Once the company’s financial outlook improves they may have promoted her to the more attractive position. There were no guarantees, but at least she would be working again. <br /><br />Also, I enjoyed your informative post:<br />http://businessfinishingschool.blogspot.com/2010/02/job-hunt-story.html <br />and encourage everyone to jump over to her blog and read it.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-51491329047789311572010-02-28T19:55:00.928-06:002010-02-28T19:55:00.928-06:00What a horrible lesson to learn the hard way.

If a company feels you are going to be immediately searching for a new/better job upon starting a new one, then they are not going to hire you. And recruiters are NOT your friends. They are there to get their signing bonus.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-52518768145432244332010-02-27T09:05:18.890-06:002010-02-27T09:05:18.890-06:00very timely.

The offer I got was within my range (my lowered, unemployed person's range), but very different in nature than what was presented in the interview cycle. I agree that quitting within the 30 day window doesn't help, esp since I want to stay with this company and accepted this role as a way to get in. So i am trying to focus on a longer-range plan and identify a path I am working from the less-satisfying bird in hand to the more attractive one I suspect is in the bush. I don't know if it will ever materialize. But I do know that if I bail on this company now it never will.Caroline Benderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551500494780247131noreply@blogger.com
