Today the average person changes jobs ten to fifteen times
(with an average of 12 job changes), 12 job changes in a person’s working life,
WOW! Long gone are those days where you had one job for 30 years and then
retired. If you are halfway through your working life and you have a number of
job changes, you are a vocational traveller. In our current working environment,
it is acceptable to be a vocational traveller, it is almost expected. If a
hiring manager sees one or two jobs on your resume there is a chance your
resume would be passed over for someone who had more jobs on their resume as
they would be perceived to have more experience, which is not necessarily true.
Changing jobs can be quite stressful. You may have had to
change jobs due to no fault of your own due to corporate restructure and
redundancy, or you have decided to jump ship as your current role is no longer
enjoyable, or you have hit the promotional celling, or just had to change jobs
for one reason or another.
Here we go again, another entry on the resume, time to
update LinkedIn, gotta make the recruitment agencies rounds, Seek and Indeed
become your best friends again. The looming question is, where is my next crust
of bread coming from?
Not only being a Transitional Life Coach supporting
corporate people through their ongoing career and job changes, I too was once a
vocational traveller and did find the constant job changing stressful, learning
new environments & cultures, new procedures and processes, who is who in
the Zoo and of course, who was going to help you and who was going to undermine
you.
