How many jobs have you had?
« on: September 11, 2013, 07:57:12 am »
nice easy question for a wed morning..

How many jobs have you had?

Reason i ask.. i'm currently sitting here updating my CV and curious as to what people think may be an excessive number?

I'm 31, and the CV reads that i'm on number 8 since i left school at 16. (two were my apprenticeship as my first employers went under)

What would be considered "job hopping"?

I'm also 31 and have been PAYE for 12 firms, sounds a lot but some were just small jobs/one off trips.

In my current job I get hired out to companies like NOV & Aker etc most trips but they're not counted  :ashamed:

which NOV office?

I'm not sure "job hopping" is as big a deal offshore than it is for jobs at home as lot of guys change rigs alot.. well thats what i'm hoping as i want a move off this platform already! haha

About 12 on my CV, I think, but I have skipped a few short ones by padding out the dates either side!

this.

Don't list all your job on your CV. last 5 years or 3 jobs is sufficient, I have had to make my way through thousands of CV's recently and anything more than 2 pages gets binned  :laugh:

I don't have a CV... I think the last time I did one was when you do a mock one during A levels.  :signLOL:
