I’m a fairly new grad. Got licensed in January and started working in February. I moved across the state for this job taking my family with me. Now 4 months in it’s such a toxic environment. Unethical, unhealthy. I’m looking to apply to other places. Do I put this company on my resume to show I’ve been working since I graduated or is it worse to show I want to leave after only 4 months? Also, absolutely cannot have them contact my current job or use them as a reference. Put them or no?

Speaking from experience as a hiring manger and given that a search would reveal you are working with them I would list them and then explain the circumstances during the interview. For myself I would value your ethics and integrity for leaving an unethical situation and furthermore would think negatively of a candidate who concealed information regarding employment history.

You’re welcome, happy to help.

What an awful experience; I'm so sorry you're going through this. I would say avoid listing it on your resume, though. It's easier to explain a four-month gap since you just graduated than to explain your way around a short four-month tenure. I know you'll be able to find something better. Stick with it!

If they search me they would see that I am currently working for this company. Does that change your advice?

It is better to put them on your resume than show any employment gap. Perhaps consider seeking advice from a professional resume writer. www.prsnbranding does a great job with resumes.

I would list it. I have many jobs on my resume that I did not like (and they did not like me). You can be very vague about why you don't like it there saying that you had different expectations or you want to take your career in a different direction, blah blah. A past employer is not allowed to say anything negative about a former employee, only to verify past employee status. But do try to leave quickly before things get too awful. Its a crummy situation to have for your first job because it makes you wonder about yourself. (I am unclear if you work for Prof. PT. I worked for them and they are amongst the scuzziest companies that I have ever worked for). Although I have always liked what I do, most employers I have worked for are very happy to take advantage of their employees and treat them like --it. Chalk it up to a learning experience for you and remember when you go on your next job interview that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. Try to get the vibe on the company before committing to them. See if you can "observe" at a prospective company to really see if other employees are happy or if they are overworked and stressed out. Don't sweat it too much. In a year you it won't mean a thing.

I work at st Christopher’s hospital for children in Philadelphia PA. And RD starting salary is $61,000. I think this is very poor for having a specialty and going thru 5-8 years of schooling with 3.5 years experience. The hospital also did not give the clinical nutrition department a bonus because we aren’t considered direct patient care?? We are 100% direct patient care on the floors and every unit. Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?
