I was just let go after 6 weeks for "not being a good fit" despite no write-ups and perfect attendance. They're giving me a month to finish up here and (hopefully) find another job. Will I have to explain this brief employment gap to future employers, or should I even mention this job on applications?

Maybe don’t mention it on resume or anything. Even on LinkedIn. If they ask you if you’re working right now you have to come clean and say they went a different direction or if business is legit slow you can saw that

Might be beneficial to ask some recruiters.

Please name drop company

I would suggest that you remove it from your CV and, if asked, say that you took an extended holiday somewhere.

Anyone here have comorbid anxiety and/or depression? How did you know, and how do you manage it now? I think I might be struggling with one or both and I’m trying to figure out how to proceed. Not currently seeing a therapist or medicated, managing based on strategies I learned from an ADHD coach back in college, so at minimum I would need to find a provider, which has been a barrier (cost-wise, finding someone with experience with ADHD, etc.)

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
