resume issue

DH has had bad year. Laid off in January in his restaurant GM position for not hitting goal food cost numbers.He was at this company for 1 year 5 months He had a new GM spot by Feb and was again just let go.

He does not want to list last job that he had for 5 months and just leave blank. I think he needs to list it b/c a spotty resume looks worse. He is no longer interviewing for top GM spots and is looking into positions under GM.

What do you think?

 

 

Re: resume issue

  • I think in this economy that it is fine. No one is really going to question it. I also in general am against 'hiding' things in a resume or attempting to make things look other than they are. It could come out eventually - what if they call a job and they say "he worked here" and it's not on his resume. Also you never know how people are connected.

    I vote leave it as is.

  • Why was he let go from the restaurant he only had for 5 month? 

    I would say leave it as is.  He can always explain in the interview process why.  I agree, you never know how people are connected, and it could eventually come out.

    Definitely list it. Omission is lying in my book (since it's the same field and so recent...of course not all jobs are going to be listed on every resume).
