Is it bad if I keep quit my job because my partner's job keep transferred?

Question

I hope if this quiestion would be answered by people who have positions as reqruiters/HR.

I have been in and out my job for the last 6 years because my partner's job kept moving/transferred. The last job I held for 2 and half years, and other jobs I held lest than a year.

I don't have a choice but to follow him, because he made 4 times what I made.

Does it look bad to recruiter?
Any sugestion what should I do next?

Besides, I loved my last job....and it is hard to find a job you like with all people you like.

Answer 1

I had to leave my job for the same reason. My husband has a job that relocates us. We realized we can afford to have me no work soI do online courses.

Answer 2

My recommendation: - when you list each employer, make sure you put the city and state, and then a comment on why you moved - however, if you use the term partner, many may make some judgements about you, so I wound find a less "political" word, such as "family" moved, and the fact that each job is in a different state will make it apparent that you're employable.

Understand that new companies keep hiring your partner and don't seem concerned about him flitting about -

However, that being said, a potential employer may not hire you because, if he moves again, you'll be off with him - so if he's still going up the ladder, expect to have some problems - perhaps the same company that hired him will hire you?

Answer 3

I don't really understand your question, but its sounds like you already answered it yourself.
If your partner is making 4 times what you make, then he obviously can take care of you, and the constant transferring is something you know of when you got with him.

HR Recruiting is a position that's pretty mobile anyway.
See if your job has affliates or brother/sister companies that you can transfer too as well.

Answer 4

I'm an HR student, but have interviewed people in my former HR career.

It all depends on the type of job you are working in. I know that as an HR professional interviewing you, I would want to know what your future career plans are. I prefer to hire someone who will be there for more than a year.

Answer 5

Yes it is bad to keep changing jobs. It is called being a job hopper. I understand that your partner keeps getting transferred and moved but have you considered transferring with your company? If you are in a professional field it is going to get harder and harder to find a job. if you work in a restaurant or store then you are fine.

Answer 6

This question looks bad to recruiters. You seriously need an education.
