I am a fresh grad and I work in a IT company for 2 months plus and resign. Now I looking for new job, should i put the 3 months working experience in my resume?
If i dont state the working exp, the interviewer might ask what have I done after graduate for half year?
If i state in the resume, might it leave a bad impression to the interviewer?
Pls advise....

if I were you, I'll write it. And prepare for my reasons for the coming interview.

If I were you, I would leave it out. 2++ months ain't much plus they will bombard you with more questions.

I think it's ok to put your working experiences in your resume, if it is relevant for the next job that you are going for. Most importantly, you should be able to tell your interviewer what you have accomplished or learned within your work tenure, regardless how short it can be. And of course, be mature and constructive if asked why did you leave after 3 months.

<<I am a fresh grad and I work in a IT company for 2 months plus and resign.>>

Can you explain the reason that you left in a positive manner??

If yes, put it in. If not, no.

why did you resign? better be a good reason

IMHO better not put it, because the 1st thing that will be in the next interviewer's mind would be, you can leave that company after 2+ months what would make you not to quit our company in the same manner?

If u think u can express well why u want to leave or u have a good reason then put it in, else just leave it out

Think a reason, write it in, at least you got some working experience.

I'll put it in. Certainly u have a reason on why u leave ur job. May it be environment, office politic or the job doesn't duits what u want or what u want to pursue for your future. Well this is just ny cents to u

Only if can come out with a good reason

Just be prepared for being questioned by the interviewer.

actually I resign is because I hope to change a field.....My last job is programming but I really cant enjoy the process of programming....I am aiming for support, helpdesk this kind of job....
Then I told honestly to the interviewer during my last interview.....but the interviewer seem like no happy with this reason....and I didnt get the job....
So, I wonder should I still tell honestly or not...

No happy ... why he/she should feel that way ...

I guess the reason why she's not happy with your explanation is because you might not like the helpdesk job role in future (and hence quit).

support n helpdesk is a low level grade in IT. (from my point of view, meaning tend to do an easier job rather than doing any programming. )

back to the point.
Ur reason is not strong enuf to convince why u quit ur job. State more reason on y u like support, etc kind of job. eg.saying u r young wanna explore more fields and decide where you wanna go in next future as u are not comfortable yet in programming. BTW support or helpdesk do require some programming skills.

leinnz is right.
Like what I've said earlier, be constructive and optimistic when you answer, don't give the impression that you are quitting the job to run away from problems, rather elaborate on what you want to achieve/learn in your future career path. That will be more convincing because you show the interviewer that you know what you want in your future career.

Maybe the answer that you given is not convincing and gave a negative impression to the interviewer.

thanks a lot for the advice.....

Shanny,

Actually, there are two questions that you need to answer:

1) Why do you leave your last job?

2) Why do you resign even though you have not found a new job yet?

And, you are failing to answer question number (2). So, you have NOT been honest.
