unfinished contract...

no i won't... i don't see the need to put that in my resume because it will look bad on myself... the fact that i didn't finish my contract will look really bad on my employers even though it is due to mismanagement... so it is much better not to include it... take care and have a nice day...

definitely I will not. I had done my resume with white lies. But of course I see to it that I would not be caught lying. LOL I had done this because I found it not good if I will tell all the truth in my resume. Sometimes it is the reason why I won't be hired.

Yes you may or you may not. Since you resigned for poor management, you do not need to include it in your resume. Why? Because during the interview, you cannot tell to the interviewer about the poor management of your previous Employer. It is part of professional ethics not to disclose any bad or negative story about your previous job. They might be a bad implication to the prospective Employer that you might do the same thing, which should not be.

It customary to not put an employer on your resume that was less than six months, if you have to explain a gap in your resume just let the future employer know that it was temporary or part time work. You can fill in the gaps if you want to but it not usually enough time to be considered a full time job.

Hi Asliah, I do not think I will include that period. I will just say that I work on temporary assignments, and then leave it at that. It does not seem good to tell potential employers that you work only a very short time. The only reason to put in short contract is when the company closes down, then you can safely put that in.

Based on your discussion, I would recommend not to include unfinished contract in your resume. It might cause your rating as an applicant to go down as below average and if the interviewer might question about your work experience, It will be difficult to defend such matter. It will bring a significant impact on your application status since most employer would like their employees, and or applicants to dedicate themselves and to have loyalty with the company. There's a 50/50 chance that your application will be accepted since employers doesn't want their applicants to be of poor management.

As someone who in the past was in charge of hiring and firing employees, I always look at the gaps in their resume with suspicion. For me, if there is an unexplained gap, then I usually pass on that person because that is an indicator of one who has the ability and predisposition to prevaricate. Honesty is my top priority. However, I do know that some human resources expert say that a short stint in a company is not worthy of being in a resume. So you need to decide what kind of image you want to present to possible employers so that you can decide to put a short stint in your resume or not. If your employment is continuous, a 4-month gap might be easily picked-up.

I think it will ruin your resume if you include to mention it there but it will also be a dishonesty to the company your are applying to. I would rather be placing it in my resume even if it doesn't look look and just explain to them during the interview as to why i didn't finish the contract. Just as long as you didn't do anything bad and your reason of not finishing it was valid then you are safe to write it down in your resume.

I think you should not include this, it may create negetive effect rather, we should inclde include only those, that go in our favor.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . HAPPY NEW YEAR

For me it would depend on what line and type of work you are seeking to be employed as I am in the Medical Field so any gaps must be explained. So if you feel you will get a negative response simply leave the gap and state that you simply took time off for a break.
