Message Name: How does it look to have only 2 months at one company?
Date Posted: 06/20/2005
Message: I recently left a company I had been working at for three years to take a job in marketing - an industry I had wanted to be in for years. However, after only two weeks at the new place, I began to realize it was not the place for me - the culture was not right, the job was not what I thought it would be, and the work (marketing for financial services) did not interest me as much as I had originally thought. Now I am considering taking another position at a distance education company. How will it look to future employers, and business school admissions representatives, looking at my resume and seeing a tenure of only two months at one company? Is this something I will be able to explain or will my resume be ignored immediately?
