KARTer 2nd Gear July 26, 2011 Share July 26, 2011 (edited) 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.

SimonTan 2nd Gear July 26, 2011 Share July 26, 2011 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to use the stepping-stone method to overcome this. 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.
