Work Experience on Resume?
Hi, I am University Student doing my Undergrad. I started working part-time in Bank this but last month I felt that my grades were affecting (was hard to manage both) So I had to quit. I only worked there for 4 months, Can I put that experience on my resume when applying for jobs next time (only 4 months)? thanks, student 21
Can you put volunteer experience on your resume? What about part time positions?
I volunteered at one church for 9 months once or twice a month. The second church I volunteered for over a year and helped anywhere between once - three times a month. I ran social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I worked on the church bulletin for about 5 months (pretty much working on it every Wednesday-Sunday). Do I need to put exactly how long I was doing each thing for or just put the months I was working on it for?
Should I include a 2 month job on my resume?
yes you should
Should I include an 8 month job on my resume?
Short-term jobs can be tricky to list on a resume. If you held a job for just a few weeks or even a few months, you might not list it at all. But what about a job that lasted eight months? Well, you might have a few options, and you'd need to consider how each of those options would play out when the hiring manager reads your resume.1. If the job is relevant to your current job objective, you should list the job, using only the year (don't give the months). For example: Sales Manager, 2015.2. If the eight months spanned two calendar years fairly equally (say, Oct. 2014 - June 2015), list both years but no months. For example: Sales Manager, 2014-15.3. If the eight months were mostly in one year with one or two months in the second year (say, May 2014 - Jan. 2015), then you could list only one year or both years — it's a judgment call. I'd lean toward listing one year, like this: Sales Manager, 2014.4. If the nine-month job wasn't relevant to your job objective, you could leave the job off your resume as long as it didn't present a gap in your work history (for example, if you list only years, no months, in the entire work history section, the gap may not show). But if leaving the job off your resume causes a gap in employment history even if you use only years, then you should list the nine-month job no matter how irrelevant it is.

Should I include a 1 month job on my resume?
I totally would advise that you do!Even in just a single month, you have acquired skills!You also would not want to have any red flags pop up- like a gap on your career history dates, small though it may be.Last thing you want to be is in an interview and they bring that up and press for an answer- and you say that you worked somewhere during that time, yet failed to put it on the resume.It is best to disclose everything upfront. If you left after a month- tell them it was to move ahead in your career.Try to use whatever experience you gained during that month in your resume to show that your skills are very transferable.Good Luck! ;)Amanda Goodall, The Job Chick
Should I add on my resume a 3 month job?
I had a very similar situation years ago. I left a large company to work at a startup. Within a few months I realized that the culture of the new organization was one I could not support. Of course, I did not want to go on interviews and say, "Well, the CTO stole IP from a competitor and the IT staff was told to dumpster dive for trade secrets at another competitor's place of business." For the next two years (while I was with one organization), I did include that short stint at the startup in my resume... because I had learned a lot that would be valuable to future employers. Eventually, it became so insignificant a period of time that I dropped it entirely. It's not even mentioned in my LinkedIn profile or my CV.Always have your resume current. Resumes are used for far more than applying for a new job. They are important to your professional networking activities. If you post your resume to a professional networking service (like LinkedIn), a chance encounter with someone you might want to add to your network is easily handled: just connect via the service.
