Work History

Employers keep telling me they want to see resumes of candidates who have no more than 2 jobs in the past 10 years. Before the recession hit, I could agree with that but we all need to get into the mindset of what the past few years have done to our workforce. My advice to clients has been to chock up the last 3 years to candidates doing whatever it took to earn any sort of income and to look at the stability they demonstrated pre-2007. I would love to hear from hiring managers as to whether or not this makes sense to them as we all need to be realistic about the changes we have been forced to endure.
