Hi! I am almost 2 months into my first job but I do not enjoy my role although it is related to my degree. Looking to jump into another industry but should I put my current employment in my resume?

I will be honest with my employment history during the interview just afraid it would hinder interview opportunities. At first, I was worried about not finding a job thus I settled for this role. However, I don't see myself working for long in the company so I figured it would be better for me to find something that I'm truly interested in now, instead of spending another 1 to 2 years learning something that would not value add my future employment. Hope to have some career advice, thank you!

Alternatively, have a discussion with your current supervisor to see if there is a fit elsewhere within the company.

It's better to find somewhere where you can thrive and look forward to work everyday.

Hi,

If you stay less than a year in a company, it will be discounted by most future employers, unless you've achieved tremendous results in a short amount of time
So the choice of including in your resume is just yours to take and spin a positive learning experience during your future interviews.
