In 2022, I worked in company A for less than 2 weeks and then left to join my current company B.
I don't want to show that less than 2 weeks on my resume for future opportunities because I was still in onboarding process, no codebase access and no project was allocated . I realized joining company A was a mistake.
Reason why I left was at the start of interview process I confirmed that I will get to work on React and they confirmed. But when I joined company A, I got to know they have 0 active React projects and all are in Aurelia (not even Vue/Angular). It was the 1st time I heard about Aurelia framework and decided to resign as I was already getting other better offers. I had discussion with Company A HR and manager and explained them reason of my resignation, they accepted and at the end of month I got salary of those 7 days in my bank.
Is it ok if I don't mention these 7 days in my resume because I did nothing there and was still going through onboarding?
I don't want to show it on my resume because it might indicate to my future employer that I am unreliable and can leave quickly after joining but actually it was not my mistake. They lied and I was lucky to have other offer. I fear future employers might not even shortlist my resume due to those 7 days.
Suggestions?
Leave it off your resume, should be 99% fine
Yeah don't mention that in the resume. If HR picks up for the gap, you can explain it later. A resume is not legally binding, you can skip whatever you want
Don’t mention it on resume, doesn’t make sense. But if HR asks just call it out with the same reason.
Skip it, and mention the duration in terms of months like Jan-Jun
