The current generations have moved on from this way of thinking. While there is no clear data to support the view that younger workers jump from job to job more than previous generations, most workers today expect <a href=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/en\/blog\/career-coaching-workplace-elegedettseg-noveles\/\" title=\"Are you having fun at work?

Employees are increasingly looking for jobs where employee well-being and engagement are more important than staying with a 'bad' employer. This change has been greatly accelerated by the epidemic of <a href=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/en\/blog\/burnout-syndrome\/\" title=\"Burnout Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes and Solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">burnout and unhealthy working practices<\/a> along with the high sensitivities due to the \"Great Recession\" came the \"Great Resignation\", forcing some employers to fill difficult positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meddig-celszeru-minimum-egy-munkahelyen-maradni-Van-egy-minimalis-idotartam-ameddig-egy-munkahelyen-kell-maradniaXFeatured.webp\" alt=\"What is the minimum length of time you should stay in one job?

The epidemic is a big factor that has caused many people to lose their jobs, be made redundant or quit for many reasons. Especially in the current tight labour market, recruiters are <a href=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/en\/executive-coaching\/\" title=\"Executive Coaching Leadership Coaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managers<\/a> are more understanding of the gaps in their jobs or changes in general.\" (<strong>Glassdoor<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smets (<strong>Oxford University<\/strong>) argues that while some stigma may remain about leaving a job after a year, the traditional ideal length of employment is about to be called into question amid a \"major power shift\" between employers and employees. But he also says the new employer will need to explain the suspiciously short length of time on your CV: \"The critical part of the story is to make it plausible why the new job is the chosen destination, not an escape route.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do the Recruiting Leaders \"want\"?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recruitment managers want to know why you want to be there, just to get some reassurance that you will stay. They may also want to know how you left your previous job. Explain how you decided to leave a previous organisation, but still organised a strong handover and set a departure date that wouldn't let your team down - even if it was only a month away. If you can do this, you can demonstrate reliability and commitment, even if you're changing jobs quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meddig-celszeru-minimum-egy-munkahelyen-maradni-Van-egy-minimalis-idotartam-ameddig-egy-munkahelyen-kell-maradnia.webp\" alt=\"How long should you stay in a job as a minimum There is a minimum length of time you should stay in a job #1What do Recruiting Managers &quot;want&quot;?\" class=\"wp-image-5309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meddig-celszeru-minimum-egy-munkahelyen-maradni-Van-egy-minimalis-idotartam-ameddig-egy-munkahelyen-kell-maradnia.webp 512w, https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meddig-celszeru-minimum-egy-munkahelyen-maradni-Van-egy-minimalis-idotartam-ameddig-egy-munkahelyen-kell-maradnia-480x480.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 512px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the job you've left is very different from the one you originally applied for, that's fine. \"Often, companies and hiring managers don't bother to give a realistic preview of the job, or don't do enough work to know how well they know the job and can pass it on to the employee. So the employee is expecting things that aren't, and it becomes something completely different.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I mean...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally speaking, if you leave a job quickly, the \"key is to be honest and provide context\". But he suggests that to explain a quick departure, focus on the positive themes that relate to the new role rather than diving into a deeper analysis of past failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different experiences or career breaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\"If a prospective employer asks you about past experiences that you know were not ideal, it's better to keep the conversation diplomatic and focus on why you're excited about the new role or company. What you bring to a job and what you're excited about matters now, and means more to a hiring manager than what's left behind.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agiliscoach.hu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hard skills &amp; Soft skills<\/a> vs. risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/coachlab.hu\/en\/career-coaching\/\">convince a prospective employer<\/a> whether you're the right choice, even though you've bounced around a bit from job to job, ultimately depends on whether they believe your skills outweigh the risk of you leaving. \"Employers want people they can invest in who will stay and grow within the company and in their role.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 has-custom-font-size is-style-outline has-medium-font-size is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"#email\">Let's work together!
