what to do if you left your job within a year …

prepare an explanation for leaving so soon – was it a culture mis-fit or were you promised something in the interview that was totally wrong ?

show your impact – what difference did you make in the short stint there ?

what did you learn from the experience ?

discuss what you’re hoping to avoid

keep the conversation focussed on the future

talk about a side project

sometimes if the job was too brief , leave it from the resume
