Hey there,
We believe in career growth, and often times, for career growth to happen you have to change your job every now and then. However, your potential employers might be tempted to view you as a career hopper if care is not taken. So you ask yourself, how do I make sure I come of as a career builder and not a career hopper? As long as you do not quit your job for another job the moment they get bored. The four major things you need to do at every single job you take up are listed below. This way you build a notable reputation for yourself every step of the way.
#1 Be Open To Learning Something New: You must at least learn something to prove that all the time you spent at the company was worthwhile. Whatever you do, ensure that you are learning and you are growing. This way when your prospective employer looks through your resume, they can tell that you are an individual that is always willing and able to learn.
#2 Accomplish A Major Feat: To grow in your career, you need to progress in some certain aspects of your work life, and to achieve this, you need to accomplish some major feats that are rather difficult to accomplish. This is a simple way for employers to differentiate between people who change their jobs due to boredom and those who change their jobs for career growth.
#3 Admitting You Made Mistakes But You Learnt From Them: It is totally human to make mistakes, but even better is when you learn from those mistakes and conquer situations rather that crumbling under the rocks when you make a mistake. This way, the recruiter would view you as a person who is not afraid to take risk to a sensible degree and resolve issues when necessary. Simply put, character and determination are built through trial and error.
#4 Make Connections & Maintain People: Referrals are important and the world of recruiting has evolved. You could leverage networks like Twitter and LinkedIn to find several new job opportunities. This is why you should establish connections with people along the way at each and every job you take up.
Before you leave your current job for your next job consider if you have made a mark with the four tips we listed above. You should make the best out of the opportunity. Otherwise, your resume would point out all you failed to learn.
