How long have you been with your current (or former) employer?
Answer:
This is a hot-button question if your résumé reflects considerable job-hopping. Excellent performers tend to stay in their jobs at least three to five years. They implement course corrections, bring in new resources, and, in general, learn how to survive-that's why they are valued by prospective employers.
If your résumé reflects jobs with companies that were acquired, moved, closed, or downsized, it is still viewed as a job-hopper's history. Volunteer and go to events where hiring authorities may be found. Ratchet up your networking to include anything that exposes you to hiring authorities who can get past your tenure issue because now they know you. Your networking efforts have never been so important.
