Are you having trouble explaining why you tansitioned from one job to another , especially if you have had several positions within a short period of time. I recently presented a good candidate to a client who had reservations about even doing a telephone screen with my candidate. Some client's will say, if the candidate has had more than three jobs in the past five years, do not even bother sending their resume for consideration for a particular position. Some people are truly job hoppers and will never find a real home , so to speak. Others are simply victims of circumstance. It is really important to articulate the reason's for your job changes. It could possibly make or break a deal. Were you with a start up that ran out of funding ? Were you offered another position in a different part of the country but unable to relocate? Was your division eliminated ? After writing a letter to my client regarding a candidates transitions and coaching my candidate on how to handle different transitions, the client agreed to give my candidate an opportunity to speak with them. He received an offer letter last Friday. If you truly have good reasons for making job changes and need some coaching, visit my web site which is www.bradfordcareerservices.com
