Anytime someone asks me why I’ve “jumped around so many places” or held so many jobs I simply reply back that “Life for me is very different from you. I have no house to pay for, I have no family to care for, I have no ties to where I am. I follow my passions but never leave a project unfinished and undocumented.” I’m honest about what I did during any lengthy leave of work. I’ve experienced no company loyalty so I give none. It’s a contract, an agreement, nothing more. I always will emphasize my talents and skills and explain how that fits into the role I’m seeking. 90% of the time this works but occasionally there’s someone who thinks it’s career suicide to leave a job before 10 years. They are mostly boomers.
