   With that history,a future employer will see you as a job-hopper and someone who can’t make a commitment. That makes them less likely to hire you; they’ll be concerned that they’ll spend a bunch of money to train you and you’ll be gone before you even learn the job.

   Yes, employers will wonder why you changed jobs. they will surely want to call all your ex boses.

   Yes, future employers will see that as an unwillingness to commit to a long-term assignment. They may be hesitant to hire you, but if you explain your motives it would likely diminsh their misgivings.

   If you have a better opportunity on the horizon, it’s best to take it.

   Someone once said, never go backward in a new job. If you can contiunally advance in position, and pay, then you’ll do alright.

   The short answer is yes, it will effect your future career prospects. Say you are interviewing against a candidate with roughly the same credentials, except the other person has a stable work history. Who would you invest in training?

   Job hopping puts you in a position of either having to lie on your resume, or explain why you can’t hold a job. Both are bad options. Three jobs in eight months is so extreme, I almost can’t believe it.

   I’m afraid yes because, employer’s think that you are not self confident, unstable, judging you like that with out knowing your reasons.

   Yes, future employers will look at the jobs you have had in the past and the length of time that you have had them. If you keep changing jobs the employer will look at that and think you will not be with them long, so why go through the expence of training you. Its all about the bottom line, for them as well as you.

   yes it does it shows that your arent a good worker and you cant stay with a company b/c u cant handle it. it doesn’t matter your reasons they dont want someone working for them thats just going to quit in 2 months they want someone they can trust

   Yes, it can! As a business owner, yes, we do take that into consideration. My suggestion is to you, not to include the short term jobs you had on your resume, and focus on detailing on the long term jobs you had!

   Although we take it into consideration, it’s not the most important! We look at resume to determine your qualifications. As an employer, obviously our income depends on the success of the business, therefore we’re putting our money on the employee to do the job that will make the business successful. Needless to say, we want to make sure that you DO possess the skills required to get the job done!

   Again, if it serves no purpose, then leave it out! Include it if you really must….if it’s the only place where you acquired the skills required for the job you are applying! Make sense?

    Absolutely. I would not hire you for that reason already.

    As long as you aren’t jumping from job to job in short periods of time, it shouldn’t hurt you that much in this case with future employers. In your job applications, it usually asks why you left any previous jobs and your answer is advancement and/or you made more money. You have to look out for yourself if you see a good opportunity.
