Need an MBA?

Hey Alyse,

I have a job interview coming up and I don’t know if I should go. I’ve worked at a few places the last couple of years and I’ve left because the employer made promises that they didn’t keep. One job told me that I would be able to move up really quickly, after six months I was in the same position so I quit. Another job told me that I would make $40,000 a year but after I started working I found out that that included bonuses! I’m tired of people saying one thing to you during the interview but doing something completely different when you start the job, the next job I go to is going to have to really convince me that they are the right fit for me. The recruiter that set up the interview for me isn’t really doing a good job convincing me – should I go?

Hey Job Hunting,

Slow down warrior! You have it all wrong – NO employer has to convince you to work for them, they are issuing the paycheck! First, your brief description tells me that you enter into the job relationship with unrealistic expectations and when those expectations aren’t met – you just quit. If you have had 3 jobs in the last few years that makes you a job hopper at best or just a plain old quitter. I don’t think I’m going out on a limb by assuming that you don’t have good job references. Whether you go to the interview or not is entirely up to you, however, what I do suggest you do before going to the interview is to bury your old attitude and get an MBA – Much Better Attitude.
