<p>Is it bad to leave out your current position on your resume/job applications when applying for other jobs if you only been there a short time and have no experience to speak of? Should you at least mention it? Is it ethical or unethical to leave out the job? What about if you are applying to government positions? Is it against the law to not mention a job you have?</p>
<p>You could change your resume work heading to “relevant experience” if you truly felt you gained nothing from your current job and wished to leave it off. As for me, I do not mention all of the positions that I have held in the past few years on my resume (e.g., being a TA). I don’t recall ever having to fill out an exhaustive employment history for any jobs I’ve applied to.</p>
