Nah that'll torch your resume for years. Unless you're a total rockstar otherwise, I'd be terrified to explain a 6 month stint.
- ghaff 4y agoAs a one-off, during a rocky economic time? Not really. And I say that as someone who has mostly (except during dot-com) long employment times.
- Tao332 4y agoThen don't put it on your resume!
- giaour 4y agoYou only need to worry if you have a series of very short stints, especially if there's any gap between them. But one six month stint is fine, especially if you can explain it away with something pithy about how the economy tanked and the company shed a significant percentage of its workforce.
- no_wizard 4y agoDepends honestly. If you have a collective experience that affected the industry it’s easy to explain. It’s more of a red flag if it’s a constant even during good times IMO
