Years vs. Months on Resume?
Brushing up my finance resume and wondering if I should include years or months (e.g., 2022 - 2023 vs. August 2022 - August 2023).
Do people care if your resume only shows years? If it were up to me, I'd prefer to list my experiences in the years format, as I have a short stint (~7 months) that is somewhat concealed if I present my experience in years. Understand the details of this eventually come out if HR explicitly asks / during background checks, but I'm wondering what I can do to present my experience in the most favorable light possible to avoid being screened out of any potential opportunities.
Unless you’ve got like 20+ years of experience, I think putting years only makes it look like you’re trying to conceal a short stint somewhere - just my opinion though brotha
honesty is the best policy here - instead of lying by omission and sweating during interviews wondering if they know, take the time to frame an explanation for the shorter tenure (e.g., bad cultural fit)
Minima ut molestiae reprehenderit ad quo. Ratione ad non nihil asperiores. Qui laboriosam alias porro modi. Ratione ea quia ipsum magnam. Maiores ex quae praesentium quidem corrupti accusantium. Distinctio ipsam pariatur eos.
