Nowadays, it is EASY to check backgrounds on resumes to see if people are lying. It doesn't look bad to a potential employer as long as you can eloquently state why the job was so short-term. ANY good interviewing book can handle that one.

Just don't do what I did, tell employers you were let go two months after being Employee of the Month, and you still wonder why that happened..........
