Well due to the fact that your background check would show that you were employed there its best that you include that job in your resume. If you get called in for an interview, just explain to them what happened at that job. I'm a truck driver and I lost my last job due to a fuel spill which resulted from my not being present to monitor the nozzle which popped out of the tank by itself. I've told this to all my prospecting employer because it shpws I'm honest and I feel its better to hear it from me first than my former employer.So just keep adding it on your resume. Someone will open their door of opportunity to you.

Anginita, you didn't mention if this was a contract position, Mark is right I would not list it since it was such a short time. If it is contract don't list it.

Sorry I just noticed your response to Mark and yes do not list it, I have worked allot of contract positions and this happens more than once and if too short a position I leave it off. If any question arises just say it was a short term contract assignment. List it only if you think it will help in a new position. Just be careful not to have too many short term or they'll hold it against you, even though they're hiring for a couple of months go figure. My best wishes for a job for you that will go permanent.

I would do either one. You are going to have to explain it no matter what. If you explain it to anyone with a soul they should understand your explanation. Somethings are too crazy to even try to figure out man!

Hi, I believe that you leave it off of your resume. It was too short of a time. If a potential employer does a back ground check on you and that job comes up, simply explain that after being in that job for a couple of weeks that you realized it wasn't for you. Good luck!

I worked for a construction equipment company back in 2007 for about three months. It was also through an employment agency. The job at the equipment didn't work out, and I was able to find other employment at the end of the three months. After that, whenever I submitted a resume, I gave the name of the employment agency and the name of the person I dealt with there, not the name of the equipment company that I worked for. It's never been a problem.

Do not add this to your resume and there is no way they will know you worked there unless you put it on your application or resume. The only national employment database is owned by the government and is used for social security and unemployment claims. So the probability that a company you will apply at will know you worked a short time for that company is almost zero. And if they do mention it you can say it was "I forgot about it because after a short stay I determined that there was no good fit and I left to pursue other opportunities."

I am in the same situation, while in training I was being shown how to do job wrong! I keep wondering why is everyone complaining about the job duties being done wrong,we'll I figured out that the person that was training me was doing me wrong on purpose just so I wouldn't make my probation period was over so I tried to ignore her and pick up, I seen nothing wrong with that I mean just a few days away from being over my probation period. This lady became completely rude when I say rude I mean very rude. So I couldn't take anymore and just walked well as I was walking out to take my break she said you leave your fired. She said you know just leave and don't come here, so I did just that..

I believe in full disclosure so that there is no potential for concerns later when the job pops up. Having said that, it was a temp-to-perm position and i believe you can add that to your resume as a one line addition to your resume. In this day, it is not unusual to find viable applicants who have had to enter the market or keep their skills up via the temporary employment industry. You might have more so it allows additional entries without creating a potential gap.

Unfortunately, I bet it was a matter of economics ad not you at all... when a temp to perm employee is hired, there could be a 60 to 90 day window that if you don't "work out" where the agency will allow the company to rescind your employment without penalty of paying the "service commission" owed to them. Seems like you should have been informed about that by the agency, but #2 might not have given them a reason or that you just were not needed after all. Likely, the 2nd manager saw it as a way to save a few $1,000 dollars on her first day by eliminating the liability of paying that commission. It is most unfortunate, but things like that do happen. Since she was not invested in you, you had not reached the permanent threshold, she had no issues cutting you. Wonder if the 1st manager might write a letter on your behalf, as a recommendation from that firm? She must have seen something good in you, your work habits, ability to be trained, etc. that would speak volumes. Then if some future employer asks why you were there for only 6 weeks, you can show them this wonderful review and simply state you were hired on a temp to perm basis, in the middle of training there was a change in management and since there was no explanation given, you had to assume the new manager restructured and eliminated the new position for whatever her reasons were.

Hope this might help.... as a hiring manager, I would have accepted the 1st manager letter of rec and your explanation, especially when all of your other positions were longer term. I usually only took exception when there was a string of short term jobs (not temp/perms) as it raises a red flag that someone might not stick around very long. Temp/perms though are a great way to give both parties the chance to make sure the position is what you want and for the employer to evaluate that you are well suited for the tasks required. To me it also shows that your were actively working and not just waiting for something to come along.. make it a positive that you have a good initiative and work ethic.

Wishing you better luck in your search and that you find a better company that is more fair in their treatment of their employees.

I interview a lot and have had one contract job after another so I would leave it off as potential employers might view you as a job hopper. If it comes up just explain what happened and move on.
