How to Explain ”Job Hopping”

April 12, 2010

”Job Hopping” Most people switch jobs and there is nothing wrong with doing so. However, if you are looking at your third or fourth job within the past few years, something is wrong. I see resumes of people attempting to do this several times a day and, for the most part, cannot help such people. “Employer hopping” is taken into account by employers assessing your qualifications. Having moved several times in a short time span can, in fact, impact your ability to get a job because it leads employers to question your loyalty and long-term commitment to what you are [Read more]

Practice Makes Perfect

February 12, 2010

A year or so ago I was at a wedding, and a very successful doctor started talking to me. I was very impressed with this doctor and already knew of him through several people before our meeting. He was involved in some fascinating and cutting-edge research I found quite interesting. I love meeting people who are passionate about their careers because they give off so much energy. People who achieve amazing and significant success in any profession always have a lot of passion for what they do. If you allow them to, these people [Read more]

Seek The Experience and Knowledge of Others in Your Job Search

August 29, 2009

Back in college there were men I knew who would always shadow other men at parties. The first man would typically spend his entire evening drinking and talking to a woman he met at the party. At some point he would have had too much to drink, and would start losing his focus. At that point the shadow would appear, and would talk to the girl and, oftentimes, end up going home with her. Since the woman was usually also a little drunk at this point, she was not processing if she liked the shadow as [Read more]

Focus on Other Geographic Areas to Get Your Job Search Going

October 20, 2008

“The median job search among those winning positions in the third quarter lasted nearly 4.4 months,” up from 3.6 months in the second quarter.

It’s also notable that 13.4 percent of the job seekers ended up relocating to take new positions.  That’s up from a first-quarter figure of 8.9 percent, but still lower than the share who relocated in 2006 and most of 2007.

Moving is stressful and expensive, and some people may simply be unwilling to take that step.  However, fewer people are relocating, no doubt, due to the state of the housing market.  Job seekers eager to move for the right job may find themselves trapped by an inability to sell their homes, and perhaps are even wishing they were renters right now. One of the reasons it’s taking so [Read more]
