'Saving [that] sinking ship was impossible': 30+ ways to professionally explain why you 'jumped ship' so quickly at your last job during an interview

Well, it's happened. You have probably read about it countless times online, but never thought it would happen to you. It turns out the job you just started working for was not at all how they said it would be. In fact, it's a total dumpster fire and the job description you discussed during your interview is basically non-existent. So what do you do? You can either quit in a fury, dock the job from your resume, and hope the bridges you burned on your way out don't come back to haunt you. Or you can stick it out until you find a new job. But that brings up another issue: What do you tell the places you're interviewing for why you jumped or are jumping ship so quickly after being hired?

Well, the internet taketh and giveth, because here we have an A+ thread of people advising on how to handle that exact situation. Now you know how to say that you had to "dump that dumpster fire job as fast as possible" in the most professional way. Get that job you deserve, baby!
