If you resign from a company after 3 months, would you remove it from LinkedIn and resume? Essentially like it never happened.

      OP
      I’ve thought about extending previous but then as some people are mentioning.. won’t that come up in employment verifications during the background check?

      It can be a small adjustment. For ex: I started working from Feb 2nd. I can mention it to be Jan 31st and give a bullshit reason I had already started onboarding with them. So to the eyes, it looks 6 months when it really isn't.

      Although I agree that it may be a red flag but small deltas like this shouldn't matter for someone inspecting it this closely.

    It's better to show that 3 months in resume than to show employment gap. Indian recruiters are obsessed with reasons for employment gaps. Then don't understand taking a break or cutting self some slack.

    So yeah I have 3 months stint in my resume and in LinkedIn

    Follow up question: What is the shortest duration you would put on your Linkedin and resume?

    It would be terribly , and needlessly, distracting to mention it in the resume and then answer questions on it. Unless you want to make a point, best not to direct attention to a short stint that does not add to your progression

  • I had such a job.. for couple of years.. I didn’t put that position on my LinkedIn.. but after that .. I added that position because by that time it didn’t mattered..
    but I always put all the positions on my resume.
