Recently, a client of mine expressed concern about a 9-month tenure on their resume, fearing it might brand them as a 'job hopper.' My response? Absolutely not.Terms like 'job hopper' were coined to instill fear and diminish one's value. But let's set the record straight: job hopping isn't the issue. It's a symptom of deeper systemic problems like inadequate compensation, lack of work-life balance, and limited growth opportunities.Remember, you don't owe any corporation your time or mental well-being. You signed a contract, not a life sentence. You have every right to leave for greener pastures whenever necessary.It's time to shift the conversation and hold employers accountable. During interviews, remember it's a two-way street. You're assessing them as much as they're assessing you. Ask about employee tenure and team stability—it's a fair question.So, let's banish the stigma of 'job hopping' and focus on finding the right fit for YOU. Your career journey is yours to navigate, on your terms. OWN ITLet's turn the conversation and put the burden on the employer.
