Bit unsure about the thread title but i will explain.

I was looking to leave my previous job due to my salary being too low for the job i was doing. I interviewed for a position, asked all the key questions and on the face of it everything i could find out about the company seemed to be fantastic!

as soon as i started working for them (nearly 2 weeks ago) i realised i had been very mislead into accepting the position, so many things are not true and i have pretty big concerns as people are leaving faster then they are coming in. for example, on monday the Financial Director and Finance Manager both resigned, followed by an email saying they would not be replaced. i've also had other information about another senior person resigning.

So, my question is: What do i write on my CV before i start sending it out again?

I've added the dates and name of the company but i'm stumped to what i can write unnder the heading! I want to simply say "lied to and mislead into accepting position" but i dont think thats appropriate.

any help appreciated from my fellow petrol heads smile

Thanks guys

If i leave it off, should i still explain the situation at interview or just ignore it completely?...

LOL! just stumbled upon a job ad from the same company for more than they were offering when they employed me!

(i want to link to it but for fear of retribution i wont, you may find it on a Jobsite titled IT Server Technician in the bristol area however)

considering the job ad i applied for was similar and the 100 question quiz i got at interview you really would be forgiven for thinking this is a technical role, the reality is its 90% a first line support role and the server/network enviroment is a fking disaster!
