Dear Rob,
I am currently in-between jobs, in short, I'm a bum. I am already in my mid-30s and I feel that time is running out on me.
I started actively applying for a job this January after taking a very long vacation. Since I sent out my resume last January, I have been interviewed by at least five companies already. I know I am good at what I do. I speak well and I presented myself to the best of my ability.
Yesterday, I went to the sixth job interview. It went well I think. However, I am getting impatient. I mean, for some reason or another, I have yet to stay in a company for more than two years and yesterday, I was called out about it.
The interviewer questioned my loyalty about the companies I work before. For all the six companies I have worked before, there were reasons, valid reasons, why I left. In the long run, I never realized that these have tremendous effect on the perception of my future employers.
I am sharing this to you so that your readers may come to realize what I just realized now, to be forward thinking, to really think about the future.
I cannot really say that I regret my past decisions in life, but the thing is, I should have also considered the repercussions it would have in my future.
I know it is not too late for me and I am glad that I am still young enough to realize that I should love my work no matter what, and so the company I will be working for will be lucky because I would be loving it well beyond my retirement.
Best regards,
Anonymous
