That same thing happened to me! I left after two weeks and never put them on my resume.

Oh, a job hopper!
Job Hopper also - sm
I totally agree with you about the lies told by recruiters, and you only find out after hire. Doesn't look good on the resume, and I'm thinking of leaving those places off, but we are caught between a rock and a hard place. We wouldn't be looking for greener grass if the pasture we're in wasn't full of cow pies...dropped after we were hired. It all boils down to honesty and intergrity. The recruiter wants the truth from us about our abilities but lies to us about what their company will give us for those abilities. It begins and ends with the recruiter. There would be much less job hopping if the recuiters changed their ways, no matter how many hours a day they may work. Perhaps they should start by recruiting someone to help them out if they can't handle the work flow.
I'm not a job hopper.
I worked for the same bad place for 9 years. They then outsourced to another bad company where I stayed a few months. Then I got a part time IC job during the few months with the second employer which I am still with. I got another full time job but when that company split up and I was asked to take a pay cut, I quit there, which they totally understood. I'm happy with the account on my full time job now, but not the pay so I keep my ears open. I also tell my employer when I am offered higher rates to prove to her boss that there is better out there. I also do consulting on the side from time to time. . :-)
Being a job hopper does not make you look like..sm
a stronger MT. It makes you look like someone who is unreliable and discontent everywhere you work. I don't hire people who hop from job to job because I know it will then be only a matter of time before they hop right on out of my job. If you are well-trained or have acute care experience, you should be able to do anything that is thrown at you anyway. That is part of being an MT and it shouldn't take hopping from specialty to specialty to attain that. I hope no one follows your line of thinking because it looks terrible on a resume and will most definitely not help you in finding a job.
