Layed off after two months

getsome

I was recently let go from my previous employment after two months, reason was they were very busy and needed someone with more product knowledge as they cannot spare the time to train me (I think I was just Christmas staff they just wouldn't tell me). I am wondering if I should put this job experience on my c.v, as I left my previous job for the one I just got let go from?

Not quite sure how I am gonna explain being let go after two months.

Say it was a temp Christmas position.

My previous job was part-time for a year and a half, would it make sense to say I left for two months Christmas contract?

Was it full-time? Did you learn anything new in it?

Yeah it was full- time but I didn't learn anything new.

What you say, then, is pretty much the truth - you left a part-time job for what you thought was a full-time position, but it didn't work out for reasons beyond your control. Make sure you list the two-month place as a reference.
