[quote=Anonymous][quote]I can absolutely guarantee, double your money back, that no parent will scrutinize your resume enough to notice if you don't put them down.

Wrong.

Like the other MB, I would absolutely ask about the gap. Any parent who doesn't want to know the work history, and who doesn't pay attention to multiple short tenures or unexplained gaps, is a fool.

That said, OP - i think the advice to include one at least is good. You have lots of solid tenure on your resume, and presumably good references from them? If I were interviewing you I would want to know why the last two weren't a good fit. So spend some time trying to figure that out, or at least in trying to come up w/ a way to answer that question that doesn't seem flighty.

I've been a victim of a short tenured job because I picked poorly - so I would understand, and I would respect your honesty. If I sense you're trying to cover something up (like pp seems to suggest) then I would be concerned and it could easily put you in a more questionable position.

Good luck.[/quote]

Another MB here.

I agree with PP. I would absolutely ask about the gap. Sure, the nanny candidate could lie, but if I suspected she was lying, I would probably be disinclined to hire her.

If you include both positions and explained why they weren't a good fit, I'd have more respect for you and that honesty would definitely be a plus and increase the likelihood I would hire you.

In any case, good luck, OP. I hope your next position is a great fit.[/quote]
