Leave this job off your resume or label it as freelance
How long were you at the previous job?
As long as this is a one-off, it should be easy to talk to. I had one job I was at for only 6 months, but the previous jobs I was at for multiple years, so it was clearly an anomaly.
This happened to me. I’ve told recruiters the truth so they know that if they try and pull the same thing I will leave. I won’t work with the previous recruiting agency again because of it.
