211: Quitting your DISASTER new job. How much do you tell them about why you're leaving?
Interview Boss About this episode
<p>You’re only five months into a new role, but you’re burnt out, crying daily, and dreading every shift. You know you need to leave for your mental health, but the old advice is ringing in your ears: "Never resign without another job lined up!"</p><p>In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma tackle a heavy listener dilemma from Rita, who is ready to walk away during her probation period but is struggling with how to approach the resignation conversation. Do you tell them exactly why the culture is toxic, or do you keep it professional and vague?</p><p>We have a bit of a debate in this episode! We weigh up the "justice" route (letting them know exactly why they suck) versus the "protect your peace" route (saving your energy and moving on). Who is on which side? Who will you agree with?</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Molika “Hello Sarah and Emma! This is a bit of a late thank you but my 2025 spotify wrapped has reminded me of how much you guys helped me out during my stressful internship interviews. On the big day of my 2 biggest top preferences sites, I revisited 8 episodes in a row while on the PTV to the city and played the HYPE-UP podcast as I was walking towards the interview to shake off any last minute nerves. All the actionable preparation that you both shared made me feel so ready to conquer the interview- knowing that I had done all that I could- and I got my number 1 choice. I was in your girls’ top 0.5% of listeners and I am so proud to be esteemed that accomplishment. Please keep doing what you’re doing, I only wish you girls the utmost success.”</p><p>🎥 Check out BRAND NEW free training - Top Interview Tips <u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/top-interview-tips</a></u></p><p>🏫 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy<a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><u><a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></u></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
