Most people have taken on a position that was not a fit for them in the end. It's best to openly discuss any jobs that you have held that were not a fit. This information will assist the interviewer in being able to place you within their organization correctly. Be sure to end your answer on a positive note, discussing how you bounced back from the misstep.

"Yes, you will see that from March to May 2007 I held a role as Executive Business Development Manager with Company XYZ. This particular role was not what I was expecting and had little to do with management and more to do with cold calling onto C-suite level clients. This activity wasn't nurturing my plan to grow the management side of my career, so I resigned after just two months. Luckily I landed a wonderful job immediately after and grew with that company for the following six years."

"I have not taken a position merely to have a job. I am cautious who I work for and am happy that my discretion has worked well for me and my career path."
