I'm more worried about the perception than the pay at this point.. getting the right fit job is more crucial right now

i see.. what if its like more than 6 months.. should i still leave it out? i tot there is this perception where you are considered less employable if companies think you can't get a job for more than 6 months?

is it better to appear unemployed by leaving out work experience or show you are job

so do HR prefer (or less likely to chuck my resume out) if i include short term work experiences (few months) or leave them out and appeared to be unemployed for months?

both are soo hard to justify, sigh
