It depends on many factors, particularly on the nature of the job and your level of education. For example, employers expect you to be moving constantly upward in jobs if you are currently under-employed. However, if you are leaving jobs that look perfectly reasonable for you level of education and your point in your career, then employers wonder why.
Also, do you give proper notice when you change jobs and do your past employers all give you a good reference? If you let employers know that you are looking for a new job and give them plenty of time to replace you, then prospective employers take that into consideration. Employers value integrity very highly.
There isn't a specific time frame that really matters. Most important is that you can demonstrate that you left the job "without prejudice" - you didn't let the employer down.
Best of luck.

It really depends. If you had a contract job...it could range from months to years and it would not matter. Temporary jobs and internships also will not affect your resume in the eyes of the employer. If it is a full-time permanent position...I would say stay a year to show your commitment and giving the job a chance. If you quit a full-time permanent position after staying in it for 6 months to less than a year...it may be a red flag, but I think you will be okay if you have a thorough logical explanation. If you stayed less than 6 mths..it may even be best to leave it off your resume. The recruiters will not like it since they will think you will jump ship if you get hired.

After a three hundred and sixty 5 days, start up looking, yet save your present day pastime. If no longer something turns up, you a minimum of have the protection of a paycheck. once you're there, take income of what you've. Ask for flow-preparation in different elements of the organization. discover out in case you may shadow a diverse branch once you end your initiatives for the day on your branch. If there is someone on the verge of retirement, see in case you may practice to be that alternative. i began out as a lowly intern in my first pastime, yet I took on initiatives that no one else truly needed to do, like the in one day end of month billing shift and the inventory reconciliation. i grow to be able to instruct a 6 month internship right into a job provide, and from there, use some well timed retirements and human beings quitting to flow right now up the ladder, quickly surpassing the man I initially interned for. Motivation and being keen to artwork for slightly for decrease than the going price will boost you to a position the position you may negotiate a some distance more effective efficient equipment for your self, able you actually desire.

I am a consultant moving co. to co.
anything more than one year shows stability in the consulting business.
As an employee 2-3 years would be more in order.

Depends. Did you just get a job and now you hate it? If you line something else up, just leave and never mention it again.
Other than that I'd say 2 years.

Unless it's seasonal work, less than a year looks like you weren' t committed to/interested in the job.
