I had to accept a position at company A since I wanted to leave Gap asap and had no other offers. I'll be joining A at the beginning of Feb. However, A's offer is only slightly better than my current compensation, so I'd like to continue interviewing until I join A. If I do end up getting another offer after I join A and leave A in a month, do I still need to get a verification of employment letter from my manager at A?. I'm worried he will be pissed and will refuse one. Has anyone gone through this before?. What are my options here?. Thanks! TC - 190k #perm
This is an interesting question, one I’d like to know the answer to myself. Normally when you file for PERM, you’re asked to produce experience letters from past employers totaling X years for, say, SQL. My hunch is that if you’re able to get past that ‘X years in SQL’ with GAP, then that 1 month experience letter from A, may not even be needed. This is a question that you should be asking a lawyer or on one of those immigration lawyer forum like Avvo, just for some peace of mind. Good luck!
Ah, I see. Yeah, that makes me feel better. I'll explore Avvo too. Thanks for the suggestion :)
In general I don't think any half decent company would deny such letters as long as you act professionally. Maybe give them more than just a 2 week notice so that they have enough time to plan on their end. Leaving soon after joining is not rare. You just need to handle it the right way.
You dont need letter from manager .You can request to HR and they will happy to give you. I think if you have 5 or 7 years experience then you dont need letter for 1 month.
It’s highly unlikely company A will start working on your perm in the first month
Sorry, let me clarify - Say I leave company A after a month and join company B. Whenever B decides to start my PERM, will I need a VOE letter from my manager at A?. If I do, but he decides not to give one, do I have any other options?.
Doesn't need to be manager, it can be a senior colleague as well. In generalz your interests are best suited to avoid pissing people off when you are in golden handcuffs😔
