lost job on orientation. should I put the job on the resume?Rating: (votes: 7) Sorry, but if you received a check from that job, you need to include it on your resume & job applications. It will turn up the minute a potential employer does a superficial background check on your SSN. FWIW, I am philosophically opposed to termination for a true one-time 'mistake' such as you described, especially if you caught and reported it. Human beings are flawed creatures and we all make mistakes. When you list it on your resume, just list the dates of employment... no need to include anything else because this is covered on job apps & interviews. I would rely on "wasn't a good fit" reason for leaving. This would not be terrible, as everyone can probably understand how a new grad would not make it in such a high pressure area as ED. Would your ex-manager be willing to serve as a reference? If so, this may offset the negatives. |
