I am the ultimate job hopper, ive had around 40 jobs. Employers love stealing employees. I have 6 different resumes tailored for different fields. I walk into the interview based on a lie and I lie all the way through to the end. I Judo the system and I count on the laziness of human resources. Sometimes I fail but all it did was make me better at it, I don't make the same mistakes twice. I also rehearse my lies. Check it, Sears is closing down and I'm gonna put them on my resume, department manager sounds good.
Melkor I love this xD
Some people can really pull this off. I know someone who made 6 figures at a really respectable job...no degree or anything, but extremely personable and amazing speaker. However , once he lost that job, it was difficult for him to land something with the same pay. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t. One time he was almost about to get an offer until they did a background check and found out he didn’t have a university degree that he said he had. Nonetheless, I admire people like this. If I had the gift of gab, I’d be on top of the world (with my credentials)
M may I ask what was the degree for? I get the whole lying thing. I’ve done it, we will do anything to pay our bills, survive, not struggle and not be dead on the street. Plus employers aren’t honest with us, so why should we be honest with them?? Especially when we have so much potential they could over look, they could hire someone with that degree (also depends what field, don’t lie about being a doctor etc) and they are just so bad at their job.
Why did I like this comment?
What do you do for references?
If they don't want you to job hop then they need to be willing to sign an employment contract. When Megyn Kelly was let go from NBC with her $69 million contract they still had to pay her the remainder of the contract, because she signed an exclusive labor contract for a period of time. That is loyalty. If an employer wants exclusive rights to your labor for a period of time they have to sign a serious contract to get that loyalty. One way loyalty isn't loyalty, it is a sacrificial relationship of one to the other. Not a win, win relationship.
My job hopping is because I had low self esteem and chose companies that were dying or had no future. I didn’t think I could do any better .
I don’t give a rats ass what an employer thinks about my job hopping. I don’t want to work for an employer who does not hire on my skills. Employers need to look inward as to why they are concerned about loyalty. Make it compelling to stay through culture management and people will stay.
Someone had to say it. Thank you!
Skills are only 25% of the reason we hire someone. 50% attitude and 25% experience. A job hopper will never be happy, neither will his employers. Neither will they get a positive recommendation. Being self centered never gets you anywhere in the business world. It is not about you being entertained. It is about helping to make the business you work for successful, then you may have a case, and if that does happen (you help making the business successful), in 6 months or a year, your employer will be talking to you about your future in a VERY positive way. If you demand, quit, complain, you'll never make it. It's been my experience after 26 years in business that complainers normally NEVER have a viable solutions.
@@DLJRKJ "attitude", ha. same to you, little guy. you're full of shit. i've job hopped my way to success and will continue. tons of people do this. you're a shit employer who no one wants to stick with. sorry boutcha!
I got to wonder who the heck are you? I do not believe you're "in the business", if you are what a joker. I think the one who needs an attitude adjustment is you, sir. You are the kind that are "in the business" (if you really are) that makes recruiters get such a bad name.
@@DLJRKJ Sometimes you're being a terrorized by a bad boss or the company has gone through major turmoil - there are specific reasons we have that people didn't have to deal with in your "26 years of business experience". Sometimes we can't just quit a job and change careers when we have family members that are sick. Be a little bit more open minded
"At Will Employment" encourages job hopping; either the employer or employee can terminate employment at any time without reason.
It certainly removes most legal barriers to switching jobs. It makes the consequences of job hopping social and discrimination towards job hoppers nearly invisible when in the job search process.
@@SelfMadeMillennial Soo then you are agree that job hopping is NOT. A bad thing?
Loyalty? That goes both ways. The reason there is "job hopping" is because of the companies, not the job seeker. So for recruiters, drop the 'length of time at a job' canard; It's old and antiquated. It shows immaturity of the recruiters. In fact I believe this so much, that when I was asked; "Why so many jobs?", I end the conversation, remember it's two way street.
Mary Pattycake you do you!
If only it's okay to explain to the interviewer about my bad experience from my previous job, I would probably do that. It's not me, it's them.
I work in entertainment. They are evil and hire and fire. People are dispensable. Just last week I was offered a job in post, yesterday they offered a different lower salary and a shift that was ridiculous and literally gave it away when I asked them to make sure this is right as it was not what was discussed in my interviews. Instead, despite how much they "loved me so much" as they told me, I was easily tossed like trash. I found the shift I interviewed for in the next job posting. They are notorious for high turnover. So this is why I have a million jobs on my resume, all due to companies disloyalty
A lot of people quit minimum wage jobs after 6 months or a year because of the pay. Job hopping is common among those earning minimum wage.
damien Smith That makes a lot of sense, I’ve also seen hourly work not viewed to the same expectation of a longer tenure as salaried work. Is that what you’ve noticed as well?

It's too bad that many recruiters don't take into account that life circumstances sometimes get in the way that may prevent you from staying at companies for long. Then, after your crisis is no longer an issue, no one hires you because you have too many gaps in your history. Sometimes it's the company itself that cuts your hours and you are forced to leave after a few months because you need full time work. How can you get a steady job if you haven't had one for a while???? #frustrated
It’s tough! Explain it directly on the resume and focus on networking. Life happens, you shouldn’t be penalized for that.
I've hopped around so much I can't get an interview. I'm never working again I guess.
Sometimes I feel like the job market is such a one-way street. Employees are supposed to be loyal to the employers, but the employers do not owe employees any loyalty because they can drop you like a hot potato if the employee no longer match their business needs. Employees leave because they want growth and are also searching for the right match. Some employees do so much more within a short timeframe (e.g. within a year) than somebody who has been hear for years just for the paycheck. Is the latter employee more loyal and employable than the first employee who is able to find inefficiencies and saves the company loads of $$ per year? I think not.
YEAH, NO. JOB HOP TO GET AHEAD. i've job hopped my way into way more money and an entirely new career of my choosing. if you're worried about the state of your resume, switch to a functional one instead of a chronological one. spin your job hopping however you need to. there are some great and informational stories on reddit of people doing this to great success.
Legal Fiction Natural Fact That’s great to hear! What type of work do you do?
@@SelfMadeMillennial web dev. applied for very different position, was sent to dev ops at the interview. forgive my dickish caps. had been internet-responding to jackasses all afternoon at that point.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Ah interesting, I have seen job hopping to be especially prevalent and more widely accepted in the field of software development, though does come with some stigma with some of the engineering leaders I've worked with. Glad it has worked well for you and others!
@@SelfMadeMillennial glad you're glad, but good engineers - who i work beside every day and am on track to become - don't care about stigma.
Yes ..(2012-2017)stop n shop to target to best buy to a call center to comcast...all retail..electronics, sales, and essential business functions(merch,inventory, cash management) learned and mastered that all added up and culminated to my recent promotion as a a Store Manager. I didn't even apply to my current company..they found me based on Resume and how it was presented. (2018). Those small minimum wage jobs can pay off if you take them seriously for information or "what not to do "in a way that is fitting to your career path.
I went from the food industry into driving, then into commercial driving. The longest job I held was 6 years, with nothing to show. I understand dumping time and resources in training someone. But "loyalty" doesn't keep a roof over my head and food in my mouth. If a better opportunity comes were I can live more comfortably, then I'm taking it lmao.
Unfortunately it is not that simple. Yes job hopping is bad. But guess what? I tried 2 years to get my perfect job in my town my kid and wife live with only rejections. Then I did 3 short stints on jobs that where not what I wanted... saying that you need to find the right job is too simple.
So what is better: Aquiring the right skills over 3 -4 with job hopping or staying in a job that gives the wrong skills?!
Thank you! I left my first job (during Covid) after a few months because they were pushing Scientology which was not made known to me during the interview process. I learned how to better vet companies after that! Luckily, I am happily employed in a contract position in the meantime.
Well done!
staying in a job thats affecting your health is not good either . what youre saying essentially is stick it out for a year or two and be a good slave
My last boss worked 6 different jobs in the past 10 years...longest he's ever been anywhere was maybe 3 or 4 years...worst person I've ever worked for.
I was abruptly laid off from my last two positions, not due to me rather COVId and a poorly planned start up. I find frequently employers are not truthful to me in the interview. Unfortunately it takes time to figure this out, but it is resulted in a resume that appears hoppy. I’ve also changed fields due to it. Example working in a factory. It’s been made very clear to me, as a female, the males will be advanced first regardless of the circumstances. I do not have a degree though, so I am looking at hourly pay.
Update. Took a job I was very hesitant to take due to it probably wouldn’t lay me off. It is an extremely toxic job that I can do very well but it leaves me feeling the opposite of fulfilled. In fact it’s depleted my hope for better days and my mental health is as scary as I could ever imagine it. Nearing 2 years to attempt to not be a hopper and wondering if I’ll actually survive this. Went home sick today due to no sustains working and the customer being so abusive it triggered another panic attack. Rewatching videos trying to convince myself it’s ok to apply for a different job as opposed to dropping dead at a job to prove I’m not a hopper.
Honestly, job hopping isn't always avoidable. The last 2 consecutive positions I was hired for ended up being completely different from the formal job posting and were not at all aligned with my interests or skillsets. In fact, they both required an exponential level of investment on my part which made it difficult to leave after pouring so much into it thinking things would turn around, but I resigned from both after only 1 year. I made sure, though, that my boss & teams were given every tool & resource I had developed before leaving because it was the right thing to do. I now ask many more detailed questions about prospective roles before committing.

Great video! I work for a recruiting firm and one of the biggest reasons for hiring managers turning down candidates is their job history. Sometimes for newer recruiters it’s upsetting because the candidates does have the skills and experience the customer needs and the employee provided solid reasons for his “job hopping”. I always try and explain that just because you know that doesn’t mean it comes through on paper. It’s best to identify those red flags and address them head on when presenting candidates.
rachel martin So glad you shared this insight, and great to hear you acknowledge it head on! It’s helpful advice for recruiters who are presenting these kinds of candidates.
I think I top out more than anyone, and would make the Guinness book of records. I've had 60 jobs since I was 15 yrs old. I'm 35 now. That averages out to 3 jobs/yr. I'm not proud of it, and stupidly embarrassed. It's not normal. Either I love the job and can't stand the people, or I love the people and hate the job. Yet, I've NEVER been fired. I've just always quit, and move on. I don't know what do anymore. Everyone I know has kept their jobs for 3+ yrs, and I don't understand what's wrong with me.
I want to work for myself and start an art business, but that would require me to go back to school and take business classes. Needless to say, I don't believe I'm as smart as I used to be, or would have the brain capacity to learn collage courses. It was due to a mini stroke a few yrs back and it changed my whole being since.
So I'm a "chronic serial job hopper". Also known as "CSJH" syndrome. lol. But seriously..I have a problem.
Any advise from the world?
I'm right there with you I'm 34 and I've probably been through 15 to 20 jobs (some great jobs that I regret leaving, some terrible). I HATEEEE my current job... but, I've made the decision to stay. I have other goals I have to focus on (school, paying off debt, saving $, moving out of state) and if I continue to switch jobs It would be hard to focus on my other goals. I honestly think it's a mind game you have to play with yourself. I don't think my current job will be my last, but I do plan on staying maybe a year or two so I can make up for all the job hopping on my resume. Hense the reson why I'm watching this video lol!

Companies rarely invest any training. They often hire people who are professionals and ready to perform. They often treat new hires better and pay them more too. So, they simple do not reward return clients. That being said for circumstances I won't go into, I have not been a job hopper in an industry where there is a lot of job hopping.
MrApplewine my job is building trainings and I couldn’t agree more, most companies do not focus enough in investing in their talent!
@@SelfMadeMillennial I've also worked for companies where they had training you could take from outside training companies which was very expensive and worse than cheaper online subscriptions at less than 1% of the cost that they wouldn't pay for. They also made you agree to pay them back if you left the company within 18 months of taking the training. This would be thousands of dollars in training cost you have to pay the company back.
MrApplewine yeah that doesn’t seem right. Sorry you experienced that!
I had 4 jobs in 2022 , and ready for the next chapter on 2023
Where are you now?
Job hoppers are the people who get offered jobs they go for. There are loads of employees who look super loyal but what their CV shows is all the jobs they applied for and didn't get. For every position offered and accepted there are dozens of failed applications.
what their CVs don't show, i mean
I like that perspective, and it’s true! It’s a huge cost to the company who loses them though. So while they are good at getting jobs, they are difficult to retain which is a massive downside.
@@SelfMadeMillennial True. Very helpful video by the way. I've been a bit of a job hopper over the last year or so and my first post was probably a little bit defensive but your video has made me really think about the decisions I've made. I think my reasons for leaving roles were the right ones but I was too impatient in accepting the first role that ticked a few boxes without thinking about if it was the right role for me longer term and whether I should maybe wait until the right role does come around, one that ticks all the boxes. That was probably driven by a bit of FOMO anxiety. If I pass up this role, maybe i'll never get that chance again. Which i'm definitely going to work on.
When most companies refuse to give you raises to match your market rate, job hopping is the only way to get paid what you are worth. Most companies balk at paying a large %(5+) raise, even if that's what you are worth. This is mostly true in software development.
I’m a boarder line job hopper, but even though I have not been at each role very long I’ve done good work and got promoted. About 2 months ago I started a new role that is just not a good fit and I’m looking to leave for a lateral move in the same industry. My question is would it be better to put this job on my resume and explain why it’s not a good fit in an interview or just leave it off and accept the gap of 2 months? TIA!
It's not my fault every job I'm at either loses the contract, outsources, or lays off everyone within a year of me getting hired.
i think what you're missing here is the real reason people job hop - it's low wages, and the fact that most employers don't give raises or promote from within anymore. if i hadn't job hopped, i quite literally would have never made enough money to live. i would still be living with my parents if i hadn't job hopped. you need to earn about $10/hour more than minimum wage to afford housing where i live.
I had this issue but hopefully I aced it ! Got called for second interview !
Way to go!
I don't know about other industries but programmers are job hopping all the time for pay raise.
good dev I agree, this is very prevalent among developers, especially because they are consistently getting inbound interest and, as you mentioned, the promise of a higher salary.
Job hopping is only bad if you aren't "upgrading" your title and even then it's to BS that.
Great video as usual! How much time in the same company do you think is enough to not be considered a job hopper?
Once you hit 2 years, people are less likely to consider you a job hopper. This varies, but that seems to be the mental barrier I've seen a lot of hiring managers have.
Hello Madeline, I look forward to receive good tips from you regarding my situation:
- I joined an organisation (startup) as a talent acquisition specialist. The work culture however wasn't very appealing in the sense that I could make out lots of politics happening around.
- Nevertheless after 1 month I was shifted to HR Operations role, I reluctantly accepted it but then comes the real problem.
- I was made to do certain immoral activities, firing people without solid reasons, no culture of issuing warning letters, there was no offer letter given to the candidates from very long time until they completed 3-4 months same with the relieving letters. The things weren't running on time. Employees used to cry in front of me asking that why were they fired because I was handling the exit formalities as well. It was a not very positive environment for me.
- I was made to do all these pending work and ultimately I was forced to give a resignation so that they could hire more experienced person in the HR operations role.
- The manager didn't transfer me back to the recruiting department as it was full. I was been handed over the operations role because of my qualifications and good grasp of theoretical work and business letter knowledge.
- Although the exposure was good with the company, I had to resign due to unfavorable circumstances but since it was a learning experience I wouldn't mind showing the same on my CV.
Can you help me in drafting one? And how shall I express myself during the Interviews.
SAUMYA MISHRA that is such a tough situation, I am so glad you are out of it! My overarching advice is: pick out what you gained from the situation (you got experience in both recruiting and operations, that is attractive to an employer), spin this as an opportunity that taught you more about what you want in your next job. Also, here is a video that could help: czcams.com/video/VMag54g_1B4/video.html
@@SelfMadeMillennial Thank you so much, it was very helpful indeed though I really don't know if I am supposed to take the ownership of whatever happened. It was absolutely not my fault.
Apperently you have never worked in retail gulag. Job hopping is the only way you get out of that and intill a much more better payimg employment
Great context! I work in the technology industry so it is good to hear your perspective.
Every industry is differnt but the desire for a better life is the same. And if you can keep that desire alive you will soon be making the big bucks.
Could you please provide an example of the format for the reason you left a role on your resume?
I am no Millennial but think your channel is great! You are extremely engaging and the content, I find....informative, thanks!
Hi Madeline! if you want to change careers and you have an old experience that can match the new role you want to apply for, should you add that as last role (since is the oldest), or should you then change the chronological order from oldest to newest work experience? Thanks
Great question! I need the answer to this, as well.
But weren't those jobs "temporary"
If you get my drift?
I job hopped because of graduate school and working temp jobs and moving out of state several times because of my partner's job.
What would you recommend for a real estate agent who has changed brokerage firms a number of times over the past 7 years? As a 1099 self-employed independent contractor, I was essentially in business for myself (as per most real estate sales jobs). This is a hurdle that I'm trying to overcome, and comes across as a red flag to recruiters who are unfamiliar with the brokerage real estate model as I'm trying to transition back to corporate America.
Why would you put job hops on your resume?
While I was in the military I held a few very different billets/positions based on the needs of the military. Should I split these billets up in my resume because they are so different? Or should I lump everything together to show more longevity? Is transferring different positions within the same branch or department considered job hopping?
My industry is very keen on fixed term contracts, especially in certain areas. I label them as such on my resume, but it’s still one of the first questions in an interview. Umm, did you even read my resume? Like damn. I don’t live in a major city, the only job I got an offer from was from a 6 month contract here, at the end of that, a 9 month contract there and so on. Then a year and a half at a job before I was made a crazy offer in a niche role that looked like it was written according to my resume’s skills and experience, so I went for it and was there for 2 years before blah blah.
But about the month / year thing, every recruiter has their own set of rules. Some say to leave something off, some say to include something... and nothing will ever be universal.
does this concern apply for part time jobs? i’m a college student and i just started a part time job, but i don’t think that i want to stay for a full year. part of the reason i wanted to get a job was to have something on my resume to
show accountability. how long would you recommend that i stay working at this job in order to indicate responsibility?
Hi Amy, great question - the "job hopper" idea doesn't refer to: part time jobs, contractor roles, or internships. This is because generally for these types of roles the company isn't investing as much in you: health insurance, training, so on... So it's expected to stay there for a shorter amount of time. As short as 3 months is normal. Make sure to write that it was a part-time role on your resume. Or you could leave that it was part time off, to make it appear as bigger experience, but people may mistake you as a job hopper.
Self Made Millennial thank you! love the videos.
You're welcome, thanks for kind words!
Hi, this was really helpful.
this video helped me so much, thank you tons
What about background checks if you leave off a job on your resume you only worked at two months. How do Background checks work?
Background checks are to verify that the companies that you listed on your resume are ones that you actually worked for, to see that your experience is real. They do not go out of their way to find other places you were employed as well. Also, most professionals leave off some job experience from their resume and it is a GOOD thing to do, I recommend this video to give more context: czcams.com/video/l_-yWSPd1r0/video.html
Thank you for watching!
her last gig was at the PLAYBOY mansion ?
I like flexibility so I just need to brand myself as a virtual assistant VA (contractor) that way I technically work for myself, and am no longer seen as a job hopper.
Hi,
I have made some frequent job changes in past because of certain unavoidable situations. In most of the cases these are either company getting into loss and in some cases, its company closed down its business. Now, this is something which is beyond my control so to safeguard my career I have to quickly get into another job. Please help me frame answer for this as to what should I reply in a job interview.
It seems extremely unreasonable to label someone as a job Hopper if they've had four jobs in 5 years that doesn't seem like job hopping that seems like looking for opportunity I would consider job hopping staying at a job for 2 months or less before going to another job
Nerdlin Geeksly depending on the type of role and industry, the expectations are different. What career are you in?
@@SelfMadeMillennial Manufacturing
Nerdlin Geeksly got it, that’s interesting. I don’t know much about the manufacturing industry so it’s good to hear your perspective. I work in tech.
I have stayed in the same career field however I have moved 3 times I am taking some contract jobs and am advancing in my career with school however the co tract job I have now talked with my employer to give me over time sounds great right??! NO they did this because the employer wanted me to work 6 days a week and changed my schedule and contract with NO consent and to me that is lines for me to leave I now have to find a babysitter for the weekends because of this no go for me that showed me they don’t care what do ever
no work makes me happy what?
What about leaving on bad terms with over 5 yrs of working their?
Does it show on background check or do they only know what you tell them
1. YOUR CHANNEL IS AWESOME, GREAT WORK!!
2. Cute bunny ears, happy easter in advance
3. How about the opposite, after how many years would you say recruiters find it weird that someone worked the same position in the same company?
Thanks so much for the support Guillermo!! You hit on something that is bizarrely true as well which I'm really glad you brought up - there is such thing as judging a candidate as staying "too long" at a company and becoming complacent and stagnating in professional development. I would say after 6 years a recruiter would see you as very solidly loyal, after 8 years be like, WOW that's a long time! and after 10 years be like, are they still growing and learning new things? Do they have velvet handcuffs and a cushy job? Why haven't they MOVED ON ALREADY? I think it's a bit different if in those 10 years there is a distinct pattern of promotions every few years, but if you've only had 1 or 2 roles at that company they may want someone who has had more of a dynamic career. Rule of thumb is it's good to have some sort of action in your career every 3 years, be that promotion, shifting roles, moving to a new project, moving to a new company, so on.
Self Made Millennial That's what I thought! I just crossed the 3 year line without any signs of opportunities to grow, and I've been thinking about the change. Thank you!
Some people might have circumstances that won't allow them to move on even after 10 years maybe the skillset they have vs the salary and overall compensation have reached its a peak. In addition, they might have family commitments that don't allow them to move on such as kids expenses and or mortgage yes in an ideal world it's better to at least growing to move up into management or into a more specialised role. Sometime someone could be lucky enough that it could be they have a partner who earns high income taken care of them financially and they don't want to stay home feeling bored so they don't mind doing the same thing over and over for 10 plus years some people don't have an ambitious goal in a career sense.
I've been fired too many times
I wonder if you fell for the scam of contract jobs. The scam where the "employer" wants to have an extended paid job interview for a job candidate, but he falsely calls it a"job". And if he decides to reject the interviewee, they falsely call it a "firing".
If people don’t care what others think about their job hopping or they feel like they should get over on potential employers I have a few questions for those small group of commenters. Why watch a video designed to help you overcome something you claim that you don’t care about? Why apply to a company that you don’t respect? Why not start your own business since you are clearly smart enough?
No mail
Currently I'm in a highly physic demanding job (my back can prove it) which is related with driving, I'm a delivery person. Now, a job offer involving driving, which I applied few months ago, came out again and I seriously want that job. It is related with travelling, events and cars, it's something I seriously want to work in.
So I have 2 questions: How to reapply for the job? Should I include 3 months driving experience in the application, I mean they consider it worth it for the new job?.
pd: Damm, its easy to understand when you talk but when I want to write in english is just brainexplode at some point.
How would you apply this to the world of retail and possible seasonal jobs?
Write “seasonal” next to the time that you were at the company. Explain anything that is meant to be a shorter tenure.
Loyalty commitment
Cool video, thanks for the tips! one question - I left a company after working there for 4 months. Basically, it was the wrong role for me and that's why I didn't stay long.
If I remove that job experience from my CV as suggested, and if the interviewer asks me about what I was doing those 4 months, what should I answer?
Hi Nuno, thank you for the kind words. So having an "oopsie job" is very normal, and so when responding be honest and confident about it (while placing zero blame). "I worked at X doing Y, I left off that experience because while the company and my manager was great, we all quickly learned that the match between my skill set and what the job entailed were not aligned, there were misunderstood priorities when I was hired. I decided to leave once that became apparent and I maintain an excellent relationship with that company."
One of the best way to waste time
Say that you were simply unemployed
Great video.
teh bear Thank you!
Nice info. but can i ask something about my job hunting experience? So. I'm 24 years. i have my bachelor's degree . i've been job hopping until now because at some point recruiter and manager got a high expectation to me and the truth is i feel unskilled to do something. i dont understand how to learn to solve the task thats given, what can i do to help because some work needs new solution thats not written on the manual. (and its always the new task thats given to me is not handled by anyone yet so i need to figure it out myself, sadly i cant) and also i have a rough time understanding the business process. people said as time goes on you will understand but for me the more time goes on i feel useless and unskilled. as i sit to task i dont understand how to solve it (and sometimes when someone tries to help me with something i got more confused because their explanation is not something that can help anything with the task and or makes me more confused about work because i feel i dont have knowledge enough). should i learn the organizational first or maybe can you recommend me something because i feel now im unskilled and cant do anything. New recruiter also is rarely calling me to interview anymore because of my job hopping resume.
THEY DONT TRAIN US WHAT SPENDING?!? 😭😭😂
Nine days for training? Wow. I've never seen a job where someone could be fully trained in 9 days.
Peter Kosen 90 days! I just rewatched it and it does sound like 9 days though haha.
Ok cool. That sounds about right. And I'm glad it sounds like 9 to you, too. Good to know my ears aren't out of order. :)
I had jobs with no training and left on my own to figure it out.
I been considered as a job hopper. How do I get them to see my hopping of jobs which all are releated to the same job skills. In a positive way. I built skills and my unique talent from theis jobs.got a late start in my career . I'm 58 have 25y. As a welder and I'm not done .been in a rut .last 3y .having a hard time with building a profile that shows my knowledge in this field. That will overcome my job hopping
have you tried a functional resume instead of chronological one?
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 I've always wondered about that. I hear all the time functional resume is "BAD". The reason is because of the resume scanned can't read a functional resume, or so I've heard. I'd suggest to Dallas Driskill is first, hang on dear. I know you're frustrated. You can legitimately add volunteer and pro bono work into "Work Experience". So explore that. School or seeking continuing education is good too. When you do submit your resume, contact the recruiter, hiring mgr directly within a week to give resume directly to them. This is done primarily through LinkedIn. Most recruiters are on there with contact information.
@@michellepatrick7704 to reply to driskill, click reply under his name.
so scanners don't read functionals. then create a chronological one and embellish the most recent experience and length of time employed at that place. make it whatever you want. don't write a "cover letter"... write a "pain letter". list a friend's phone number as "boss" of that last company. or you can pay someone to do it. managers/recruiters are not your friend and you owe them nothing, especially not the truth.
Would it be considered job hopping if I've been with a company for two years before transitioning? I'll still put down that I left to attend college full time, but I just want to know.
In some industries, no! What industry do you work in?
@@SelfMadeMillennial Industry? Information Technology.
How can we get in contact with you about career coaching?
hello ma'am kindly help me with interview answer about switching jobs so often
Hi Vakil, if you skip to 6:29 in the video you'll get advice on how to craft your interview answer to address switching jobs.
What if you’ve had 10 in less than a year?😭
I feel like that’s an amazing accomplishment at that point! 😄
How would I fix my resume? My two longest jobs were six months. The rest are jobs not even close to a month.😩
@@TiRockstar dude, I want to know you
@@floorfloorfloor722 you have sc or Instagram lol
@@TiRockstar no, I don’t 😂. I have Pinterest and discord though
What a waste of 8 minutes, you don't actually address anything, at all. Make sure to add the Months?? I cannot go back in time and change what has already happened, so what to do about it now? In an interview talk about not wanting to be a "job hopper"? What just bring it up? "Hey so I just wanted you to know, that I don't want to be a job hopper".
This is the problem with Millennials, you have no life experience. What are you 12 years old? Get to be 40, and have experience with 30+ jobs then talk about it, or talk to someone who has that, and ask them, who are you to tell anyone how?
Hi Robert! Yes, bring it up directly in the interview. It sounds counterintuitive, but this is a tactic that consistently works in not only interview settings but also sales settings (you've probably noticed some of the best sales pitches anticipate a person's objections and address them head on, this shows a level of empathy and understanding of the "customer" or in this case, the hiring manager). In your experience, what have you observed helps people address job hopping in their careers? Thank you for watching!
Urgh. Despite the fact that I am not in the Millennial age group, I would like to politely ask that you do not generalize an entire group of people. All people have their own stories and own experiences. Its one thing to give creative criticism, but its another to be a bigot and just trash-talk. They will one day be your successors, so don't screw yourself.
This is not a problem for software developers
