Job Related Tips:Avoid Job Hopping Whether its for a good reason or bad, switching jobs is extremely common nowadays, especially in some professions -- software for example. Today, the average CV usually contains several moves, especially early on in a career. However, an extreme case of job hopping, such as one every year or even several times a year, definitely wont reflect well on your resume, especially if you are under 30. This is because a company also spends a considerable amount on training new employees and is always looking at reducing employee turnover. In such a case, one look at your resume, and they may run in the other direction. Questions to ask yourself: Ask yourself the following questions regarding where you are at present (and be honest with your answers): • Do I really like my current job? • Do I enjoy working with my colleagues? • If I stay here, where will I be in two years time? • Could I be earning more elsewhere? • What are the intangible benefits of working here? • Is the technology one that I would like to align myself with in the future? Answer the questions using these broad parameters • Job quality (Is this what I want to do?) • Growth prospects (Can I stay in this job? Can I move up?) • More money (How much is enough?) • Mental stimulation
