Hello everyone,
I (18M) was recently hired at a hospital. I start the first week of May. It's an entry level, full-time job and at the time that I had applied, it seemed conveinent since it is only 20 minutes from my house. I do not have a car so I just planned to take Ubers. From the time that I got hired, I have had to prepare for an abrupt move for around early June. It would stretch my commute from 20 minutes to about 45 - 1 hour depending on traffic. I was orginally planning to keep my same plan and Uber to current job but I'd be spending a lot of money on it.
I have found the exact same position (pay is a bit better at this one) at a hospital in the city that I'm moving to. On the job details all it says is "experience is preferred". I understand experience is experience but putting 1 month of a job on my resume just doesnt seem practical to me, It covers orientation and a bit of training. A friend (who also works at a hospital) suggested I lie on my resume and say that I have been working at current job for a year. I'm very hesitant to do it; they defintely have the resources to fact check that but my friend told me that they really only stick to contacting refrences that I put down. I haven't applied for the job yet but I'm going to within the next couple of days. I plan on getting a car as soon as I have the money for it but this won't be until after I move. I'm really conflicted and need some advice on how I should go about this.
