I'll try to keep this short...

Right around the time I submitted my primary, I was hired for a clinical employment position and went through the medical screening, paperwork, and orientation process. I mentioned this in my "Is there anything new you want to tell us..." questions on secondaries and stated that I had very recently just been hired and that it was a new position that I hadn't mentioned on my primary. However, I am not going to be working in that position after all due to scheduling conflicts. I presented my class schedule to the hiring manager at the time of my interview and hiring "on-boarding" and was told there wouldn't be any problems, but was then told that I needed to complete about 6-8 weeks of 7am-3pm training before I could start the job. Obviously being a full time student, there was no way I was going to be able to accommodate that schedule. Now I'm concerned about what to say in an interview when they ask about my job and I'm afraid it is going to look bad or like I was lying. I had to take a non-clinical job delivering food so that it was more flexible around my busy schedule. Will this reflect poorly and how should I go about this dilemma?

Thanks
 
I did something similar, except was already employed full time but mentioned pursuit of a masters, and dropped from masters after third week

It will unlikely be a problem in any way, shape or form. If a school accepts updates you could let them know but frankly I see that as doing more harm that good. Just let the sleeping dog lie

Thank you for the reply. I, too, thought it would cause more harm than good by sending it in an update letter, but I also don't want to get to an interview where they ask about the position and I appear to not have been forthcoming and honest about not staying in that position.
