Question about job jumping?

I had a total of 4 jobs in the past 2 years. I went from a job I hated to a job that promised me certain hours then only gave me 5 hours then to A job I loved but then became to fast paced and could not handle so I went to the job I am at now. The job I want has the hours I want. And people keep telling me that with my history of job jumping that they will not hire me as they want someone who is committed to a job. The job I have now is mostly nights and weekends. And I do not get to spend much time with my husband. Also I am very active in my church and do not want to give up bell choir as bell choir is really the only time we get to spend together. Plus the job I am at now is not giving me the benefits they promised me.

I take my job serious. I give up a lot of stuff for this job. But also they are not giving me the benefits they promised me.

Plus my one co worker says she cant work weekends because no one can watch her kid. And they do not give her a problem. If I want a weekend day off due to a church activity or family function. Its my job comes first. This lady is very lucky she still has her job. As many retail places would not tolerate someone who is not willing to work weekends.

Don S. Again I do take my job very serious. It may not seem like it to you but I do. They promised me benefits after one fiscal year of working there,and now all a sudden they wont give them to. And I still am there even though they are still not giving me the benefits they promised. If I was not serious about my job I would have walked right out and say I quit. Also when I got hired they were ok with the time i needed of for bell choir and my other church activities. I am sure you would be mad also if you got promised benefits and they did not give them to you.

It is only me they give a hard time to about needing to work certain hours not anyone else. The one cashier has off a whole weekend as she crys she cant find a baby sitter for her daughter they say nothing to her . The other cashier cries she cant work certain days because she has no ride they say nothing to her. Yet in your eyes I am not serious about my job because I need to work certain hours due to a church commitment th

that I enjoy with my husband. You work to live not live to work.

And for your information If I have to I will use my break time to go to bell choir practice. Then got back after to finish my shift I am allowed a break by law. I never ask for a whole day off due to my church obligations. There is nothing wrong with needing a few hours off to enjoy a hobby.

Job jumping used to be more of a problem than it is now. There are still employers who have a problem with it, but if you stay at a job at least 6 months--preferably a year--you can still find someone who will hire you. If you're staying at each job less than 6 months, it's a problem...but you also might want to leave those jobs off your resume altogether.

It sounds like you need to understand that there is a problem with every job, and none of them are like they say they'll be. You need to get over what jobs "promise" you, unless it's something that just makes it hard for you to live. You also need to use common sense before you take a job. If you work in retail, it's kind of common sense that you probably will have to work on weekends at least some of the time. If a co-worker was there before you got hired, they are going to have more leeway with their schedule than you do, also. And you can't say you want the hours the job is giving you, then claim you don't get to spend enough time with your husband. Make up your mind what matters most, what you can tolerate, what you can't tolerate--and then take a job accordingly.

I see you as one of those who have no sense of loyalty to their employer nor any real sense of a work ethic. You might say that you take your job seriously but all evidence is to the contrary. The reason they call it work is because there is no such thing as an ideal job. You are hired at the discretion of your employer to perform a service and not for us to cater to your every desire . When I see an employee who is enthusiastic, committed, and willing to be a service to my company I will go out of my way to support them any way I can. When I see the poor attitude complainers who seem to feel that they are doing me a favor to show up at work that morning my patience wears thin.

You want an employers to value you? First try actually providing a value to them.

Your history of job jumping will turn off prospective employers. It appears you find any excuse to leave jobs and don't take them seriously. I would not be interested in hiring you.
