    My last permie role was a month and the one before that 4 months. I have the both on my cv and linked in.

    It is odd and agents and interviewers almost always ask what happened, I explain the 4 month role was mis-sold. It was supposed to be a pure dev position but it required a lot of Linux knowledge (including setting up installations on customer sites). The 1 monther was caused by me being told my son had a 25% chance of being born with a lethal genetic complication which could not be treated, it he had it he would be born, scream for a few days in agony and then die. Hence I began contracting to get money in case we needed to go abroad for treatment.

    No one seems to mind.

      I've got a both 3-day and 5-day stint on mine. They were third party software installations and configurations requiring skills that the companies didn't have in house.

      Also a 7 weeker that was a properly planned and executed data migration with contigency built in which ended 2 days early.
