Why do scumbag employer/interviewers penalise you for job hopping crap jobs?


Ie even if you have two mba...


you needed to pay the bills and di not want to scrounge so you took naf, poor pay dead end jobs you hatied, were boring, with no furtutre, training or development...


Simply for cash...

TYou clearly worked hard, you want work...


but they say job hopper put CV in trash as you bothered to work hard...


Why bother...

Why not become a prostitute selling drugs to children to fund a bak robbery when all that happens id job hopping means you dont get a decent job if any as you took on awful poor pay work and tried to improve yourself

If someone wants someone to stay and not job hop... Offer lots of money, good treartment, putting their skills to use and traing them up...

Then they wont want to job hop as its like... I found home finally.



Why do they think you would want to stay in a £4/ hour job using .00001% of your brains doing horrible brain dead stuff for 10 years when houses cost £350,000


Are they thick or something???


Would said employers do that?

Run their business if it made no money?

Why stay bin crap jobs ie not using your qualifications...


Thats why you got in debts and worked hard.


More so you have to by a house and get things and you wont do that satying in poor pay jobs


Staying in a job which pays nothing makes no logical sense... You can't work your way up. there is nowhere to work your way up to

Employers are looking for reliability in a potential employee, and job hopping demonstrates that you will jump ship as soon as you find something better. Whether you want to work or not is totally irrelevant, because they want to know that you'll stick with a job even when things don't necessarily go your way, for the good of the whole. Not a nice thing, but the truth just the same.

As an employeer I can say its because it looks like you have a lack of commitment, and your MBA's make it worse.

The problem is many of us either went to university with the student or knew him while we were working. The student who bragged about how he was going to walk into the 70k a year job, the student who believes hes more than he is. The student who is still working in Tescos, turning down jobs because.... its not the 70k they think they deserve.

The problem is your qualifications actuallty work against you. Nearly all jobs you have to take the crap and work your way up but all my friends who went to uni wont 'lower' themselves to take those jobs, so I dont hire those sort of people as they are the most likely to jump ship the moment they sniff anything better.

I dont know if your one of them or just one thats been burnt by those other students but thats the same reason for many others.

While those other jobs you hopped from were crappy what were your reasons for leaving? Was it because they were just short term jobs over the summer, or did you leave because it was crap and you thought the grass was greener? Because the latter is what they are afraid of, all jobs are crappy and you just need to roll with it.

Take the crap and work your way up.

Or better yet, lie. Dont put all those jobs on your CV, just list the good ones, when asked why you havnt worked just say you were concentrating on your studies. Executive bull spit. ITs how I got my job.

Why not just keep the same crap job, instead of hopping from one crap to another? If you can't put up with some crap they don't want to hire you. In case you didn't know - every job has some crap, the good employees put up with it. It costs an employer a lot of time and money to train a new person, they would prefer to have a stable employee. By job hopping they think that you are not stable.

If you switch from job to job, it looks like you dont take the work seriously. It also sets up a precident that you do not stay at a job for very long. Why would an employer hire someone who they didnt think would stay at their business for very long?

Ive been seriously considering starting a buisness that acts as a persons previous employer. If you have bad references, you could hire my company and we would provide a quality reference. I currently own my own business though I know I could've used a service like that in the past.

All a myth but ethically speaking Satan would be the better bet than God. Like why did God tempt poor Eve when He knew that Eve would succumb to temptation. God had the power of aforethought and knew what would eventuate.yes God did a crap job in Edin.

Why don't you just not list those jobs where you hopped from? That's the easiest solution.

Make sure your resume matches your application though.
