A friend of mine took an IT Management position with a company that he felt less-than-excited about. But since he was unemployed, he decided to take anything that came along knowing in his heart that he’d keep looking for a better position.
Now two months into the job, he’s miserable with his career choice and is finding that during interviews for better positions he is viewed as damaged goods because he’s only been on the new job for a short while.
Has anyone else been through this? What’s the best way to spin this to potential employers? Was this a bad career move?
