When applying for a job should you list your job you quit?
473096
Coming from someone who has had to fire employees for not including their entire work history on their application, you must be honest. Usually there will be a note on the actual appication stating the consequences of not listing all employment over the last 10 years, typically they will not hire you or terminate you when they realize you falsified your application.  Most employers who interview applicants realize that things happen on the job and it doesn't neccesarily mean that you are a risky hire.  If the reason you quit doesn't look favorably on you and you are asked about it in an interview, provide a truthful but brief explanation.  The more details you offer does not mean they will be more likely to see you side of the story.  You also do not have to list that former employer as a reference, list employers who will speak well of your strengths.  Bottom line, BE HONEST.

Depends on what the cause of the voluminous jobs is.  If it is part time jobs, leave the irrelevant jobs to the position you are applying out so that you can highlight the ones you want the hiring management to ponder. If it jobs that you had to ditch because you didn't like them or they didn't like you, omit them for the part-time position you had. Or if it was really short, like a month or two, just skip it.  If asked, advise that you had an intermittent job that you left out for brevity but would be happy to discuss.

just don't put anything...and when the interviewer asks about the gap you can tell them yourself...look at it this way...Why would you want to list unemployment for staying home, when it doesn't benefit your resume in anyway...and you can verbally just tell them the truth of the missing job history area...Interviews are people too and they understand that some times...this happens.\nputting down that you were a house wife during that time, doesn't benefit your work 'real' work history...and it's not going to dissuade the employer just 'cause you didn't put it in there...you have a valid reason for not being employed...and since it's true and you recognize that it is not pertinent to the resume..it looks good for you in more ways than one...1. your not trying to complicate your resume with non-work type duties and 2. you are proving yourself to be an honest person by just telling them that you weren't working due to....x..y..z...\nalso, i am not saying that house wife isn't a job..it totally is!!!  i'm just clearing up why not to post that info. on your resume...

You should mention it towards the bottom of your cover letter.  Or you can also mention it during the interview.

If you plan on getting unemployment benefits, you have to be fired.  IF you have a lot of money coming your way if you quit, then you have to weigh your options.  If they will be good references too, then I'd probably quit.\n\nWhy are you being forced to quit?

you were hired as a floater. that's still your job. if you quit, you will not likely receive unemployment because the conditions of the job haven't really changed. you serve an important function. you are the back up plan. if someone is out sick - you are there to help. if no one needs coverage, you still have a job and paycheck. stick with it.

Type up your two weeks notice. Remember to state how wonderful it was to work their and how much you enjoy being their. Tell them you would love to stay, but you have recieved a job offer you can just not refuse. They should be very understanding. Heck , if it is that bad, they may ask where you are going and if you would keep them in mind. I used a similar strategy when I left my last job. They asked me "What can we do to make you say? Would a $2/hr increase keep you here?" That is the response I got. I left that job just before it shut down with a few good references, both typed and in word. Good luck

Most employers push a code of ethics.  Really, you'll feel much better about yourself if you tell the truth.  Living with yourself is the most important thing.  If they don't want you; then you don't want them.  You do not need to "mention" anything on your resume.  If they ask right out, then that is different.  Try really hard to improve your attitude about life.  Everything else (including a job) will fall into place after that.  Good luck.

Yes, they would let you go in a minute if it was good for their business, what is good for your life? You do not have to list them on any application form.\n\nDoes it feel morally wrong, do not do it and tell the 2nd employer that you told them the hours you were available, but they have messed you up.\n\nYour choice.

Yeah I had the most boring, over worked job, low pay job, unappreciate job in the world.  So I wrote a resignation letter and when I was about to leave the Chief Manager, called me and asked me if I wanted a transfer to a position he is sure I will love. True to his word, I love my present job and am lucky coz its doing wonder to my skills, reputation and most importantly resume.\n\nI am of the opinion that you start looking for another job.  What is the worse that can happen apart from getting another job with more money.

Never quit a job before you get another one.  So start looking for another job right away.  When you get one then you can quit.

You should check your employee handbook to see if there are any procedures  set forth regarding resignations.  So far as I know, there is no requirement for you to say why you are leaving and I sure wouldn't volunteer a reason.  Before you mention your resignation to anyone else, tell your boss first and do it in private. You should put your resignation in writing.  Just say you are resigning effective July    , 2006.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of your company for the last      years or monhts  or set up a meeting with him with the reason being a personnel matter.  Gather all of your strength and be pleasant to your boss and all of your colleagues and don't say anything negative to anyone about your boss. I don't know how long you've been there.  If your boss coerces you to give a reason, say your taking a little break for the summer and don't say anything more and keep saying it.  Practice before hand if you must.  Take a lesson from Star Jones Reynolds--she surprised Barbara Walters in front of a gazillion viewers with her resignations and Barbara felt blindsided.  It doesn't matter how bad the circumstances. You don't want to embarrass or anger (and it wouldn't take much with this guy) someone who has been your boss.   Good luck in your future.  Don't be surprised if he says you don't have to stay for the 2 week notice period.  So, expect the unexpected and be calm.  You are in charge this time.

Apply for more jobs, you will never never know, if you knew you don't like you present job would you still apply for it in the first place. Just give your best every day while you're looking. I believe you are a professional.

Generally, I would mention it in the cover letter.  But, I do not like job postings that you have to mention it at all.  Some companies may try to low ball you. You can include it in your resume as well if you like.  If they ask you for your current salary..be vague like low 50's or ask them what they think is a good salary to be safe.

Dear Sir:\n    I am leaving employment as of  xx/xx/xxxx.  \n                 Sincerely yours,\n                      xxxxx\n\nKeep it brief.  If you want to leave a reason, you can but it's often better to say nothing.

If you can avoid the reason for leaving that would be ideal. Otherwise, explain to the interviewer that you were "leaving for advancement potential", "leaving to work closer to home", "leaving for a better work environment", or "leaving for a career change".

I always try to stick it out for a year, but if you are truely unhappy and there are no changes to job that can make you happy then it's not a bad idea to call it quits.  If there are things in your work environment that need to be changed, talk to your boss and see what can happen.  It never hurts to ask. Don't forget to give at least a 2 week notice and ALWAYS have another job lined up before you quit your first one.
