Sure, you may be less likely to get the job, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try if you are looking to switch. | |

I would say that telling them that you really wanted to work for them, had applied to to open positions at their company in the past ( if this was actually true ), but had to accept what was offered is a valid reason. | |

If I were hiring and I interviewed a person who had only been at his current job for a month, that might make me concerned that he would leave my job immediately if something more interesting came along. At the very least, he would have to tell me why it turned out that he was so unhappy at a job he just started. And then you have a careful line to walk to not appear to be dissing your current employer. | |
