Its time to update my resume, and I'm not looking forward to it. Do I pretend that the last 3 months didn't happen? Do I put them in and try to explain them at an interview? Do I pretend I'm still working there?

I dunno. (I'm leaning towards #2 as that is the honest thing to do, but I'm unsure its the smart thing to do.)

I too say to go with number 2.

It was only for three months. That is the for the employer to make sure he needs you. Just because you were let go at the end of that period does not automatically mean you were a bad employee. Some companies hire people to see if the position is worth keeping or whether they can get along without the extra person.

Put it in, it is not a reflection on your part so they only need to know that they decided not to keep you on. skjalm has a good point, if they ask, tell them the split was because the job was not the one you were going for and could not do something you are not going to do well. Tell them you like to give your best to a company, and if you are not, then it is better for you and the company to part ways.

How you say something can make anything sound in your favour.

Hope this helps.

Ta Ta for now.
