Won't future employers ask about the random, three-month hole?
- quaquaqua1 7y agoI would either extend the dates a bit, or simply say that you relocated during your job switch. At one point I had an extremely patchy employment history over 2 years where I was job hopping every few months. I now just wrap it all up into one experience under one employer. Nobody has ever cared to question it, and if they did, I would explain that I relocated twice and that what's more important is the current skill set I bring to the table.
- gwbas1c 7y agoAfter reading that, I looked up someone on LinkedIn who we (my employer) fired who I worked closely with. Yup, he did that. In such a situation I'd just omit some of the short stints from my resume, and then when questioned, I'd be honest. Say something like, "I had a rough period where I really hopped around. In my opinion, listing every short stint on my resume would make it too hard to read."
- Someone 7y agoIf you just use years on your resume, a three month gap doesn’t even show up. Worst-case, you have “2013-2019” and, next, “2020”. Why would you be more specific?
