What is the very very least amount of time to leave a job on a resume - 3 months?

I would lean more towards 6 months, but I think it really depends on what the job was and how it contributed to your skill set and story related to the job you’re trying to get.

oooo yah that's a good question. 6 months seems reasonable, unless the role holds heavy significance in some manner and the reason for leaving was not unfavorable in terms of a reflection on you as the employee.

I asked a similar question in a different bowl and got very different answers. Essentially, they all said: ‘who cares? It’s about you, not them. Leave when you want’

On the opposite extreme, I’ve heard some advocate for staying at least a year minimum.

I stayed a year because I have a history of job hopping. If you do not, you can probably get away with anything less than 1 year

As someone who hires a lot. 1 or 2 brief roles with an obvious reason to leave is not a if deal but job hopping a a huge red flag. 3 months of experience in a role, unless it is a special project would not equate to experience for me. You can barely find the bathroom after 3 months.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
