Different Job To What I Applied

Administration officer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pension and opportunities for progression.

Cons

Didn't listen to my mental health concerns. My manager completely ignored them. I ended up quitting within a year for this reason. The job turned out to be completely different to the one I applied to. When I complained about the new job (as it was a call centre job that I hadn't applied for), they said I couldn't swap to the job I actually applied for which was case work.
