I would definitely ask about the job changes during the interviewing process. I would ask something like 'what prompted or motivated the changes in position during your time at the University?'. Your answer there would be key.

I hope they ask this because my answers are very legitimate, I think. . .

-Left my four year job because it was a student job, moved up and into the real world
-Left my 9/12-7/13 position because it was an administrative job, moved on to a managerial position (much more in line with what I was qualified for and capable of)
-Interested in moving positions again (to the job I am interviewing for tomorrow) because I am not really challenged in my current position. I'm very good at what I do now, but I would like more engaging work. (and better pay, obvs.)

Those are all excellent responses. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If you are upwardly mobile it does not look bad.

Aka
1 shit job
2 ok job
3 better job
4 best.


I have bounced up and never got gruff about it.

But I am IT and it is all about the education.

I've just worked at the same company for the last 5.5 years cause I'm a bum. Could probably make more elsewhere.

I did a stint for 4. Went on two interviews and got a 40% bump, for 1/3rd of the work. My employer thought that *as much overtime as I want* is a benefit.

An Employer is ultimately not going to be loyal to you. Why not maximize your earnings?

Spent 5 years working with mentally challenged adults, and you all wonder why im half retarded, after the first year they went into a wage freeze. 4 years of dealing with rnf forum trolls in real life but having to smile while do it for 9.50 an hour with no hope of a raise.

as far as resume's go, total BS I'd be surprised if half of the employers even look at them, its the exact same information you have to write on an application
