Should I Put A Job A Had For A Week On My Cv?

[Jordan0526]

Basically I quit my first job after a week because it was costing me more to travel there than i was making as well as i was working 8AM-7PM 6 days a week and it was commission based, should i put that i worked there on my CV or just pretend it never happened?

I would just pretend it never happened.

[murraymints]

would not mention it...let you come across as flighty

[Baldric]

Ignore it

What else are you going to put on your cv though? Theres nothing else to go on it?

[Marshwarble]

If you weren't actually in debt it may have paid you to keep the job while you looked for another? It's too late now.

I remember your question from a week or so back about your last job.

I must admit I did wonder how long you would last in the job (see my reply at the end of your question)

No, don't mention. It doesn't bode well if you didn't assess the cost to reward ratio was not in your favour.

I can tell you what specialist think regarding this question. If this job didn't give you some meaningful expereince, there is no use to mention it at all. Moreover such short period of time will make the recruiter sucpicios. When I ordered my CV from Resume Writing Lab, they advised me to avoid discussing this question during the interview.

Personally I would omit it.

Hi! I also had a similar problem. I'd worked in agency for several weeks and when I applied for another job from the same field, I doubt whether I need to include a previous job or not. I decided not to include it as I didn't gain any outstanding and proper experience. It wan't useful. So, I think you shouldn't include information if it brings no sense!
