When writing a CV there may be times when you have to put something on that doesn’t look great such as a gap in employment or short employment period at a number of companies. Although you will often have the chance to discuss these anomalies when attending an interview, you may not even get that far. I would advise putting a little comment next to the anything that looks a little odd, just explaining briefly the reasons why. Employers to not have the time to read pages and pages of information, but a little note to say why, is perfectible acceptable.

If you are invited for an interview, be prepared for any questions they may ask you about it. Be honest but try and explain exactly why you had to leave a company after a short time. Some employers will not be concerned with such anomalies, but it is better to be prepared than find yourself on the spot.
