Is it ok if I omit a couple of months short experience (trying something new at a startup abroad before business school). Now when I apply for a job, do I need to put this on my cv and do I need to put it on the application system and background check? Or should I mention it at all during an interview? I don’t find this experience relevant for many of the positions that I am applying for, especially for traditional industry.

If it's just a couple of months you can leave it off your resume, but if you have any income reported from it you do need to include it on the background check. If it's 6 months or more you should probably include it on your resume.

Well the income report is abroad. I did put it for business school application though

Include it. Novel experiences help you stand out. Put it under “additional info” at the bottom.

Traditional industry really appreciate novel experience? I thought they would think I have no idea what I am applying for or just trolling. But good idea, I would include it under additional info. Would you suggest I put it in the application system as well (workday)?
