It Took 8 Months to get My First Job Out of College, and Less than a Week for My Second
Here’s The Difference
I know I’m not the only one who did everything I possibly could to try and get a job out of college, but nothing worked.
When I finally got hired, I was so grateful and happy, but little did I know that I was joining a very toxic team with a manager that did not like me; and I ultimately quit that job ten months in because I could not stand to be around that culture anymore.
I didn’t even have any applications out when I quit. I was just so angry. Fortunately, my part-time coffee shop job graciously gave me hours to make sure I could pay rent.
Fifteen days after I quit, I started a new full-time job making more money with a way cooler manager and a much healthier atmosphere.
