I'm looking for a job and I have so much front office experience, but my work history is not solid, meaning I have had a lot of jobs.

It is not a good idea to jump from one job to another. If you stay at one job for 2 years and there is no improvement whatsoever then please feel free to look for a new job. I am sure you already know by now that there are always ***hole everywhere. Lets say you work at "A" company. You gain a lot of knowledge of how the company runs. Express your interest of becoming a manager to your manager even before there is any manager position open. The next time there is a manager position open you should apply for it. If you get it the first try then great. If not then don't give up. If you try 3 times or so and they still don't give it to you then please feel free to look for a new job. But don't apply for a manager position after working somewhere for only a few months. You need a lot more experience than that. But always give a 2 weeks notice. You want to keep the bridge. Never ever burn the bridge. You never know where you are going to see those people again. And you never know when is the next time you might be wanting to go back to the same company. Good luck!

Just apply for a front office job. At the interview, tell them that you realize that your job history is not consistent, but that you are now looking for a career position. You will not get managemnt right away. Most companies require a degree in business management, but there are some that will promote from within due to experience. Just stay on your job for at least a year or more, and improve your job history. Sometimes you can get a temp job that will turn into a permanent job if they like your work.

Well you should have a management degree before you just go apply for a management position. You will probably have to work somewhere at least a year because they aren't going to consider someone for a management position that bounces around a lot.

Use learntosucceed.biz
They cover key real world topics like; Management, Leadership, Interviewing, Business Communications etc.
I bought their materials and found them the best business manuals I have ever read.
Also with the purchase( I think it was $30) you get access to their advice phone line. The owner author answers your questions! The guy was a hiring manager on Wall Street for many years so he knows what hes talking about.
Well worth it.

Use the experience that you've gained having had "many jobs", however, you don't have to list every job on your resume. Attitude and self confidence is your best bet. Know that you are the best candidate, and if you don't get that job you wanted so badly, then it's their loss and not yours. Good luck
