Hi I need some advice, I recently left my job as I was being severely underpaid and it was a terrible company to work for. During an interview I said I still worked in my old job as I thought it would look bad to have left without another job to go to. I also said I earned 8k more than I did, as thats how much that kind of a role would usually get.
The interview went well, so they have offered me the job matching that salary, I am now worried that they will see on my P45 I left three weeks earlier than I said and that I didn't earn as much as I had said. Will this matter? ....
Youv'e very little to worry about. 8K is nothing when moving jobs! You were offered the job based on your good performance at the interview and on your past experience. Once you start working and prove your ability then you will be up and running and, hopefully, happy in the new job.
Problems are usually caused when interviewees lie about their experience and qualifications and are later caught out when they start the new job!
Just go for it and the best of luck!
