…candidate we placed six months ago calls…says that everything was fine and going very well…

he called us two weeks into this job to say that he wanted to quit…he was overwhelmed…didn’t like the people…the job…nothing about it…

he needed the job, but at that point he was ready to quit…

this happens quite a bit…candidate gets a new job…really doesn’t know what he or she is getting into…a bit afraid …overwhelmed is a good way to put it…so, couple of weeks into it, they are ready to go back looking for a job..

our advice was to hang in there for a while…give it 90 days or so…unless there is something that is so awful that one can’t live with it, give yourself a chance…have no expectations..just go to work and see what happens..

once the new employee got over the fear of being new, everything worked out…

give it time…it doesn’t always work out…but give yourself a chance..
