Hi, I am working in the IT industry and have over 10 years of experience now. I am joining a new organization; however, I do not want to include the experiences with a 5-month tenure. What will happen if I omit these experiences at the new company? These experiences do not provide relevant skills for my current profile. Are there any potential issues because of this? Please suggest.

Dear Dip, Why should you omit it unless it has some black marks? Even then, if it comes to light in future, it may pose you some trouble though you would have convincingly explained the gap.

Evaluating the Relevance of Short-Term Experience on a Resume
That 4-5 months of experience is of no use. There is no productive work in that tenure. It will just increase my resume length. It does not make any sense to mention the experience on my CV. However, I will keep all the other experiences as they are, with the proper experience and relieving letters.
I consulted with some other people and received the reply that keeping the information on your resume is just a matter of personal choice. My resume is primarily for marketing purposes, so it is fine if I remove older experiences spanning more than 6 years.
Please advise.
