How to Explain Job Hopping
By: Harrison Barnes



EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses how one can best explain job hopping to potential employers.

While there is nothing wrong in changing jobs for better career prospects, making too many moves in a short span of time can impact your ability to get a job. Job hopping can be a huge red flag on your resume because it leads employers to question your commitment. It also sends a signal to employers that you have moved because your work was not recognized, you were asked to leave or that you were unable to get along with colleagues.

Harrison advises that you need to be very careful that the reasons you cite for job move makes sense to employers. Reasons which employers are most likely to buy would be change in quality or type of work, structural changes within the organization adversely affecting your future career prospects there or location change.

Whatever your reasons for moving, or whatever be the number of moves you have made in your career, Harrison stresses on the need to convey to prospective employers that you are a stable and dependable employee.





Client Testimonials
"Recently, I was laid off from a major corporation. I had no idea how I was going to come back from such a sudden and unexpected event. I came to your company hoping for a cover letter explaining my situation and was pleasantly surprised by your writer's tact. I don't think there could be a better letter phrasing. Thank you so much. I will let you know how things turn out in the next few months. Cross your fingers for me!"

"Working as a paralegal for the past ten years while taking care of my kids, I have found it hard to get my foot in the door for more serious positions. I thought I might have been presenting myself poorly, so I paid for a resume edit. The new version was so different and more detailed than my original. If only I had thought of this stuff ten years ago! Thanks for helping me with this. After completing coursework for my degree this term, I think I may finally be able to land a new position."
