[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not dishonest to leave a job off your resume. The PPs claiming so are confusing an employment history for a resume. Those are two different things, especially when the employment history is submitted for the purposes of acquiring a security clearance.

A resume is typically one page and is a summary (not a play by play) of your most relevant experience. It aught to be tailored to each job you apply for, ie - not every company is going to get every single detail available, because that document would be too long. This 2 month temp job that didn't work out for OP is not relevant, because the truth is that she's still just trying to get back into her field after being out for two years. Her first attempt didn't pan out. No need to let people know that when she's trying for her second go at it.[/quote]

WRONG, you list all jobs, it's not a summary. Gaps usually means your hiding something.[/quote]

You are a weirdo. You really only include jobs that are relevant to your career experience and the job you're applying for. Are you one of those people with a 5 page resume because you've still got Baskin Robbins counter girl from 1992 on there?[/quote]
