Context engineer in manufacturing. I’ve been at my current job for 5 months. It’s not great and I’m looking to move on. However, I want to stay long enough that I can have it on my resume without awkward questions. How long do you think that should be?
I would feel weird listing anything less than a year. I feel like it takes a year to really get up to speed on a job, in engineering anyway, before you’re out of training and really say if it’s for you. (I’m not talking about actually miserable conditions like bad team, bad safety, etc.)
Just list the years in your resume and not the months. Then you can skip over a short term job.
