Comment on Would you quit a job three months in?

Comments

I quit a job 3 weeks in because my coworkers were dead inside. Employers prolly won't ask about such anomalies on your resume unless it looks like a pattern. GTFO. Have a prepared response just in case

I would simply not include it in my resume - especially with that brief a period - but I would be surprised if anyone actually noticed a gap (I sure as hell wouldn't). But then if they did ask @monsterofcookie is entirely correct, it's not their business, have a canned response ready in case, I'd go with something generic along the lines of "the work didn't seem relevant to this job so I didn't include it" (side note: you should try to tailor your resume to each application even if just a little), or in Silicon Valley tech companies at least we didn't have a good culture fit (do not disparage former employers, even if true).
