Is it bad to not mention a former job?

[aphex]

Got an interview today for a new job....

Im currently working at a job as we speak, but have only been here for a month and a half, and my reason for leaving is because they are constantly working me overtime and not paying me a penny more.

Would you mention this job?

I just graduated from college in august and could simply say that i took some time off before looking for a job...

Suggestions?

It's not required for you to tell them. Your going to quit that job if you get this new one correct?

A potential employer will question 'holes' in your resume.

List the job.

Put the job in your resume to prevent holes, and don't mention it unless asked if you don't want to.

If they do I'd mention the overtime though, as it isn't strange to actually want payment for the work you do.

There is no real hole...

I graduated in the middle of August.

well if its only been a month and half and he just finished in august. if he's not going to get anything positive from his current employer, i don't think its necessary. its not much of a hole.

if the job has nothing to do with the position you're interviewing for.... it should be ok.

i left two 'odd jobs' off my resume.. and noone questions them.

If he specifically asks what i've been doing since college though, i dont want to lie....
