A Delhi-based HR executive recently shared her disappointment after a candidate in her company quit on her first day at work. The employee apparently did not communicate the reason for the quick exit, except for sending a short text message saying they didn't like the work.

In her now-viral LinkedIn post, Chaurasiya wrote: "Recently, a candidate joined, and by the end of Day 1, messaged: 'Mujhe yeh kaam pasand nahi aaya (I didn't like the job).' No call, no proper explanation. Just—done." She confirmed the sales role's nature and potential toughness were "absolutely" discussed before the offer, leaving her to ponder, "So what changed overnight?"

Screenshots of messages exchanged with the candidate show the candidate saying that they do not want to continue with the job because they didn't like it.

Chaurasiya’s core message to all candidates is that perfection isn't found in a day. "No job becomes perfect in a day. No company can prove everything in 24 hours. And no role will ever feel 'comfortable' until you give it your time, energy, and mindset," she added.

Her advice for job seekers is clear and concise:

"Ask your doubts clearly during the interview."
"If you're unsure, wait—don't rush to say yes."
"Once committed, try to give your role a fair chance before deciding it's 'not for you.'"
"And most importantly—communicate. Silence never shows professionalism."

The HR executive emphasised that true professional growth stems not from "perfect jobs" but from "patience, clarity, and learning from discomfort." She concluded by highlighting the mutual nature of belief in the hiring process: "We as HRs don’t just hire people—we believe in people. But belief only works when it’s mutual."
