Re: Need job advice

Hmm, some resumes only list "selected professional experience" which assumes you're not listing absolutely everything. But my instinct tells me it's fine to list it, and if asked, just say that it didn't end up being a good match. Do you happen to have a colleague at that job (not your ex-boss) who could vouch for you if needed? Anyway, "firing" can sound scary but it doesn't sound like your situation was that big of a deal. Too bad they didn't let you resign, but a bad match is a bad match, didn't have anything to do with your work ethic.

In the mean time, you could pad your resume with more recent experience by volunteering somewhere, or something.

Good idea about the volunteering! There's a library near where I live, so I might check to see if they have any opportunities there.

I think it was also a case of general inexperience in working in an office. The last few jobs I had before that were work-from-home remote positions or super-casual so it was a little bit of a culture shock to go to an 8-5-regimented-breaks-send-hourly-updates-deadline-driven position. I think there's at least one person there who could vouch for me, but unfortunately I didn't really develop any relationships with my co-workers.

I'm worried though that potential employers might interpret "bad match" as meaning I may be less versatile than other candidates and less able to multitask.
