My cousin is 26 years old. She has been changing job every years. She is now working as a social worker helping people with mental health problem for 9 months. She wants to quit her job again because she want to work for refuge camps agency. This is her last year in Grad Program. She is going to be busy with school, therefore, I told her to hang on to her job until graduate.
She did not want to take my suggestion. She thinks I am old fashion---I am very royal to my organization. I have been working at the same company for 3 years. I do not want to change my job until I will finish my degree.
Do you think it is a good idea to change jobs constantly? Will employer hire someone like me or my cousin?
Thank you so much for your kindness. Have a wonderful day.

By age 26 she should have some idea what she wants to do with her life .. maybe a Nurse ? ..
Many people find the same job 'boring' after the first few months .. so maybe she is the ideal 'Temp' worker ??
She may find it difficult to get a 'permanent' job, expect perhaps in areas of high staff turnover == for example Sales.
She will also start to find if difficult to Rent a flat, get a Mortgage, Credit etc. (they all expect you to have 3 years employment history before they start to believe you are 'low risk').
.. and someone who has a new job every year could find the next job hard to come by.
BEST ADVISE ?
She will do what SHE wants to do and what she is happy with == you have done your duty in pointing out the drawbacks of flitting from one job to the next == but it's her life, let her live it. Later on, if she comes back with 'why did you let me ?', don't be shy about saying 'I told you so ..

Young people need to try this and that and have a few changes until they know what it is that they like to do.
The reality is that the job she has right now is quite difficult, so if she can change jobs and give good reasons for her next choice of job, then it would be a good move. She should then try to stick with that job for at least 2 years. So maybe she should take some time to think of what she might like to do for 2 years, before she jumps too quickly into another temporary job. She could take a personality test to find a job suitable for her personality and interests. Does she like to work in a group with people, or to work alone at a desk for instance? Does she like to wear beautiful clothes to work, or just anything? Does she want to work downtown, or out in the suburbs/country or industrial area? She should make a list of what she wants. She does need to settle down at some stage, the sooner the better.

If someone is changing jobs too often it does tell me that they may be flighty, but not changing jobs you will have less versatility. This is the time in her career to change jobs and find what she really likes to do. For you, if your happy stay at your current place of employment, but if your not happy, put your resume out there and attend some job fairs and see what happens. Loyalty is a good quality, but I think some diversity is also a good quality.

in todays age there is no such thing as loyalty to a company, loyalty wont put food in your belly when the company pays you off to save some money. i learnt the hard way to not give any company my loyalty, been paid off after doing all the crap jobs too many times. yes an employer will hire you or your cousin, if people are willing to work theres always a job for them.

I am an employer and can tell you this answer: Would I hire her? Depends. If it's obvious looking at her resume that she's trying to find what makes her happy, sure I'd give her a shot. If it's obvious from her resume that she lacks commitment --bouncing from one company in the same industry to another in the same industry -- no, I would not hire her. Depending on her age (which I'm assuming is 20s?), it's fairly typical to bounce around until you find what makes you happy. Give her your suggestion but remember, it's her life and she must do what makes her happy -- not you.

you need to actual artwork on the United international locations. You look to have somewhat some artwork journey, and you need to artwork as a CSR or some thing like that. A CSR is a client help representative. you're able to could initiate small yet once you artwork properly, you will get somewhat some promotions. My aunt works on the United international locations in enormous apple.

the people that job hop seem to be able to keep getting them somehow. don't burn any bridges and you will always have a good reference for the next job, as long as you have good references or letters of recommendation it usually helps. I have moved a lot and that is what I use. your reputation will help get you there but it needs to be a good reputation
