Leaving job after 1 1/2 month. Should I mention the job in interviews?

Polly_31

Hi all,

I recently joined a new company and work there 24/7 (12 hour shifts) When I had the interview I was told that this is 2 days, 2 nights, 4 days off. It sounded quite good to me, but was not aware that I cant cope with this working hourse as it completly turns my day around and I dont find sleep when I should and are sleepy when I should work.

I started applying for new jobs and get already responses, however recruiters ask if I'm still with the old company as I havent updated my CV with this new company.

I dont was to give a bad impression, but should I mention the new company or not as I have only 1 week notice anyway?

If I should mention the new company, what should I say, as I think to say I cant cope with 24/7 shift might make me weak infront of a new employer?!
I did work on-call and got calls in the middle of the night but that is in my case not as distressing my body as this work.

Please help me with any advise...

Thanks,
Tom

I would mention it. I would be up front & explain that you are neither enjoying your off time as you are so tired & also you do not feel it is fair to remain in the role as you are tired & unable to give 100% to the role - nicely turned around in your favour!
