HR expert assessed the risks of frequent job changes

Frequent job changes are not a problem in themselves, but they can raise questions from employers if they are associated with unfinished tasks and constant dissatisfaction. Valentina Romanova, HR director of the developer Level Group, told Izvestia about this on March 23.

"The very nature of employment has changed significantly in recent years. Previously, a person got a profession and could work in it until retirement, but today many specialties are quickly becoming obsolete, and market requirements are constantly changing. Now a person must be responsible for their own professional relevance. The labor market has become more flexible: the number of freelancers, project employment, and consulting is growing," the specialist explained.

According to her, the pandemic gave an additional impetus to this process, after which remote and hybrid employment formats spread. As a result, many specialists started working on several projects at once, and employers began to evaluate not the employee's working life, but his competence and ability to solve specific tasks.

What is the current situation with the shortage of personnel in the main industries

Romanova emphasized that frequent job changes can be perceived positively if an employee demonstrates completed projects and measurable results. This is especially true for entry-level professionals who are actively looking for a suitable direction and gaining experience.

At the same time, frequent transitions in higher positions may raise doubts. If a top manager leaves the company without completing strategic tasks, employers may regard this as a sign of instability.

The expert noted that the key factor in the assessment is not the length of work, but the logic of career transitions and the results achieved. In cases where an employee regularly changes jobs without completing projects, this creates a negative impression.

"A healthy relationship between an employer and an employee is based on partnership and mutual respect. And the main indicator of such a partnership is fulfilled commitments and achieved results. And in a rapidly changing labor market, it is the ability to constantly develop and prove your worth with results that becomes the main factor in a successful career," concluded the HR expert.

On February 19, Tatiana Bogoslovskaya, Head of the recruitment sector at Fix Price, explained how to create a successful resume. According to her, it is important to remember that a recruiter spends only a few minutes on an initial review, so the document should be as clear and structured as possible. First of all, it is recommended to clearly indicate the desired position and key competencies. Special attention should also be paid to work experience.
