Hi! I started working in campus recruiting at a big bank right after college. Recently, after 3 years, I left and have moved to a smaller accounting firm to continue doing campus recruiting. I left the bank because I was becoming bored with the cyclical nature of the work and thought that a change in scenery/ team would bring back the joy into being a campus recruiter. I realize it has not and I am looking to get out of financial services and into the entertainment industry. Since I have only been at this new company for 3 weeks, should I put it on my resume or leave it off? I don’t want to intentionally lie, but I haven’t been doing much yet since it’s been training. Any help would be super appreciated ? Thanks!

Hi! Good for you for trying to find a better fit! You can leave off your current role if you don't want to include a short stint. Everyone has had a gap in employment at some point, so it wouldn't look like a red flag. Also, a resume isn't meant to be your life story - it's more of a marketing tool to highlight the skills and experience you have that are relevant to the direction you're looking to go in.
As a side note, you may still find the cyclical nature in the entertainment industry (where I used to do HR), since schools are on similar quarter / semester systems, but if that's where your passion lies, maybe it'll bring back the joy you're looking for. Best of luck!

I have left many things off the resume.

Since it's so new, I think it's fine to leave off. Best of luck!
