What to Do When Your New Job Is a Total Nightmare


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I dig into one of the most terrifying career moments: realizing your new job is not what you signed up for! Based on real horror stories submitted by listeners, we react, break down the red flags, and share practical advice for when a new job goes sideways. 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Spotting job red flags before you start
  • How soon is too soon to quit a nightmare job
  • What to do if the job is not as advertised on day one
  • Handling the classic "bait and switch" offer
  • How to explain a short job gap to future employers
  • Protecting yourself from job nightmares long-term
  • When to give a new job more time (and when to run)


Listen in to help us, help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
