Is that too short? What is the OT's opinion on skipping jobs? Does hiring managers/ HR really care about you looking for new challenges?

If you're that good, they'll do what it takes to keep you.

Some employers care about basic English.

I find that very hard to believe unless you include high school and college students with part time/summer jobs. The job-hoppingest person I know changes jobs every couple of years at most, and they are an exception.

well im sure in that number it is account for all those unimployed asses that change their title every 2 weeks to "Entrepreneur" or "Business Manager" for some blog they created on a free blog site.

This is primarily due to your Aggy Dean enjoying the blowjobs.

This plus a lot of people remove older jobs as they advance which skews their metrics assuming they simply aggregated and averaged all of the user posted data.

That seems pretty short but like others noted, there are ways/points of view to skew that data.

But if you're job hopping every 8 months in big boy land, you're either the hottest shite out there or the most incompetent but smooth talking jackass in the land, with not much room for a middle ground.

I don't think employers care and neither do employees. There is no real loyalty from either side anymore. It's a different world.

What is LinkedIn? Is that a Government database?
