Should i bring this up??



i am currently searching for a new job, i am not happy at my current job, chances are, i will not give proper notice, should i bring this up to a potential new employer, i do not have my current job on my resume, i've only been there a few months. any feed back?

List your current job on the resume but tell your prospective employer you do not want your current employer contacted because you don't want him to know you're looking elsewhere. Explain to the prospective employer you must give two weeks' notice before you can start the new job. When you quit, do work out the two weeks unless your current employer is willing to release you sooner. It's the right thing to do and your future employer will appreciate getting an employee with some ethics.

I have intereviewed and hired many people and whenever someone told me during an interview that they didn't have to give notice at the their current job, I wouldn't hire them. I figured if they would bail out on one employer, they would do it to me.
If it's not on your resume then don't mention it. Just tell him/her that you have taken the last couple of months to travel or doing something that was constructive. I would treat it as though the job never existed.
NO! That's a bad sign for a potential employer. Just give the proper notice, you're only hurting yourself if you don't.
