I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could really use some advice. I recently started a new job after a period of unemployment. I knew from the start it wasn’t an ideal fit, but at the time I was quite desperate and felt I needed to accept something.
Now, just one week into this new role, I’ve been offered an interview for a much more suitable position. The problem is, I have no idea how to attend this interview without raising red flags. Taking a sick day this early feels wrong and I feel it won't reflect well but I also don’t want to miss out on what could be a much better opportunity.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How do I attend an interview when I'm still onboarding in a new role which requires numerous meetings a day. Any advice appreciated!
