It depends on your work history. If you need that month for experience, then yes, put it on your resum. Right now, I'm working in the Administrative field as a temp, and any permanent jobs require years of experience. Every month counts, and only those that are working in that field count.

Spooky's right, though. Be a man and finish your two weeks. When I mention only taking off one day at max, I don't mean to actually take it. If you finish your job strong, you won't mind putting one month on your application. They'll call and find out you had a great attendance and didn't cut out early. Your current boss will be more likely to give a positive reference than a neutral-positive reference (by that, I mean giving a "good" reference, but it's obvious in the tone of voice that it wasn't THAT great). I worked at a job for two months, and they gave me a letter of recommendation. I'm still not sure why they let me go, but even in that short time, I impressed the General Manager (He might be a flaming queer, but a reference is a reference).

Those two months put me over 2 years of pure Administrative experience. With that, I could start seeking permanent positions. Of course, now that I graduated, I don't need that as much, but experience is experience.
