job hopper
 

how to overcome the stigma of job hopper? sigh. is it better to just say i am unemployed and took a long break for personal reasons rather than the fact i keep hopping jobs?:(

Just say your mother sick need people take care.

How often do you change jobs to be classified as job hopper?

Advice from mentors
You are more marketable if you apply for a new job while being employed

hahaha. i just quit my job after 1.5 months so this post really resonated with me. Im planning to leave out this job altogether in my cv. I think if it less than a year, it would be better to say that you took a break. Then go do something during the break. I'm doing a masters atm so it doesn't look too bad.

imho less than 1 year..

mine is 10 months.....lehh...

1 year 1 job..

Hi TS, i believe it depends on how you justify yourself during interviews.
I have switched 4 companies in 3 years due to the following reasons
1. 1 year contract
2. 6months contract
3. 2months contract
4. 1.5 years perm role and on-going.

For my case, everytime i went interview i will jus told them honestly that it is a contract role and although i was offered a renewal contract/perm role, i rejected due to the job scope that they offer me.

I did not include #3 as i find it too short and abit irrelevant while applying the job #4.

Acceptable reasons to give will most probably be seeking for a perm role, helping sick family(tske care of elderly)
