The IT industry mostly always hires Talent over Experience, and Potential over Capability, because being smart and hardworking is more desirable than just being able to do the job based on prior experience. There's no such thing as Job Hopping in IT and the Health Industry, since moving around is very common and desirable. Great videos, Ben!
I think you should also make a video about what candidates hate in a job interview. In my opinion, I hate questions (and I am appalled recruiters call them hypothetical) such as “what will you do if you become the president of a country”, “what’s your long term goal”, “why do you wanna work here”, “do you think you are under qualified or over qualified”. These are all BULL-CRAP interview questions.
Honestly if ur resume lines up with the position that whole why do you want to work here bs needs to go out the window. Interviews should be set in order to actually get to know you and see if you fit in the culture both ways and that's it, they have the resume n the references end of story. Lol
what I hate in an interview is the DAMN STAR interview and if you didn't adhere to it like they think you should. DUH...it is a proven NON-EFFECTIVE way to determine ANYTHING but telling a story. And really most mgrs can't tell anyone ELSE about WHO is on their team these days...they don't care about their jobs or their teams whatsoever.
Being totally honest here I am one of the guys with an average of 1.5 years and I am doing ok aha. Actually a recruiter told me a while ago that my job stability was fine in their opinion. But I never apply to management positions, not my thing tbh. For normal engineering roles they don't really care. For what I see, the turnover rate in engineering is about 2 years at best.
The job hopping point is good; however debatable. There are a lot of hiring managers out there that will question your change after 2 years in one position. But it's also important to realize that the whole world in general is moving at a much faster pace and switching jobs frequently should be normalized.
I tend to agree that hiring managers need to lighten up on the scrutiny of people with relatively shorter stints. If it’s a ton of stops I get it, it’s still about risk mitigation.
In disgrace, there are many bad bosses and the consequences, YES! there are job-hopers too, probably a job-hoper is a good worker and simply, he/she didn't already have a good opportunity to have a permanent job
I think job hoping depends on what kind of work you do, I'm a server one of my co workers explained it best we are always looking for the next thing chasing money. I actually got questioned in my last interview because I only stood 2 yrs, 2yrs but depending that's actually a long time, if the money and culture ain't there I'm out just like their high turnover rate. But I have to make up excuses because the interviewers don't seem to understand that in my hometown.
4:25 - which is stupid because they should know companies now more than ever ask for contract work. And they can hate it all they want, so don't call the one that applied for the job. It's their choice.
I actually like your videos, I like your tone and your level of engagement. I feel you should definitely have more subscribers, and hope your channel continues to grow 💪
Hi Ben, thank you for your informative content! I have a question about the 'Job Hopper'. Why don't recruiters or hiring managers see it as someone who has diverse knowledge through experience as a positive thing? I've explained to my interviewers how my diverse job skills are applicable to the role. From my experience in Fraud Analytics, Customer Service, Technical Support. Ok... Now I can understand why they think I'm all over the place. But, if I've been at the same job for nine years, do they really expect me to stay in the same role the entire time if a similar role isn't open and I'm ready for a change?.. I can somehow hear you saying, "And that's fine, but just be ready to explain it--in a way favorable to the role that you are interviewing for". 🤦♀️ I appreciate the energy and content in your videos!
Hi!!! This is a great but also nuanced question. There are so many variables. Some hiring managers will understand, appreciate and want to leverage your diverse experience. Others will be terrified of needing to replace you if you decide to go try something new. The lengths of the stays and how effectively you communicate the benefits will certainly play a role in how it’s perceived, outside of those own biases of course. I am going to make a video on this topic and talk through it in long form content. Hope this helps!
@@BenTalksTalent And you're exactly right. I've had some employers tell me flat out tell me that although I have a good set of diverse skills they refuse to hire me because I may leave once there is no more to learn and I've already reached the role's highest salary band. And, they "are looking for a candidate who is simply happy to have a job." 😐
Just had a conversation with my boss who interviewed someone today who clearly wanted to leave their current job... but didn't have much drive for where they wanted to go TO. The list of complaints about the current company was long and they had very little to say about what they wanted to move to & listed off a few job descriptions as they said they're open to "whatever."
For the job hopper one, I’ve so far only had 1 job and it was a seasonal job but I was laid off because their was a lot of people and I’m hoping to get an other job but not seasonal, would hiriring managers call that job hopping cuz I would like to know, I worked there for 4 months, instead of 5 years like they would like, I started working at 16, I know that’s no excuse because I should have worked before that so I would have more experience but I’m hoping to work longer, also I’m a senior and that’s really low since I should’ve had more jobs than that
No, if it’s seasonal it shouldn’t be considered non hopping. In fact I would put on my resume next to the dates (seasonal) so it’s apparent to those reading it.
