Do's and don't in applying for a job? |
should you list all your former jobs if you have changed jobs frequently? yes, if you get caught in a lie later on, your employer can fire you no if you changed job so much because if you do put you will have to explain it why quit each job and it will show your a job jumper I DO NT THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY WISE AS AN EMPLOYER I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR STABILITY ... No. I am not an expert, but I've helped my sons with their resumes and in doing so acquired some insights. You don't have to give a chronology of your work any more. Tailor your resume to the job requirements and your achievements in the positions, like recognitions, if you have any. Such as: 5 years of high level patient care in Critical Care Units of major, urban hospitals. Received performance awards in each of those years for outstanding service--something like that. Look at the job requirements, and see how your qualifications fit. Also state how your work experience can contribute to the position you are applying for. Don't make things up. Say you will provide references upon request. Good luck. P.S. I guess you will have to be prepared to explain why you changed jobs, but I wouldn't volunteer the info but be honest, as well. It's not uncommon any more for people to move from one job to the next--looking for advancement opportunities, downsizing, reorganization, sale of company, relocation. If you get asked if you were ever fired, you have to be honest about that. Yes, you need to list all of your jobs. Otherwise, what are you going to say when asked about the voids? I look for stability and longevity. Time to buckle down and stick with one job for a while. |
