I posted this one in part because this is one of the few times Alison's advice has annoyed me. Person writes in asking "How do I handle having done X?" and she basically says "Don't have done X." X is done, no undoing it now!

The comments were largely worth reading. Some hiring managers agreed that people who've left a job without another lined up are unemployable; others said that they didn't hold this against otherwise good candidates because some jobs do suck. And, of course, I'd love your opinions on the subject.
