Description

Have you changed jobs several times and worry recruiters might see it as a red flag?


In this episode, I unpack the stigma around job hopping and what it really means in today’s job market.


We’ll explore both sides of the story — from the candidate’s perspective (life’s too short for toxic workplaces) to the hiring manager’s mindset (balancing consistency and curiosity).


You’ll learn:

- Why recruiters often misjudge frequent job moves

- How to explain your career story with honesty and confidence

- What hiring managers should do instead of dismissing job hoppers

- Why modern careers look different — and that’s okay


After years in executive search, I’ve seen how great talent often hides behind unconventional career paths. This video will help both candidates and employers think differently about what makes a strong career story.
