To leave this off of my CV?

I finished uni around 6 or 7 weeks ago. A day later I had moved home and started a job in a call center (A) as a stop gap.

I had seen another job in a call center (B) that was closer to home and had opportunities to progress in line with my degree. Although not what I want to do forever it is great for the next 5+ years to build savings and find my dream job.

I got the job in call center B and started last week. As a result I was only at the job in call center A for 6 weeks.

I was just wondering if it is worh putting call center A on my CV? My previous jobs are both 5+ years on my CV but I feel if I add on a place I only worked at for 6 weeks it might put employers off hiring me?

So would it be better to see a 6 week gap or 6 week employment on a CV?
Sorry for the essay!

I would do what @ZoeWashburne suggested.

My dream job is in forensics/crime, the place I am in now has a department in this sort of area but it's not what I want to do forever. Doing it though would be great experience and look good on my CV. It is also important I build my savings as I may need the cash.

I was told very short employment scenarios will look like I was fired which was my main concern. I want to sort this now because I know all the dates and details so like to keep it updated straight away if I ever need it.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll do what you have suggested and leave it on with a note that it was a temporary job.
