How can i write a decent resume, when ive had 5 jobs in the last three to four years?

Question

Honestly its been jobs i got tired of, and not knowing what i really wanted to pursue. now im having a difficult time (which i should expect) finding a job. how can i best smooth over the fact ive been job hopping? i know most employers do not like that but am i now screwed?

Answer 1

just be very careful, and You do not have to list all of them.. an employee is very limited on what he can say about You ..

Answer 2

Just dont list them all....duh!

Answer 3

he he, ive had 18 jobs in an 9 year period. and in the last jobs, i only lasted like 3 months, or one month and a half. I'm screwed some more than you. ive changed 6 jobs in one year, i received three w2 forms. because i kept coming back to my old job, and they would hire me. what should i and you do? Lie. find a local business that just went bankruptcy, and say that you were working there for five years, and that will solve the problem.

Answer 4

whatever you decide to do just don't tell potential employers that you left a job because you got tired of it, that sounds bad. If you weren't at a job even long enough for the probationary period I wouldn't even list that one.

Answer 5

that is actually not as unpopular as it was 10 or 20 years ago.  you are not screwed not by a long shot.  did you leave each of your last jobs on good terms?  if so, just list them all and put references of people who will tell good things about you.

Answer 6

I would go to a functional resume, which first highlights the skills you have, and then after that lists the jobs and the dates.  Puts the focus on what you have done, rather than where you have done it.  Do NOT lie.  

Answer 7

Just list the jobs by which you stayed the longest and the others you could summarize them by collaborating them together discussing your experiences nor more than 3 sentences. Have a great day!
