checks but they have come back and said they haven't been able to contact the company (thank god). But are asking for a payslip or something confirming the dates I was there for. I don't have anything and even if I did it wouldn't match with what I told them. So, obviously I know this is my mistake and definitely a lesson learned but I really wanted this job and didn't want to seem like a job hopper which was not the case but didn't think my explanations would seem genuine to someone that doesn't know me. What shall I do? Shall I use a co-worker who I worked abroad with to lie? Do you think if I can't find any docs they will just leave this one as they have 2/3 other good ones? I don't think coming clean would be the best option at this stage. Open to opinions. Thank you
Experience in probation period? Help?
OK Im not a expert - But have some advice I guess your worried about having a review after 3 months (So one coming up soon....) and you are normally asked about how you feel your fitting into the team and if you are liking the job, and your worried you will say your ok and then 2 months later you resign. This will be suspect for the employer YES it will, but remember you dont owe your employer anything. There could be a number of reasons you deciede to leave your current job - you havent given any so I am guessing you have taken this job for experience only and once you have gained the experience you want to more on to bigger and better things? NO.... Not uncommon - but your employer will prob like a reason for you leaving: If your probation period is like, you have been employed in a 6 month contract and you may be asked to be full time after that period then - of course you have the right to reference and to leave if you deciede to - If this probation period is like more of a performance review after 3-6 months then you should bring up any concerns you have at this stage. Oh and If you have worked for this company for 3-6 months then you are entitled to a reference letter - you do have to ask for one from your employer. Good luck hope this helped
Is 3 months notice period a hindrance to switch job?
I have read and experienced aplenty on the curious case of 3-month notice period in India. It is a bummer not only for the candidate but also for the recruiters who want to move fast and close the reqs.The last thing that you want to do is to lie in your profile just to get more calls.However, assuming you go ahead and reduce your notice period to one month and actually land a great job, you are NOT there yet!Its a bumpy road ahead to negotiate your ACTUAL notice period with your prospective employer. They will not bat an eyelash before retracting your offer letter. You can not even feign ignorance because the details about your notice period are very specifically mentioned in your offer letter at the time of employment.Again, if you are able to convince your future employer and they like you too much or are desperate to fill the job req, they may agree to wait for you or buy out your notice period.You are still not there yet!Now you need to negotiate your actual notice period with your current employer and how soon they relieve you overriding your notice period as per company policy depends upon how good your rapport has been with your people. They may or may be interested in selling-out your notice period.This particular scenario that you have mentioned is full of ifs and buts.Tread cautiously.Good luck!
Is it okay to leave a new job after 3 months if you're really not happy there?
I got fired after being at a job for one month. It was a third-shift systems administration job and I was miserable. I started looking around for other opportunities and let my manager know since I didn't want to leave him high-and-dry. Two days later he axed me. (No negative performance reviews or anything, they just decided to eliminate the position.)That experience didn't affect my future job prospects at all. It was a short period early in my career and not particularly relevant work experience so now I just leave it off my resume. (I also don't put that I scrubbed toilets at a cinema when I was 14.) Although I never had to explain it to a recruiter I don't think I'd have a problem telling them about what happened.Be prepared to explain why you left. Assuming you have a reasonable explanation and the rest of your resume is strong they'll likely be able to overlook it. If you have a series of three-month jobs then that might raise some alarms.Another thing to consider is whether you can address the causes for your unhappiness at your current job. You might find that a conversation with your manager or someone in HR could be beneficial. Most employers are concerned about their employees well-being and want to retain good talent. They might be able to address the underlying causes and make your current job work for you.
How do I explain a 4-month gap between jobs? I was made redundant at the old job. Although I got many interviews, it has been a few months because it wasn't a hiring period.
I’m unclear if you are currently employed, and there is a 4 month gap on your resume from your past jobs, or if you were laid off 4 months ago and you are currently looking for a job.If it’s the former and you just have a gap on your resume, then don’t bring it up unless asked.If it’s the later and it’s been 4 months since you’ve had a full-time job, try starting some side projects or a freelance gig, that way you can have something on the resume that says “4 months ago - present”.4 months honestly is not that long. You are probably not getting hired because you are not passing the interviews. Companies would not waste their time interviewing unless they are planning to hire.Now, how do you pass interviews? Remember that interviewing in a 2 way conversation. It is as much about you getting to know them as they getting to know you. If you only answer their questions but show no interest in the company/team, then you will for sure not make it pass the first round.Do the following:Know who your interviewer is in advance, know their title and what they are working on.Be prepared to tell succinct, engaging stories about why you’re interested in the role, why you’re a good fit, your past experiences that provide you the skills required to do the job.Do try to connect with your interviewer. Feel free to make small talk. Ask about how their day is going, whether they have weekend plans. They are human.Dress sharp. You can never go wrong with over dressing. You can always accidentally under dress. When in doubt, over dress.Be prepared to ask intelligent questions that show you have done research on the company and that you are interested in working there. Here are some sample questions that can be applied to any interview. It is also important to ask specific questions about the projects that you will be working on. Pay attention when the interviewer describes to you the responsibilities of the roles.
