Hi all! I have a pretty unique situation and could use some advice. 3 months ago, I was laid off from my job after 6 months. It was a complete surprise, and I know layoffs can happen to anyone but I’m 25 and wasn’t expecting it so soon. I really struggled to get back on my feet and eventually came across a job that sounded pretty good (especially considering I needed to pay rent).
I just started the job, and it is different than expected to say the least. I was definitely misled on the role, there is no real growth, and I would like to leave as soon as possible.
My question is – can I just leave this job off of my resume and “pretend” I am still unemployed and searching from my layoff? Or do I have to include my current role? I don't want it to look like I'm job-hopping, I was with my first company for 2 years. But I’m also not sure if I excluded the company that the next company would later see it on tax records or something.
