Be Honest with Employers
Some job seekers have hopped around from job to job, taken extensive time off, and are applying for positions that they are not qualified for. By misleading a potential employer, you will not get the job that you are wanting. It is always better to be honest, direct, and straightforward with the employer to lessen their concerns.
Job Hopping. Job hopping is when a job seeker works at multiple companies for one year or less. This is not seen as a positive trait and is usually frowned upon. In an effort to keep their interest, it is best to:
- Focus on your achievements and how this will benefit their organization.
- Be honest, direct, and straightforward.
- Address the issues from the beginning by clarifying it on your cover letter.
Job Gaps. Job gaps are when there is a prolonged period of time that you were not employed. This is a red flag for an employer and you will be asked about the situation. To resolve this, it is best to:
- Fill in the gaps. Attend college and volunteer while searching for a job.
- Contract work. Take a temporary job while seeking a permanent position.
- Be honest. Any major gaps need to be addressed with a reasonable response.
Experience. Do not exaggerate your experience when you are looking for a new job. Employers will check your references, perform a background check, and ask you questions that only a person with the true level of experience would know the answers to. If you mislead an employer in anyway, they will not hire you.
