You don't have to put the company on your resume. If the job is a fit but the atmosphere isn't (for example, if you're working as an Admin Assistant - and you really like the work but not the place you work, you can add it to your resume because it shows practical experience for potential employers).
If you just don't like the job - period - I'd leave the job off your resume. Keep in mind that interviewing with new potential employers may spark the question about your latest job.

If you don't put it on your resume, then you'd have to explain (in your cover letter) the reason you took this time off of work. And if you say that this time was taken off, then it is a lie... and you don't want to lie on your resume... so the best thing to do would be to put it on there. You could explain in your cover letter that the job you have now is not challenging you the way you'd like to be challenged... or maybe word it so that it does not sound like you are putting that job down... maybe say that you are seeking a more challenging position.... or something like that. Good luck!

This is strictly your choice. A resume shows your APPLICABLE experience related to your next job. If it doesnt relate, just leave it off.
On one side, it shows that you got experience in that job, however, it also shows that you can't commit to a job (bad). Another side is that simply putting it on your resume allows any prospective employer to contact your past and perhaps your current employer. If you leave on good terms, it may be ok provided that you can give a valid and acceptable reason why you left.
My opinoin is since you are still fairly new at your company, i would leave it off and explore new employers.

YES!
Because if they find out that you are working and you did not mention it on your resume they will think that you are trying to hide something.
Put them on and if they ask why you are looking, you can let them know. Be honest, let them know that it's not a great fit and that you are looking for a good company to stay long term long. DO NOT use them as a reference, tell them that they are unaware of you looking for employment.
Good Luck!

Depends on if you will be able to justify your leaving the co. I would suggest dont show it. Its better to show you were taking a break. Two reasons, the new employer might think you are not stable, if they ask you to explain why you feel you dont fit in, it might open another pandora's box. Best and easy way is to not mention it. A side advice, one month is too less to judge a job. I wud suggest u stick on unless its really getting to be a pain.

Don't really bother. Just chalk it up as "still looking for a job during that time", and find one quickly.

If you use a functional format, you will be able to focus on your skills and abilities rather than WHERE you worked or for HOW LONG.
If the job added to your skill set, use it. If not, don't.

I would, because you are working there. BUT I wouldn't use them as a reference because they might get p'd that you are looking for another job.
