How long would you work in a new temp job (that’s not a great fit) before you put it on your resume and LI? Would you put it on your resume and LI if it gave you relevant experience if you were only there for a couple months, or wait until you have 6+ months or a year? What if the new job is temp, short term or contract?

Unless you have something else to put on your résumé to fill in that block of time. I would add to my résumé once I’ve been there about 6 to 7 weeks actually. No reason to have a gap on your résumé when you can simply put that you’re a temp in the headline of your job title.

There are no rules about how long you can work somewhere before you can put it on your resume or LinkedIn. In fact, I often wonder if people I see on LinkedIn really work where they say they do. I think the relevant experience factor you refer to could be the determinant. If there's something worth saying about the job, then you might as well say it. If it's a dull temp job and you're doing nothing interesting, there's no need to bring it up.
