My friend quit her job again...

hi there. so far i haven't quit from the jobs i had before, since anyway they were just for a few months so i can't really say i was already tired of it. i only look for a job and work because i had so much vacant time during college. but now i have already graduated, but i cant work yet since i have not taken the board exams yet. but yeah i think it is possible for her to not be happy with her job. i also felt that when i was a tutoring a foreigner with her English Language in a sense that, i was in college but did not have enough money for myself. i had allowance but it was only enough for school and needs but i could not really buy things like my clothes and other things so i still continued it. i did not really get tired of it because it was not like a whole day class and anyway i am being paid :) hehe. so yeah i believe that if one loves his/her job, it wont be hard for him/her, if he enjoys it, then it wont feel like he/she really is working :)

I guess she's still that lucky finding another job after the other. I also agree to most responses here that it's not good for here because in the long run she will face the consequences of it. She must learn first what kind of job she would prefer and not just apply and apply. Doing so will help her understand what she wants or what she needs about a job.

Hi Ganza, Welcome to Mylot. Your friend is lucky that she is able to continue to find jobs after quitting like that. Hopefully she is young and will soon find one that is suited for her. It really does not look good on your record to have a whole string of jobs that you start and quit early on and none that you've stuck with. If she doesn't change her pattern, soon she may find that no one is willing to hire her at all. Jabs are scarce and a lot of people looking and willing to take just about anything they can find.

A pleasant day ganza_lovers, There are a lot of reason why someone is quitting from a job. We cannot just make a judgment to those who always do their resignation, as maybe they have a valid intention in doing this. On the other hand, job hopping is not amiable to see in ones curriculum vitae, as, it will somehow connotes a not so good impression on applying a job.

I think it depends on the situation that your friend is in. Does she make more money every time she quits and gets another job? If that is the case, then it's a stepping stone to better things and she should keep doing it until she's happy with the job she has. If that's not the case then you need to tell her to stay at one job for a certain amount of time until she is comfortable with it and does not quit. It's the best way to control that urge of hers to keep quitting. I've been at my job for 8 years and don't plan on ever quitting.

Well, your frien should find something she like so she can stop quitong hehe. I never had this problem, im just 19 and worked for 3 different companies, my firs job was for FOX TV channel and worked as extra in the tv series, the secon was at selling some computer stuff and now i work as grafic desighner and really love my actual job!

This is my 4th company and my tenure has been good in all places I go. I stay upto 2.5 years in a place and when I actually get a more challenging offer I look for change. In my tenure, my first company I sticked on for a long time that is more than 5 years.

Hmmmm within few months i'm going to join in a company, i'm waiting for call letter but i think in order to fix to a job , one should have enough patience and they should try to enjoy in what ever field they are in. But earlier while studying i used to teach part-time tutions but after teaching the students for 1-2 yrs i used to have various reasons to get rid of them but i never felt bad because people used to love to be my students because i used to care them much and they secured really a very good score in my guidance but their parents always used to bargain the fee so finally i gave up at one time so that i can concentrate on my studies.........

I guess it really depends on each person.. Some would quit right away without even testing their new job for a year or something, but there are some who just don't have the patience, and who just follows their heart. I don't see anything wrong with finding the perfect job for yourself, it may not look good on your resume, but you will feel better by doing to. And hopefully your friend will be able to find the perfect job for her.

There are several factors which I think we should consider before quitting a job. One of which I think should be the sense of happiness. No matter how high paying your job is, you can never really be truly happy if you are not passionate with it. Start by thinking about your passion. Work with your passion, then happiness will follow.

I think your friend has a problem in her character to work as an employee. I believe he should set up his own business so that he can have a better flexibility to manage his time or schedule. ha! ha! ha! I were the same as him too. I couldn't stay on the same company for the same job for too long. I found myself very uncomfortable to work for someone. Since I knew about my weakness, I had to start for my own. Never waste his time and start planning early for his own business now.

It is more and more common for people to job-hop because of their unsatisfaction in the job they land. Especially in today's society, the rat race really throws us into great despair and pressure.So think well before you make moves.

I know what you mean. I had an ex that had a new job basically every time I talked to her. It was truly ridiculous. Her excuse? "I didn't like the people there" or "I wasn't confortable." I asked her if she was being harrassed by co-workers and whatnot, she told me no. I gave her a piece of mind several times. Why would you quit a job in this economy without having something else lined up? You need a plan in order to succeed - something that she didn't have, and thus, has yet to experience success. If you're only in a job a few days or weeks, you haven't even given yourself the time to get used to it and learn the position. Thankfully, we weren't together when she starting "working."

I only work half an year,my boss is a very kindful man.So I don't have this ider. Maybe someday,I may quit my job when i am boring with it .

Well your friend needs some help with her depression and she also needs a reality check. With the economic situation of the world today it is crazy to quit your job period! I could understand if perhaps she felt in danger of her life or if there were something malicious going on but it sounds like she just does not want to work. It will look very bad on her record for quitting so many jobs. I hope you can get through to her.

Maybe your friend is still young and still lack self direction. Give her time and sooner she'll realize and start to come up with what she wants in life.

My sister is actually just like her. She jumps into one job to another having all sorts of reason. I gave her advises but of course she has her own decision on what she wants to do. The sad part though, she's old enough to earn her living but until she still ask for support from my parents because she's always having this problem of landing the job she likes. If she ask for your advises give her a sound one but let her find her way. After all it's her life and she should know where she is failing. Good luck

One should really try and find a job before quitting a job because one will never know when they will need the past employer again. For reference and or perhaps to return some day. Hopefully soon she will understand that it is important to develop a good work history record or she will find herself not finding any descent type of work later in life. I only quit once in my life but only because I was completely at my wits end and had already contact the employer prior to that one who agreed that I could use him as a reference and so it was not difficult to find a new job there after.

i think your friend should find a job and work now,to tell a truth,i am going to quit my job, i am working in this cmpany 1 year now.i suddenly find that i am nor happy with my work.and i fell so tired with my job.

No, it doesn't look good on your resume to have multiple jobs and the reason for quitting them is because you quit because you're not happy. Employers start to look at you as a person who can not find SOMETHING to be happy about the job, so why should they take time out of their busy schedule to interview you, hire you, set you up in their payroll department and insurance (if the job supplies insurance) for you to find something you don't like about the job and then quit. Employers like to see lengthy employment times when they review your resume.
