I'm a hiring manager (not at a tech company, FWIW) for college-degreed, relatively senior professionals. If your resume shows a short job, say, less than a year, I won't care. If the last five jobs you held down have been for less than a year each, it goes in the circular file.
Maybe I'm missing out on good people, but I have more candidates than I can handle already, and it's a pretty abnormal pattern in the field.
- neweroldguy 4y agoRecently made the mistake of hiring someone with a few short stints. Each had a “good explanation”. 9 not-so-productive months later, they’re gone… Will be taking your approach in the future.
- jherskovic 4y agoIt's basically the old doctor joke: Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I touch my shoulder. And it hurts when I touch my knee. And when I touch my head. And when I touch my other arm." Doctor: "Your finger's broken."
