“Is It Okay to List a Short Job as an Internship on My Resume? Help Needed! #JobSearch #ResumeTips #InternshipDilemma
I recently graduated and landed a position in my field, but got laid off due to project loss. Now job hunting again with limited experience. Considering listing this as an internship for skills gained, but worried about verification. Is this a good idea? Your advice, please.”
Why don’t you put it down as what it actually was, and if it gets questioned, explain what happened as you did here?
Honesty is the best policy.
There is no reason you’d benefit from using the word “internship” if it wasn’t an internship. Just say you worked there for 2 months then they had layoffs due to a project/customer loss.
Just say what it was.
