But I completely agree that different things work for different people. I've been on both sides - I've had a job for four years straight in college and I've job-hopped since then. Depending on your goals, personality and life-stage, you may choose one or the other.Rebeccahttp://modite.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517396034954326602.post-27528523263672120982009-05-06T11:58:00.000-05:002009-05-06T11:58:00.000-05:00I found the most compelling part of this post to b...I found the most compelling part of this post to be part 4 because at that point you're 'unpacking' the notion that different people fit with different jobs, and that there are nearly always an entirely different set of circumstances.<br /><br />You shouldn't stay at your current job for the sake of it, if you're not happy and satisfied just so you can have a more stable resume. Great companies will find a way to satisfy their employers, and as a result their employers will work harder and stay put longer.<br /><br />In most cases, there's no such thing as a 'stable job' anyway in this economy. Tenure probably works in SOME cases, but there's many others where they'll keep the young, new employee and fire the old guard b/c they can justify paying the newbie less. <br /><br />Some of my most successful friends have job-hopped, A LOT. I suspect most uber successful people know when the time is right to make the break for the benefit of their career, but most of Gen Y still doesn't know what the hell they want (hence the job-hopping sometimes.)<br /><br />I think you have good advice to offer on the subject, but may be potentially short-selling yourself with a couple of blanket statements.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Liza!Ryan Stephenshttp://ryanstephensmarketing.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
