Short-term jobs should be included on a resume in the same way as long-term jobs. This typically means including them in a "Work Experience" section, along with the job title, the name and location of the company, and the dates of employment.
A brief summary of the responsibilities and accomplishments in that position should also be provided. It's important to include all relevant work experience on your resume, regardless of the duration, as it can demonstrate to potential employers that you have a consistent work history and have acquired a variety of skills over time.
