Chronic job hoppers are probably familiar with the adage, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
Too often, the inclination to move from job to job raises questions about candidates:
-
Does it make them difficult to get along with?
-
Do they lack communication prowess?
-
Are they sure they’re on the right career path?
Data from Fast Company say it’s time to retire the stigma of being a flaky job hopper.
Here’s why:
Millennials are changing corporate culture
Young people are becoming a commanding force in a variety of industries. In turn, they’re altering the definition of “a successful career.”
Along with their wide-eyed optimism and determined work ethic, they’re always on the hunt for “the next best thing.” That often means job hopping, which business writer Vivian Giang says is a good thing.
She writes:
There are a lot of arguments for jumping ship every few years. The economy isn’t what it used to be—and never will be again. Workers who stay with a company longer than two years are said to get paid 50 percent less , and job hoppers are believed to have a higher learning curve, be higher performers and even to be more loyal because they care about making a good impression in the short amount of time they know they’ll stay with each employer.
Job hopping sets a higher bar for employees
When newcomers enter an office, they often want to exceed employer expectations. As a result, they work harder.
The Muse’s Stacey Gawronski says:
Career-builder indicates that [a job seeker’s] movement has to do with a quest for learning and knowledge. It’s a phrase you should start incorporating into your professional tale.
Before leaving for greener pastures, most young employees want to learn new skills and expand their résumés. They’ll often give you their best stuff before departing.
She adds:
As long as you’re making a strong impression, helping the company’s bottom line, and not burning any bridges on your way out the door, you can comfortably keep adding jobs to your budding resume with impunity.
Are you beginning another year with the same company? Perhaps it’s time for a change.
