Is 3 month work ok to put down on a CV?
Hey there you awesome people! Thanks for taking the time to click on the question
Your intelligence that is much higher than mine will be needed now
I’m 19 going to be 20 in February, live in London
I’ve had 2 weeks work experience (with my school, helping elderly people)
I’ve worked 1 year in a restaurant (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) no p45 or anything just salary as cash in hand.
I then moved to another restaurant and worked there for 1 year same thing.
I now am working in Subway but I’m going to leave after only working there for 3 months, I’m leaving because I’m going abroad for 6 to 7 months with my grandma. Subway created a P45 and all those documents that you guys know better than me.
I have a reference from my last restaurant work
My question is that I would like to get a reference from Subway, but would it look ok or bad if I put down worked at Subway for 3months?
My CV work history will look something like this:
2 weeks work experience (2009)
1 year worked in restaurant (2011-2012)
1 year worked in restaurant (2012-2013)
3 months worked in subway (2013-2014) (Leaving in January)
I think the only work that will appear on a background check will be Subway because they created a P4. The restaurants where just cash in hand no pay slip nothing, just turn up work for 3 days then get paid by the boss. I do have the restaurant as a referee if needed.

Put down any work you have done no matter for how long the duration, even any unpaid work, it will show any employer your eagerness to work.

It's real tough atm eh. IMO and my experience though, I think you should put the travel in. Employers respect that.
Also, at your age, tough as it is. Take an apprentice scheme. The jobcentre WILL put you on one.This is your best bet to avoid the decline that is happening

yep its fine, it shows continuity of employment, plus you will be using that P45 with your new employer so will make Sense to have it on your CV
