I had been out of work since August 2023.

I had been out of work since August 2023. Every month since October I had interviews and some sort of progress, but always coming up short for every role. At then end of April, I connected with yet another staffing agency and was quickly able to take on a role that was different than any previous roles but still within my capabilities. I needed the work nonetheless. So exactly three weeks after I started, they let me know that the company is having some financial struggles and they would have to let me go. So I worked about 2 hours yesterday and went home. It's back to the drawing board now. I guess one question I would have for the audience here is, should I include this job on my resume? Otherwise, my last job will be listed as ending in July 2023. Ugh.

    I would add it as a temporary role. Also see if you can get someone with whom you worked there to endorse you on LI and to say that they would hire you again if there was a permanent role.
