Just wondering.... to see if I should re-do my resume. And my interview has nothing to do with the temp job...
My interview is at a dentist office for customer service... and my temp job was in the mall selling puzzles.

If the job was with an agency you put the agency down, not the puzzle company. Put down the entire time period you worked for the agency, and describe it as "contractual marketing". And you are wrong about them being related! Customer service is marketing too, you have to market to keep clients and to obtain new ones. Turn this into a positive during the interview...you gained experience talking with people from a variety of back grounds, you learned to overcome objection, blah blah blah....
Good luck with the interview!

It depends. If you need filler then go ahead a put it down, if you can justify why it was so short term. Also if you have any good expereicences or knowledge gained from the position that you could talk about. I think there is a big corrilation between cold sales in a mall and customer service. If you were successful there then it show people skills and patience. You should try to have at minimum 2 jobs listed if not 3-4. But I wouldn't go back further than 4. Best of luck!

Well there are 2 ways you can handle this. Personal reasons means trouble to prospective employer. That's a definite no no. Payroll payment issues? Could be you asked for more money so ditto. Better to say serious default in payment of wages but even that isn't perfect. I'd say pursuing other interests or career break. This doesn't slate your former employer and at least allows you to get to the interview stage where you can explain more clearly the situation knowing you won't have blown your chances of even being considered.

I wouldn't, Two weeks at a job counts for nothing. Well, almost nothing. Only if you can prove that you learned something useful in those two weeks

Only if you learned a new and useful skill that can be viewed as beneficial to your future jobs
