I quit one job about three months in. It was out of sheer boredom. The job was remote and the work expectations were so low that it was possible to deliver by working only an hour a day.
There was nothing challenging to do -- just everyday CRUD apps, and the code base was a nightmare of poor decisions. It was driving me demented after only a few weeks and I quickly reached the stage where I had to leave for the sake of my sanity.
It doesn't appear on my CV. I try to blank out the whole experience.
- thunkshift1 4y agoDoes having blanks in resume invite more scrutiny from recruiters?
- DarrenDev 4y agoNo. I work as a contractor where gaps are common. Also, two month gaps can be invisible or near invisible. You end one job at the start of June and start the next at the end of July. That's a two month gap that doesn't translate to a gap on a CV at all, as you ended Job 1 in June and started job 2 in July. Gap could be two days, two weeks or two months. For recent jobs I only ever put months on my CV, older jobs I put years. (2006-2009). My feeling on CVs is to not over complicate things. Keep the narrative as simple as possible. And learn from the three month mistakes so you say no to those jobs next time.
