While hiring managers should strive to be clear about what a certain job position entails, there is a chance it could get lost in translation. Some companies may be deceptive in what they’re advertising as a job position.  

Perhaps you feel that you’re overqualified or under-qualified or your responsibilities don’t match what you were told. Maybe it’s the company culture. No matter the reason, here’s what to do if you feel that your job is different than what you expected, according to FlexJobs.  

Rule Out Transition Periods 

Many jobs take time to adjust, so give yourself at least three months to evaluate if this is the right position for you.  

Talk to Your Boss 

Before jumping ship, it’s always good to express your concerns to your boss. While remaining professional manner, you can ask what you can do differently.  

Express Concerns to HR 

If you feel that your boss isn’t helpful in your adjustment period, take your concerns to HR to ease the situation. Bring copies of the hiring materials and original job description to back up your claims.  

Consider Options 

If you decide to stay, find ways you can make the job work for you. Perhaps it could be pursuing a certification or training or building relationships at work. If you do decide to pursue another job, make sure that you’re taking more time to best ensure that the job is right for you.
