Could Job Hopping Benefit Your Teaching Career?

by

 

Previous years job hopping has been regarded as a negative aspect and was seen that the individual clearly had trouble holding down a job or lacked commitment and focus on their job. Things are in fact changing and what previously was a deal breaker for a candidate could now be in their favour with the current climate.

Changing your job frequently is now common amongst millennials who can progress in their career by using different companies as stepping stones to their path to success, whereas previously this had to be done in one single organisation.

One of the most valuable traits was security when it came to potential employee hiring decisions. It indicated that they were more likely to stick around if given the job, than a job hopper. Nowadays having a number of jobs doesn’t mean that you’re a job hopper. Employers see this experience as you wanted to generate more skills and experience, in a variety of environments. So, do you agree? Do you think that job-hopping in this current climate can affect your career?

Here are a few of the benefits of job hopping:

1) Earn more

If you stay in the same job for years, you will be aware that pay-rises are few and far between and probably not as generous as you would hope for. By beginning a new role at a new company, it’s highly likely to result in your salary increasing and an opportunity for negotiation.

2) Gain new skills

Working in different jobs and companies will give you the opportunity to gain new skills, and you’re able to experience different processes and techniques. Remember that with every new role will come new experiences different colleagues and the varied responsibilities. This is always beneficial for your future career prospects.

3) Experience different company cultures

Job hoppers working their way through different companies throughout their career will experience a variety of company sizes, industries, and people. This quality will be attractive to potential employers as they will be filled with ideas and suggestions.

4) Move up the career ladder faster

Promotions can often take a while, and it all depends on the size of the organisation you’re in. It’s common that there won’t be a senior position available within the company unless someone leaves and you can’t guess when that will be.

If you prove yourself and convince your boss that you deserve an opportunity then you can remove all these stigmas, and you can go to where the vacancies are rather than wait around for the opportunity to arise.

5) Multiple employers on resume

Some employers are hesitant when it comes to hiring people whose CV demonstrates short stints at various companies, although some do love that people have a diverse background. Multiple cultures that consist of different management styles and responsibilities can create a well-rounded employee- believe in yourself!
