Background:
Worked in first company for 7 years. Then got headhunted to join 2nd company. Got laid off after 1 year due to company downsize. Had 3 months gap before joining current company.
I'm currently 2 months in new company and all I want is to leave as soon as possible. I can't bear working in a work overloaded position that requires to OT until 8 or 9pm everyday and I stay 1 hours commute away from office. Worse, the company's work culture sucks and my team is understaffed. My manager and team members OT until 10 or 11pm almost everyday. But generally, whoever are executive level and above work until average 9pm everyday. I leave at 7pm sometimes and colleagues tell me that I'm leaving early.
I can't justify my salary for this kind of work life. Those younger colleagues earning less than 4k are probably earning more than me because they are able to claim OT allowance.
The work I'm doing now is different from what was stated in job description I applied for. I'm from procurement background but doing sales related tasks. My manager told me there's some restructuring and decided to let me focus more on sales costing because I have cost saving experience. Well, I don't mind learning something new but worried that the knowledge and experience gained will not contribute much to my career growth which is towards procurement.
Also, the company sets a rule that whoever takes unpaid leave will automatically not be entitled to increments and bonuses. I'm under probation period now and will only be entitled for paid leave after 3 months. I'm planning to start applying for jobs once I completed 3 months. I just want to work for a company that pays reasonable for long term, not a company to sell my life.
Questions:
1. Should I include current working experience in resume?
2. If not, will I look bad for having 6 months resume gap? (Laid off in February)
3. What is the shortest working experience acceptable on resume?
4. What is the acceptable resume gap?
5. Should I let interviewer know that I'm actually working when asked about gap?
Need some advice on this. Appreciate if anyone can share their related experience as well. Thanks!!
Age? If can stick it in for a year would be good else try using recruiter service and explain your conundrum. Excuse you can give is company proactively looking st restructuring which is a very strong reason.btw you worked at first company for 7 years is very good. The time down not an issue .Worked in first company for 7 years. Then got headhunted to join 2nd company. Got laid off after 1 year due to company downsize. Had 3 months gap before joining current company.
