This is highly industry-dependent. When I was working in IT and systems admin, I had a lot of contract/temp jobs that were still valuable experiences. My resume after finishing university would have been blank if I left those 3-6 month contracts off because that’s how you get your foot in the door in a lot of fields.

Oh for those really short contracts I just make dates up. I can never remember when I started and finished. I just look at the calendar and make sure I started on a Monday and finished on a Friday and it’s roughly within the right time range. Never been called out on it.

  I put month and year for start and end dates and keep my CV updated regularly.
