It raises a bunch of red flags to hiring managers myself. In every job there are parts that are somewhere between mind-numbing and straight out boring, but that doesn't mean they don't need to get done. If you're leaving jobs after a short time because you're bored, that makes people think you're lacking the stamina that's necessary to be successful longer term. I personally have a decade on my resume where I changed jobs quite frequently. Most of them were contract or consulting work so by the very nature of them, they were short term. Some people take issue with that, others note the fact that I had no downtime between contracts and choose to ignore the frequent changes. I don't mind junior candidates who change jobs a few times early in their careers as I see that as them getting their bearings, but once people figured out what they want to do, I expect job tenures to lengthen or at least expect people to have a good explanation as to why they kept moving on. You prefer to do short term consulting work over long term jobs? Fine with me. You joined a bunch of startups that ran out of money after a year? OK. |
