Is it OK to include my 2 months working experience as an accounting clerk in my resume? I resigned in my previous job last week and it was my first job because my rate was too low, 75% in the minimum provincial rate only…

I am going to apply this coming May 1, so I need suggestion…

Please, please help me!

Thank you all in advance.

In general, the fewer gaps you have in the employment history part of your resumé, the better, and no gap should be unexplained.

Since the OP is seeking advice, this is better suited to IMHO than GQ. I have also edited the title to indicate the subject.
