Hi!

Hi! I'm an HR Generalist/Recruiter that was laid off in September. After a stressful job search I found a similar position but had to take a significant pay cut and lost a lot of benefits. I'm a month in and realizing we don't see eye-to-eye on timely hiring processes, which was a big dealbreaker point for me. I guess I'm going to hang on and continue looking, but would you put this on your resume or not? I hate to have to admit I only took the job out of desperation, but that's the real truth.

    Yes, leave it on your resume for now. Many companies have biases against those with employment gaps. It might take a while to land a new job, so you might be at the job longer than you'd like.
