Early career professional desperate for career advice
Hi, I'm a SWE from India who got laid off in December 2024 due to an internal restructuring from a startup company.
I already had a gap of around 4 months and got a job in May in another startup
But due to the availability of a much senior resource, the company decided to let me go in exactly one month.
I was on probation and have already gotten terminated due to this reason.
I wanted to know if this would show up on my EPFO Since I did draw my one month salary at this firm and I'm not even sure how I can handle and answer this short stint to HR.
Here are my questions,
-
Do I even mention this short stint in my resume, it feels like a waste to me
-
Will they be able to find out about this during background checks
-
What documents do you guys think I should collect from my previous company other than my offer and joining letter and salary slip?

- remove this stint from the resume
- They won't, they will only check for jobs that you writie in resume or in BGV
- Only Form 16. As you won't show this job on resume, so other documents don't matter
You have no clue how much your simple answer helped, I'm a normal fresher hustling everyday and was extremely worried after these mishaps in life.
Thanks!
