Subject: Should I Include a Short-Lived Role on My CV/LinkedIn?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently an Account Manager in the tech industry with a solid CV, but I encountered a small setback in my most recent role, which lasted only two weeks after a 2.5-year tenure. After taking a career break to travel with my fiancé, I’ve returned to the job market and facing challenges in securing interviews. In the past, I’ve typically been headhunted, so this situation is quite new for me.

I recently started a position at a local company, but soon discovered that the EMEA VP I interviewed with had left just days after I started. This raised several concerns about the company’s direction, and I decided to leave after two weeks due to ongoing red flags.

Now, I’m unsure whether to include this brief role on my CV/LinkedIn. Given its recency, would it be better to show that I’m currently employed, or should I remove all mention of it? I’d appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you!
