So, it doesn't seem like I was intentionally hiding the job. I just don;t feel that it relevant to the position that I am applying for.

It is a position you held for a month. Depends.. What was the job, reason for leaving, was it seasonal? Does this show an employment gap? It may show up depending on the background check company they used and if that employment is listed in a work number.
I wouldn't put it on my application if it was not on my resume and its not relevant to the position you are applying.
I strongly suggest that everything on your application and resume be true. It is very important to make sure dates of employment match (months/years) position held and any diplomas or degrees you hold are accurate and true as most companies do check this.
Most (if not all) companies practice only giving dates of employment and position held when checking employment references. So again I strongly suggest that all this information be accurate.
I do this for a living.. I cant tell you how many people lie about things when its not necessary.

You dont have to put every job, the most important job is your current one and your last one as this is where they will go for references. Saying that you can choose who you give as a reference. Do not add the last 5 years as someone said unless you have only had 2-3 jobs in 5 years. These people get so many CVs if they see your long continuos lines of different jobs, its straight in the bin. They cant be bothered to read 3 page CV's thats what the interview is for. Keep things simple, do not state the salary you was on and outline main skills you learnt whilst in the role.

I wouldn't put it down, #1 if its not relevant to the position your applying for there is no need for them to know and #2 only having the job for 31 days does not look good at all so it's in your best interest to leave it off.

yes. it's a great trump card that your employer can pull out at any time if they want to fire you. they would have no worries because your application clearly states that lying is just cause for dismissal. unless, ofcourse, you are not serious about this job and are , as well , not concerned about them firing you at any time in the future. also, background checks do find these little 31 day jobs you're speaking about. especially if it's a corporate employer, versus a little mom and pop joint on the corner.

Definitely No. You shouldn't put down a 31 day job on your resume. They will never know if you leave it off.

No, I don't think you should unless you quit because the store closed or something like that. Otherwise it will only make the interviewer look at it and say "hmm.... wonder why they only worked there for 31 days...."

No, unless its relevant.
It will look like you dont have stickability or that you were fired.
You can always mention it in the interview if you want to.

No, a month is not a significant gap in a resume.
If anything, it will make you look like you're really anal about details.
