Should I Include a short teaching stint on resume?

Question

I taught at a school, for only two months, and left, after giving my one-month notice. I am not sure on how to handle this on my resume and in interviews.

I left the school because it was out of control, and very isolated, and found it hard to be so far away. I am a bit worried about how to handle this on the resume, and in an interview.

I also thought about not including it on the resume, but I did get some good experience there, and think it would be valuable. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would leave it off of your resume if you feel that the focus during the interview may simply be to explain why you left. I was in a similar situation and I choose to not mention this, as I feel it deters from discussing my true strengths. Do you have a lot of other experiences that you can list? I do not think it is a negative that you left the school, but believe that you should focus on other experiences. You don't need to mention every job on your resume. Best of luck.

Answer 2

It's always good to put where you worked- no matter how long or the circumstance.
