Wrongful hiring is the case where actual job turns out to be very
different than what you have applied to.
I have recently started my second job, leaving my first job after 7 months due to wrongful hiring. For my first job, I have applied for a devops position but I ended up doing front end web development. I had no experience nor desire in doing front end development yet I was doing it. I was never given any chance to demonstrate my devops knowledge, and yet my senior and manager was very sure that it was too early for me to switch to operations. Mind that neither of them had any experience with devops before.
Fast forward, I applied to a devops position at a global company trusting the brand name. I got through a very technical interview where I was asked questions about vendor specific products used in devops and was hired immediately.
I must say I felt proud that even though I jumped the ship too early, I was able to get hold of a better position.
Now after two months into new job it is clear that my day to day duty has nothing to do with devops. I am hired for support work. Basically I am a customer relationship officer with knowledge of Docker.
My first company was a well known start-up at my country, and my current company is a well known global company.
My question is, if I cannot trust the brand name what can I trust to? How many job changes does it take to land the actual position doing the actual thing? How am I, as a new graduate navigate through this "actual job turning out to be something very different" without it's being too late at weird positions ?
