Is it bad to look for a new job when you have just started?

When I found myself in that position, I chose to leave the position and search on my own.  It made sense for me because I found the environment to be very unpleasant, and I had sufficient savings to fund myself during the search.  In reference to "Katie's" comments above, hiring managers like that aren't looking for motivated, independent and confident people, they are looking for people who will come into a company and do as they are told.  You probably don't want to work for such people anyway.

Are you keeping tabs?  You should document everything!!!  The day will some when you are asked why you are so unhappy?  If you really want to leave then, they best time to look for a job is while you have a job!  \nBest of luck to you!

Stay.  Work is work, it won't get better until you start climbing the ladder.  Future employers won't look to fondly on your resume if it seems that you can't hold a job for more than 4 months.  "If we hire this person, we'll just have to replace them in six months, let's find someone else."\n\nAt the age of 22, don't expect to have your dream job, we all went through what you are going through, it's called "paying your dues".  I'm sure even Donald Trump spend his early years sweeping the floor and making coffee for the big wigs before he made it big.\n\nNaturally, don't leave this job until the next one has agreed to take you and when you do leave, do so with dignity and professionalism.  Written two weeks notice is appropriate, you'll want them to say good things about you in the future.

Job hopping is not a good habit to get into. When you finally find a job you are interested in, it will look bad that you have not been able to hold a job.\n\nThere could be a bunch of reasons you dont keep the jobs. You probably have not found your niche - what you love and what you want to do for a career. Remember, the jobs we have early on don't necessarily become our careers. Sometimes you need to get your foot in the door, and just get some experience. Sometimes jobs suck and we have to suck it up and do it for a while. Maybe you have short attention span. Maybe you are just picky. Either way, you have to get used to the idea of having to do work you don't like. It won't be easy, but try to find little things you like about your job, like a friendly coworker, or something new you learned. And keep in mind, you dont have to stay there forever. I am in my first job after grad school, and I don't plan on being here for more than a year or 2. I will take what I learn and find something that better suits my education and my personality. Good luck!

Great question.  I was to the point where I got physically ill going to work and where I didn't like my boss so much that I didn't do my job well.  I asked myself the same Q and a lot of people told me that it will feel right.  When I left, it felt right.  I haven't had a single regret since.  \n\nOf course, you have to consider what other job will you go to, do you have the $ to be unemployed for a time, will there be a gap on your resume ... etc.

Start shopping the job market, and I don't mean sit on the computer. Get out and go door to door. Companies like to see what type of person you are and how well you handle yourself. See what is out there. See if you get some job offers. If they look good, then I'd use that as leverage in your current job to advance or get a pay raise. If they aren't willing to do it, then go to the new job. Don't waste your time in a company that isn't going anywhere, or is not willing to treat their people well, when that is time you could be investing in an up and coming company with a better atmosphere, and promotion potential.

how come people cant find another job while they are employed??? This always baffles me. LOOK FOR A JOB WHILE YOU WORK THERE AND QUIT WHEN YOU FIND ANOTHER ONE!

When you start finding ANY excuse to not go to work...it's time to change. I just changed careers after 22 years in the same industry, and it was the best idea I've had in a long time. I'm sooo happy I finally got the nerve to do it. It takes time to start again, but when you look forward to going to work...it's a great feeling.

As a rule, NO! It depends on the situation, but usually people of that age have a tremendous amount of experience in their field if they have been in the same line of work for a while.  This should be utilized in order to avoid making the same sort of mistakes that can be made by a "newbie" that is still discovering the subtle nuances that every career has.  Granted, if a person cannot compete at that age and has lost the drive or enthusiasm that it takes to stay competitive, then they have no business being in that position.  Also, if that person is resistant to change and doesn't want to lead, then they are a liability. But if I were the head of a company, I would try to strike a delicate balance between seasoned veterans who are battle tested, and upstart prospects who bring loads of energy and fresh ideas to the table.  That way, everyone gets the most out of the working relationship and prosperity is abound! \nPlease excuse my optimism but I believe that people can excel when put in the right environment.

It depends, why do you want to seek a new job?  \n\nIf you have a habit of switching jobs often (every few months) then you might just want see why that is?  Are you being too picky about the job? Or, do you not get along w/ people at your job?  If its something that you're doing, like being defensive or something like that, then try to change your behavior to see if that helps any. \n\nIf you want to change jobs because you don't like the environment and you don't see yourself learning anything or advancing anywere then I suggest you look for another job.  \n\nI would definitely keep the current job until you find something else.  And just remember, you will have to give a reason for why you left so try to make it a good one.

Make a list of the pros and cons.  Could you find a similar flexibility with another job?  It never hurts to look for a job, but I wouldn't quit until you have a better situation lined up.

If you have a nest egg to hold you over until you find a new job then no, however, if you were living check to check then maybe you should have found a new job BEFORE leaving the one you had. In the end, if leaving helps you maintain your sanity then that's what's most important.

A good way is to see what other people are doing, and try to do the same thing. New jobs can be hard. Keep trying and you should do fine.
