Include 3 month employment on CV or not?

[JeffyWho]

Hi everyone, I am a recent new graduate as of July 2019. Took a position back in November but had to wait on hospital credentialing and therefore I only started in February. Had a unfortunate first job which only lasted 3 months. Just wondering moving forward is this Better to be included on my CV or better being off as it identifies me more as a risk?

Lying on your cv identifies you as beong high risk.

A week or two?  Meh, could prob get away with it but 3 months?  Prob should list it with good explanation.

Yeah this is just part of the cost of a 3 month employment. You might miss out out on an opportunity because someone judges you for only working 3 months with someone. And when you get an interview, you will just have to explain. But lying is way worse

You can use a 3 month stint at a job that was horrible as a great learning opportunity. If you are forthcoming and clear about what issues there were at your last job, you can steer clear and ask informed questions during your interview to avoid the same situation again. Remember, interviews are as much for you to find out about the prospective employer as they are for choosing YOU.

How does the saying go? , "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."

The only way I'd omit a 3 month stint is if it were PT while I was working FT somewhere else.  That way there's no gap.
