how many jobs have u changed?

I' a kind of person who can't stay in one place for more than an hour... as far as jobs are concerned, I thinks I change Jobs every once in two years!

Hi babyorchid, I worked for 3 different companies before. My first job is at a trading company. I stayed there for 2 years plus,I felt tired and stresss up with my work. At last, I decided to quit and look for better job. My second job is at a bank. I worked as a customer service centre at Call centre department. I love this job, I was on contract for 6 months. My third job is also at a bank,another bank. I was also a customer service centre at call centre department,handling Credit Cards calls. Both my second and third job are on shift.so sometimes I have to worked till late at night. The lastest till 1 am in the morning. It is best to stick to your first job for at least 1-2 years,it will give a bad impression if you are not staying in your first job for long as when you shifted to your second job, your boss might be curious whether you are job hopper or not. Always give a good impression on your first job!!

I've changed quite a lot to be frank, but that sadly has got me nowehere. Perhaps the initial incentive does attract youngsters and they take a fling, but its only later they realize that they lose the most important thing in their career; experience. I have given up jupping jobs and am now a full-time freelancer, and I'm loving it.

When I went to work at the age of 18, it was my first job. I worked in a cafeteria. I then when to work in a factory and worked there for about three years. I left there and went to work in a shipping warehouse. I worked there for about 6 months. My last job was at a telephone company where I did secretarial work. I worked there for 18 years. When I married my second husband I resigned and became a stay at home wife. I had only 4 jobs in my life. I do not like looking and changing job very often. I know sometimes changing jobs is necessary to help you advance in your employment efforts or career.

For me it's good if you feel success, for now in my life I'm on the 3rd job but I feel succes because it's my mini business job no one can contradic in me it's my disition if i work or not.I like to manage my own work.

more than four. you 'd better listen to your friends.

Hi babyorchid. To answer your question, I have had six jobs already. But I started working at seventeen. These six jobs don't include the odd jobs that I did before I graduated in high school (by the way, we graduate at age sixteen in high school here in the Philippines). My first job was the job that I enjoyed the most and I stayed there for eight years. It depends on what job or industry you are currently working in right now. It is true that employers will judge you or your possible loyalty to a company by the length of your stay. But if at three months you are feeling burned out, then something must be terribly wrong. I would suggest that you analyze the things that are making you unhappy with your current job. If these things that burn you out are unresolvable, then the job may not be right for you.

Actually my job right now is the second one. By December this year, I will be on my third year in the company. Although the company is helping me a lot, I am very much willing to to find another job. In short, I am discontented with my current job. I know the fact that it is very difficult to find jobs nowadays in our country. In my first job, I served for ten months only. At first, I appreciated such job but later on, I realized that it wasn't meant for me. That's why I resigned.

Hi babyorchid, Since I graduated from my university, I have done 3 jobs all together before I married and settled down in Malaysia. My first job is at a trading company.I worked there for more than 2 years, then I changed a new job,worked in a bank as a customer service officer. My 2nd job did not stand for long,only 6 months period. My 3rd job was also in a bank and was under the same position with my 2nd job,but under different department.

I have no job yet. But maybe soon. I do not plan to change jobs if I have one since finding a job is really hard to do and the risk of not being hired is great and I do not want to lose a job.

i have not even changed one job till now reason is that i have no job to do till now so i am getting my part times from mylot which helped me a lot which i came to know from my friend

i've had two jobs in my life so far. both were parttime jobs that had nothing to do with my major. the first one i kept for about 2 and a half years and the second one i worked for about 2 months. i didn't really like either of them.

Hi. It certainly does look better on your CV/resume if you have stayed longer at your jobs as an employer would feel better about hiring someone who can settle down and not leave them with the trouble of having to find someone else. But, I left my first job after 8 months and it never held me back - I just used to try and dazzle them at the interview and my abilities were good. This is only your first job so you shouldn't worry too much about moving on quickly, but have a good think about what you really want to do so you will stick at your next job longer. My resume looks pretty bad with all the moving around I have done so I would advise a young person to think about how that resume will look one day. Good luck job hunting.

I only graduate from my college for 1 year,and works in a trading company since I graduated,I feel this job bored and hign pressure,sometimes I feel myself need holiday,sometimes even I want to quit my job and be free for somedays.the most importance is the working atmosphere. so depressive and rigid working style. I want to change.... but I only have 1 and half years' working experience.it is not enough to change a better job.so I choose to wait... try my best to do this job well.when I have enough experience I have the capital to ask for higher salary or change a better one

This is my third. My first job was a production technician at a factory. It was tough to stand up through my working hours but I like the job. Unfortunately my parent don't. They kept pestering me for a better job which I did. The second job was Internet Marketer. Good job but not being paid. The boss said he's having a bad time and asked me to wait a bit. He gave me a small amount of money to keep me staying. To be honest, it was sux. I find him fishy so I decided to quit. He didn't even pay the rest of my salary until now. The third is my current job, contract teacher. Whether I like it or not, my post depend on contract availability. I don't know how long I'll work as one.

hi baby. how are you/ no, i have not changed my job ever bcoz its an govt. job with a satisfactory salary. i am happy with it. so if chances come then i shall change my place but not the job. thanks,,,,

Hi babyorchid! I've changed jobs three times:) On my first job, I was only there for six months. My second job was the worst coz I've only been there for 2 months, lol. It was a call center. I just wasn't able to handle the pressure. On my third job, I was there for three years. That was my longest. The length of 1 or 2 years really depends on the kind of job you're in and whether you are enjoying it or not. For me, 2 months on a call center was already very long. And yet, on my longest job, 3 years felt only like a month;) I must say that changing job is a hard issue. That's because most of the employers are seeking employees who would stick with them for many years, because turning over a job to a new hiree is a very costly thing on their part as it entails a lot of processes (exams, interviews, administrative tasks, turn over & training, etc). And if your resume shows you've been changing jobs numerous times then it wouldn't be such an eye-catcher for them. Because if you come to think of it, one year is even a short time for you to master your job tasks. However, it's also not healthy to stick to a job/company that you're not even happy with and doesn't even give you enough opportunities for growth. Hence, one should balance between changing jobs and stepping up the corporate ladder. Usually, those that have stayed in their previous jobs for at least 3 years (ideally, at least 5 years) are most likely to get promoted to a higher position such as supervisory or managerial than those who have stayed for a few months or so. There are also others who would stick to their job/company for the rest of their working years (from day one) and until they retire. Personally, I am not amenable to this. That's because in this case, you're not allowing yourself to grow and is just satisfied with your current position and salary.Unless, if you've already made your way to the top (without compromising of course the integrity of you and of your fellow co-workers), like you're already the CEO or stock-holder or something then I guess it's okay to stick with the job until you retire. But if you're just a newbie, for me it's still okay to switch jobs if you want to rise up to the ladder because you won't be able to do that unless your own boss leaves the company. But as I mentioned, it would be better if you stay for more than a year or so first before looking for another. Unless of course if you really hate the job and it's not doing any good to you and your health, then I guess it's okay to look for another job even if you've just been with the previous one for less than a year;)

If you don't like it, change it. Because you can't get any experience from your uninteresting job.
