For hiring managers, is 1-2 year experience per previous job a turnover risk? I have 2-year customer service experience, and almost 2-year cook experience, and yet still no response from jobs I applied to. I still haven’t left my job but am looking due to low hours, and low pay.

I don’t think 1-2 years is a huge red flag, but in this environment, it’s just another factor to hire someone else I guess. Everyone’s having a hard time in this industry, so I think it’s just a matter of luck to be able to find a better fit. I still think the best way to get a job is to walk in and talk to the manager!

Thank you for the response ! I’ve been losing confidence because of this thought. Your comment has put me at ease. I’ll keep your advice in mind.

Can depend on the specific. It’s nothing I really bat my eyes at personally, I cannot speak for everyone out there. Would agree with walking in or making a call (during non-busy hours) to ask about your application and if there is anything to follow up on. A lot of places are swamped with applications and sometimes that call can make the difference.

That’s an awesome advice! Thank you.

1-2 years per job can raise eyebrows for some hiring managers, they might worry about turnover risk, but it really depends on how the industry and your story behind it. Be upfront in your resume and interviews about why you switched like seeking growth or better hours. Also, highlight what you accomplished in each role. Sometimes adding a short note on your commitment and career goals can ease those concerns. Don’t get discouraged; persistence pays off.

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!
