Bad fit...I'm so unhappy.
If I put my resume out there, would you consider me? Thanks! |

| I think some companies might see that as a red flag that there is something wrong with you. Or that you are a job hopper. Is it possible just to leave that job off of your resume since you've only been there for two months? |

| Depends. How long were you at your former jobs? |

| Then how do I explain the gap between the last job and present? |

| How old are you and how many jobs have you had since graduation? |

2 months? That's nothing. You took some time to find the right job. You went backpacking. You helped a grandparent transition to assisted living. You had knee surgery. Who knows. |

| If it's the only bad job for a while then it wouldn't hurt, or would definitely hurt less than a gap/lying about the gap to an interviewer. |
