For example, in 2003, I was fresh out of college and the job market was slow. I applied at a retail store so I could have some beer money. I was honest that I was looking for a job in tech and that I wasn't going to stay forever. Then I said I'd probably be there for 3-4 months.
I was there for 2 weeks, and I don't list the job on my resume.
Was I telling the truth when I said 3-4 months? I certainly gave them the longer end of the estimate in my head.
Was I telling the truth when I left the retail job off of my resume?
