My longest time spent on the same job was 7yrs++, learned the most during the time.

Shortest is less than 2 months (2 such jobs/situations).... realised within the 1st week of work I shouldnt be wasting time with the job.

Another 2-month stint was planned as a stepping stone to the next job. Next job's boss knew previous job's boss well wont take staff from him. I had to use the stepping-stone method to overcome this.

Learn from the FT n PR.

Local boss love to see a well experienced employees with multiple different work experiences.

Staying too long on a single job is not worthwhile in the current state.

my longest is 5 years.

 

shortest is 8 months - a job i called the proverbial 有夜无日 because i went in early for work and never see daylight each day haha. working like 14-16 hours per day and burnt sat and sun fairly regularly. each week the hours i put in typically 70+ to 90.

 

i didn't want to give up despite a difficult environment and supervisor but in the end since i found another job, no reason to continue suffering under the ungrateful ingrates. [:p]

My current job is my 2nd one only...

The shortest stay I experience from a person I hired is 4 hours.

1st day he came and after lunch time he didn't come back. Called him no reply, finally called his home, his mum replied me he donwan the job as the office environment seemed very stressful.

 

Wonder whether he is still working or still a mummy's boy...
