Dear Lifehacker,
I started a new job a month ago and now realise it’s not really a good fit for me. Even after a month I’m still not comfortable and I dread going in every morning. Can I quit without looking like a total jerk?
Sincerely,
Anxious About Quitting
As you know, preparation is key to doing well on a job interview and hirers tend to ask the same kinds of questions. This job interview one-sheeter is a great resource for getting your strategic answers together.

That means thousands of Australians will sign up to try and fulfil their dreams of a career in food/TV stardom, but I’m thinking more broadly. What would you do if you had six months to pursue your dream and a basic salary to pursue it?
