How to Handle Short Employment Stints on Your Resume Without Hurting Your Job Prospects?

I have 3 years of experience in the software industry. I have had 2 short employments of 10 and 11 days. Should I mention these short employments on my resume? I can see the two PF account numbers in my service history, and I have resignation acceptance letters from both organizations, which means I didn't abscond from either.

However, including these employments on my resume for future job searches may not reflect well. How should I handle this situation? Please guide.

Hi, As PF was deducted, it's better to show that experience. When you were properly relieved, why would you want to hide it? You can present 3 years of experience as primary.

@Vmlakshminarayanan, as I mentioned, including those 9-10 days of employment will make it very difficult for me to get shortlisted in future job searches. They may even ask for unnecessary reference checks for that short period of employment.

Hi, okay, but if you hide, there are chances of the same getting revealed during BGV?

@Vmlakshminarayanan, yes, that is why I asked what is the best thing I can do. Just because of my small mistake, I don't want to risk my entire career. Please advise me on a better and smarter way to handle this situation.

Hi, the smart way is to disclose the same, and maybe you can share some justifying reasons for the short period of employment.

Disclose where? In the resume? Or during the interview?

This question seems to be asking about the appropriate context for disclosing certain information. It appears to be inquiring about whether certain details should be included in the resume itself or if they should be shared during the interview process. The decision on what to disclose in each scenario can vary depending on the information being discussed and the specific requirements of the job application or interview.

Hi, there is no need to show two appointments in your CV where you worked for only 10 and 11 days. What experience you carry is what matters. The PF deduction is not significant, but showing it will lead to more complications. It would be better to mention if you had worked in your previous job for three years.

Prabhat Ranjan Mohanty Sir, suppose my next employer finds out about these short experiences. Will there be any problem? Please suggest some smart ways to handle this.

And also, I want to mention that those two short employments are from two years ago, and I have been associated with my current employer for the past two years.
