This is the one that might make you say, ‘Again?’
I moved to Phoenix about 6 months ago, and since then I’ve had about 70 different jobs. I swear to god that I’m not a job-hopper. I hate job-hoppers.
I’m not some irresponsible flake that accepts a position and collects a paycheck or two and decides to stay home all day and play Xbox for a few weeks.
I’m not. I swear.
Well today I quit another job. I’ve actually only had three positions here in AZ…but that’s an awful lot of jobs to hold in a 6-month period.
I wrote here about the position that I took a few weeks ago and that I quit today. I am still in love with this organization and their mission; I’m just pretty sure that it wasn’t a good fit for me.
And now I’m going back to my roots. I got offered a position with a youth-serving organization where I’m going to have the opportunity to tap into some of my past experiences.
How many jobs in a year would look bad on a resume? 25? 30?
I hate the US Open for screwing up my TiVo and not recording Big Brother.
I say congrats! You need to find a good fit! You did the right thing.
considering you weren’t at this last one terribly long, I wouldn’t even include it on your resume. you can always create a good answer if someone asks why there was a gap in employment (obviously not an elaborate lie). to your last question… i would say 6 jobs in a year would be pushing it. ;)
I appreciate the Natalie Dee cartoon
