Should I leave this job on my resume?

Sorry that I can't get my resume to format right onto this page.

Anyway my question is should I remove that tech store repair job and face a gap in my resume until July or just keep it? Also the problem becomes why am I jumping around with jobs so much. Besides that should I call myself student in the summary? Any opinions will help, thanks.

Leave it on there. It is related experience.
If anyone is upset that you left a tier 1 support role quickly then they are insane.

My 1st helpdesk job was only 3 months and no one has ever said anything negative about me leaving so soon.

The only thing that is odd is that you are not working anywhere at the moment according to your resume. So they may think you got laid off

I've been out of work due to personal reasons but I'm back in the game now. I'm going to see if I get CCNA Voice knocked out in the next 2 weeks but yes I need to start applying once again. Thanks for the advice definitely helps build my confidence.

Same here. I worked there for 3 months also and it was only $10 an hour. If people can't understand why I left, then I probably don't want to work for that company anyway.

I'm going to echo the same as these guys. I only worked Tier 1 helpdesk for 4 months before I got bored and quit. I still list it. Haven't been asked about it yet.

I think the 5 month contract or whatever happened is fine to be honest. I think where you may receive pushback is not having a job currently. I've always felt tension in an interview when I wasn't currently working.

As long as it's within 90 days you could reasonably explain to a potential employer that the position did not end up meeting the job description you were hired on to perform.
