Which jobs should I include on an application?

[Nikia]

Some of the jobs which I have applied for have requested that I fill out an application. All applications have a work experience section. On my resume, I only have two jobs listed, which were both after I graduated from college, because these jobs are usually pertinent for the jobs that I am applying for. Between the two jobs, I had a one month temp assignment that may be pertinent but I feel weird about listing something that lasted only one month. During the first job and until I had worked a couple months at the second job, I had a part time fast food job which I wonder whether I should list.
Should I list the jobs that I held during college and those summers to make money? I held one steady part time job at the college dining hall. Other than that, I had a different job every year during the summer starting right after high school graduation, including three short term temp assignments the first year. To list them all really makes me look like a job hopper. With my circumstances and each companies circumstances, I was not in a position to work for the same company each summer and it had nothing to do with my performance at each job. None of these really taught me pertinent skills. They coule be useful to show that I was able to work in a variety of environments though (office, service industry, manufacturing).
I graduated from college in spring 2000. I have been at my current position since May 2001.
The jobs that I am applying for that usually require applications are lab positions. If I were to apply for a part time position say at the grocery store, would that make a difference as to which positions I list?

1. List as many as will fit - you could be perceived as lying otherwise

Since you're relatively new to the job market, all the experience you list here makes you sound like someone who's not afraid of hard work - working two jobs, working during summers and breaks and while you were in school all makes you look motivated, flexible and adaptable to a potential employer. You will reach a point in your career where these jobs don't matter (when you have several years of experience to list) but for now, they make you look good. Not to mention you've been in your current position for 4 years - that's not a job hopper. In today's market that's above and beyond any employer's expectations! :)

Don't worry about the temp jobs - you can spin it. "They needed someone for a month and that's what I worked." You weren't fired (unless you were) so it doesn't make you look bad.

Most employers check your background now so it'd be a much bigger strike against you to be found not being completely truthful than it is to have worked so hard. There's usually only so much room on the application to list previous jobs though and applications are usually written in a way that requires you to list jobs chronologically. If doing so prevents you from listing more relevant experience on the app, attach your resume that highlights those more relevant positions you couldn't fit on the app.

2. Make something good up within your qualifications......

3. How about summarizing the various

short time positions in a bullet format towards the bottom of the resume? You could head with Additional Work Experience. Let them figure out where it fit in your school career.
