Message Name: What's the definition of a job hopper?
Date Posted: 08/13/2004
Message: I had a hard time finding a job after graduation last May. I did some sporadic contracting with one company in my chosen field before I landed a full-time job. Nonetheless, the main reason why I took my current job was because I had no other options and I needed to work. I'm feel like I could be compensated better elsewhere and I'd like to see what the market is like a year later, but I've had two jobs in a little over a year and I'm not sure how that would look to a potential employer. Is this a barrier to getting an interview? Should I chill out and wait longer?
