Leave 2 month job off resume? |
Since graduating from college in 2002 I've held 3 jobs and recently started working at a new company. The job was misrepresented and I wasn't being properly trained I brought up these issues to my boss and he explained that it was his fault for being too busy to train me and to get help from my co-workers who were busy themselves. Clients were frustrated with me they didn't care that I was new and all the stress was making me physically and mentally sick. After 2 months I realized this job was not for me and they knew I was unhappy there so I quit without having another job. I know that is a big no no but I couldn't see another way out. I didn't have time to take off and interview because I was new so I didn't see any other way out. I'm happy I left but also very nervous. If I leave this job off my resume will it show up on a background check? I'm not sure how this works and how it would be found out. I don't like to lie but I don't want to look unreliable because I am a hard worker. Leave it off absolutely! It is of no help to you in getting a job and can sink your chances of getting the job. As a manager I would not give you a second look with that two month job on your resume. I would put it on still - and if they asked why you were only there for a couple months explain to them the job was misrepresented to you just as you explained above. To me it depends on the type of job you left, why you left it and if it could be applied to your expierence background. Most employers realize that no one stays in one job for a lifetime anymore and your age may make it understandable. If I were interviewing a young person like yourself I would take into consideration your age and the fact that young people do jump around from job to job until they settle into a particular industry. When I hire someone I tend to look more at education, expierence, presentation and attitude. Good luck. Most applications ask you to "list all jobs you have held in the last years" - leaving it off (and having to explain it when you're asked what you were doing in those two months) makes it look like you're being untruthful. Put it on your resume, and note that you left to find a position that was a better fit for you & that offered better training. If everything else on your resume looks good, any good manager won't use this one thing to ignore your qualifications. Leave it out. The only companies that can get a listing of all your jobs is either social security or unemployment. If I put down every job I had for 40 years, there would be over 50. check this link its good http://workathomejobssitelist.blogspot.c... . |
