This is the third job since I graduated from colleage 5 years ago, the first job I take is the agent of real estate, but that's not what I want, you know, I like English very much athough my major has nothing to do with English, I have spent a lot of time on studing Engish in the colleage. Then I got a chance, one mink farm is recruiting translator, so I decide to have a try, to my surprise, that mink advisor who is from Holland wants to give me a chance after the interview. I did learn a lot from this job, only this place is too far away from the city. I got married after I stayed there for about 2 years, one problem happened then, my wife wants me to find a job in the city, she didn't want to come to me, because our company located in a villiage which is too far away from city, so I end up sarcrificing this job to meet her wish though my boss and advisor didn't want me to leave. Then I find a job of foreign trade salesman which means doing business with the business man from other countries, that's my last job.
So how often do you change the job?

Before I decided to stop working and just stay home, I had 6 jobs. I shortest time I stayed in a company was 5 months and the longest is about 6 years. I've worked in different industries like manufacturing, school, mall, bank, and telecommunication.

this is my first job since coming here from philippines 8 yrs ago. i like the company because they provide good benefits to the workers. But pretty soon, i might change job when i'm done with my schooling. I don't want to be stuck working in manufacturing all my life. I want to try a different kind of work. hopefully it would be in line of my degree.

I have been doing the same job since graduation from normal university without trying for another job. Teaching is my job and I like it a lot though it is a quite a well-paid one. But I have changed my working unit from one place to another for only one time. I do have some colleagues who change their jobs once they find it boring doing the same job. I think that it is a good idea to try something new especially when one is young and is able to learn things fast.
Your own experience of changing a job from one to another is a good example. This way you will try to improve yourself to a higher degree and will surely make more money once you have got one that really interests you. Otherwise how come we have the saying that interest is a great teacher. Anyway, I wish you to do your business to your satisfaction. Good luck, Robben.

I have changed 100 or more jobs. I am the worst here. Because I can't hold on to people's temper. They have no discipline so I rather work at home than facing these people everyday in the office.

I am the opposite of you it sounds like... I have had the same job for about 4 years. And I'm only 21! I've had a couple of other smaller part-time jobs (two seasonal jobs) but I've been with my main job for quite a while. I'm ready for something new because I am going no where with this current job.. I wish I wasn't so attached. lol.

I'm 33 and i was only employed once my entire life. At the moment i am just content having my own online classes not under any contract with no boss but myself. And I inherited my parents' business as well. So i'm content with my earnings so far.

It is already my 2nd job. I graduated in 2008 since then I am already working.I started being a call center agent for months but then IO decided to find for a new job. And now, I am working as a secretary in a private office. well as of now I ma still enjoying the company of my office mates.
For me, there's nothing wrong if you have new job every year as long as you feel that you need to grow as an individual, go ahead and look for a better job that will help you to be a better person. don't just stick to one job and be stagnant until you get old. Take life's challenges do not afraid to spread your wings..:-P
