<prompt> Human: Hi friends! I apologize if this is the wrong thread to post this too, and Im using a throwaway because everyone in my office uses reddit! Brief career history. I graduated in 2016 with a Masters in Public Health and immediately began working in the payer side of healthcare. Maybe I just got stuck in a bad department, but it was the most toxic place I have ever worked. Bosses screaming at each other, talking down to low level employees their words, not mine, and the project I was working on was often referred to as a bait and switch that saved us money at the expense of our customers. They refused to sign my Reasonable Accommodation Requests for GAD, so we had a more or less amicable separation. I was there for 6 months of work, but 7 months from my offer date. My then-fiance landed a job in DC, so I moved out here with him and found a job working in Business Development at a marketing firm. I didnt do my due diligence, however, and discovered the BD in this case was cold calling. I was there for 4 months before finding my current job. My current job is great. I have literally built a real strategy and operations department, have lots of clout among leadership, and enjoy coming into work everyday. Its not my FAVORITE space ever, but I know Im learning valuable skills and knowledge that will transfer to whatever industry I move to next. Ive been in my current role for about 1 year and 2 months. Im not actively looking for another job, but 1 there is talk that our CEO Owner has been meeting with other firms with the intention of selling and 2 my fiance and I broke up not so amicably. Id like to move either to NYC or Chicago, DC just isnt my scene. Im waiting things out, and wont begin actually applying anywhere for a bit, but I want to start attending networking events, informational coffee interviews, etc. Of my three experiences, Im currently planning on putting my first job 6 mos and then my current job 1 year 2 mos. I was promoted a few months back in my current job so Ill have to roles to list. Is it ok that Im leaving out the first job I had when I moved to DC? I was there for four months, so it leaves a sizable gap in my resume 5 months total, but the job has nothing to do with what Im currently doing. Thanks for the advice, if theres any!!  <response>: Id leave it off. Its a little counter-intuitive, but the resume is purely about presenting yourself in the best way to get an interview. You dont want irrelevant information on it because it is distracting to the goal. You arent being deceptive, youre just leaving off information that doesnt relate to the position youre applying for. Keep in mind that you will need to list that job in any application you have to fill out that asks for a comprehensive list of employment.The interview is a great time to bring up and downplay your lesser experience. You can mention that you had a job briefly when you first moved, and then transition to the experience you actually want to talk about. The people interviewing you will understand the situation.
