After Hours 16: How much is “too much” in an interview?

After a prolonged stretch of chaos and lack of focus from her managers, Shawna left a job she’d held for five years in search of greener pastures. And now that she’s on the hunt for a new job, she wants to know how honest she can be with interviewers about the problems she just left behind; after all, she did gain valuable skills because of her experience with subpar management. Liz and Larry offer their thoughts on how to present the positives from the situation without over-sharing with interviewers. Meanwhile, Patrick’s nine months into a job he wants to leave, but he doesn’t know if it’s appropriate to look for a new job while he’s on the clock.
