Is it possible to omit a short job from my application?

Hey all!

If I have a job that lasted less than 2 months on my professional career, can I leave it out of my application/resume to MBAs? I am asking because I got offered a better job with better pay and location that is better to for my career just 2 weeks into my new job. Is it possible to do so, or will the adcoms find out?

 

Unless it's right after undergrad, they are either going to catch you lying about end/start dates (assuming it's more then say, a month) or they are going to ask what you were doing during that gap (if you leave it as a gap on your resume). There is literally no reason to lie about it because if you talk about it up front, you have all the control in how to frame the job. But if it comes up later, you lose some of that control.
