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.

Don't just be over-qualified. There are tons of people that are over qualified. Very few truly show effort which is what every employer seeks.

KNOW more about their company than they do about you. Do your research on them and have a set of questions for them showing so.

Go to Linkedin and find the person you are interviewing w/ now and connect with them. Make sure your profile there matches your resume too.

Go get'em girl.

People actually use Linkedin?

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
