Job Hoppers 

Are you a job hopper?

Are you a job hopper?

Have you been hopping between jobs in the past few years?

Job-hopping is a negative to prospective employers, depending on the reasons it can also be a positive. Perhaps you may want to self examine the reasons why this is happening to you. Am I making the right choices?

You have an interview and your prospective employer reviews your work history. Interviewer ask you, why so many jobs in the last past three years? How would you respond to the question? Many people dreads hearing this question.

I have done some research and found a few simple rules to follow.

Be Ready - Before the interview, practice your answers; be prepared. Negative & Positive - Employers will see the negative aspect of your work history, but you can change it to a positive%u2026 updating your skills, seeking a more challenging role and so forth. Resume - Include in your objective the reason you are seeking employment. For example, to obtain a position where my skills can be utilize in a stable company. Perhaps in your prior job your skills where not utilize the way you expected or it was not challenging to your expectations. Soft Skills - Focus on the experience you gained by working with various companies. Highlight your ability to work with individuals in all sorts of levels. For example, clients, business owners, tenants, seniors. References - Of course, if you left in good terms, why not ask for a reference. Even though you were at your prior job for a short time request a reference. The prospective employer will see it as a positive. Stability - Explain that you belong to an organization or are involve in the community and you been part of it long term. Experience - Your focal point should be on how you acquire your skills from prior jobs and how it will benefit your prospective employer. Concrete - Employers would like to have a notion on why you have been moving around from job to job. Going back to the first rule BE READY and express your reasons.
