How long Should I be employed with an employer before listing it as a reference on my resume?

I'd go with enough time to cover in processing, training, and having some tangible work experience to talk for under your belt before listing it without hesitation.And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high. ~Ayrton Senna

Honestly, it depends. I think everyone would agree that a two-month contract that's your first experience should be listed whereas if you took a two-month contract between jobs after 10 years of experience it shouldn't be listed.
How much work experience do you have? Did the position include more advanced tasks than your previous one? Are you able/ready to explain your short stay in a positive way? Is it relevant towards what you're applying for? -

I agree with Akaricloud. Quite a few factors that come into play.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Last 9yrs worked for a major wireless company working in Tech Support..supporting customer with issues with Smartphones, Tablets, email, etc.
Held various temp positions for a yr Non related to IT.
Currently working in a Tier II Support position at a major Cable provider in the Call Center. Been here about 2 months. Hours suck, but benefits are good.
Supporting Internet, Phone , Cable.. Would this be defined as a help desk position?“The Only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it keep looking. Don't settle” - Steve Jobs
