Applying for new jobs when only in current one a few months

[originalmavis]

If you've only been in a job a few months, should you make reference to this is a covering letter for a new position?

Do you mean explain why you are looking for a new role as presumably it will be obvious that you have only been in your current role for a few months from your CV?

No, I wouldn't worry.

The job obviously isn't up to scratch. Lots of people leave jobs within the probationary period.
