I quit 2 or 3 jobs after the first day, I hated them and didn't want to go back.
I got fired after 3 days on a large paying project management job. I think I embellished my resume a bit too much and ended up getting the boot. It was painful, I'll never do that again.
What type of jobs if I may ask? And did you have another job lined up or did you just quit and not have anything else? Are you glad you quit them or do you feel you should have stuck it out?
Some jobs you know right away you don't want to be in. You just know. The first 2 weeks of any job is hard, you have to learn names, places and your tasks. I didn't want to stick out something I didn't like in the first place. The trick is to find a career, not a job. They are two different things. Once you have a career going you are set, just find the right job for that career. I made the mistake of switching careers and found a PM job with no experience. It was hired as a project manager for a large pharma company and couldn't grasp the basic concepts of the job. It was brutal, so now I try not to get in over my head anymore but at the same time I have to show I am capable and take on more work to expand. It's a tough balance.
Back in 03 I had my hours cut at the repair shop I was working at so I took a part time job as a laborer for a roofing company to supplement my income. I made by it a day and quit. Talk about not worth it.
I quit my 1st job out of my apprenticeship after 2 days because I had a physical altercation with the boss.
