I'm working for an IT company since 2 months, i did it because I was desperate. i have been planning to change my career and move on to financial sector, did an internship previously in financial sector and have management degree. I just received an email notifying about interview in one of the reputed financial company.

How should I mention my 2 months of employment in resume or should I leave it off ? I'm currently employed by an IT company.

Given that the current job is in a different field from your current qualifications and your internship, it should be okay to include and explain why you are leaving after such a short time.

Just respond with something like:

At the time there were no roles in my chosen field available, so I needed to take on an interim role until something more appropriate came up. This role came up sooner than I expected, but I would very much like to work in [my chosen field].

You should definitely include the experience on your CV. Working history is very important to include if you do not have many jobs you have done. Make sure you include very obviously your relevant qualifications and internships.

    @Nepallic Why are you saying all this? That sounds like a follow up question (without actually asking a question).

You should definitely include the employment in your resume, as it does count under experience.

How should I mention my 2 months of employment in resume?

You mention it in the same way as any other experience. A similar answer of mine shows you how you mention the experience on your resume(and/or) LinkedIn

  • Since I'm currently working on this company; it would look like Aug-Current.What if the recruiter ask why you want to switch so fast etc. and I don't want to make myself look like job hopper.

  • You can tell him that you went to the IT sector for gaining experience at software, but owing to your keen interest in finance(mention your internship here), you have made the switch quickly to pursue a professional career in finance.
