Hi Gilbert,
I graduated in 2009 from UniSIM. Since then, I have been in 3 different jobs, each lasting about 1 year plus to 2 years. Each job ended in retrenchment, and now my resume looks horrible.
Every interviewer asks why I do not stay long in the company, asks why every previous job retrenched me.
My current job I took it desperately because I was out of job for 5 months (not long compared to others in your website). This is a totally new job scope different from my previous jobs.
Now I am really worried about my next career move (if I don’t get retrenched again) since all my jobs so far have no relevance to each other, each taken up due to a sense of desperation after retrenchment.
It is getting harder to explain to interviewers the big change in industries and the chain of retrenchments.
Do you have any career advice how to proceed in such a situation?
Thomas
