Hey bowl need advice for an early career fish. I’m new to the industry and recently took on my second job. First job required relocating, I couldn’t do it with the salary offered so I jumped less than a year into the role. I’m looking to switch to community management and after years, promote to strategist. The issue is I’ve been in my current role less than a year. Will this look bad on my resume as an early career seeker?

No. It’s an extremely common given how tumultuous the industry has been since 2020, especially if you only have 1 jump like that on your resume.

Just have a good, clear answer when they ask you in interviews why you jumped.

Yes! Couldn’t agree more with this.

No I don’t think so - if it’s not a good fit and/or you’re looking to do something else, it’s fine. As long as you can speak to it (if anyone even asks about it), you’re fine.

If you’re changing companies, yes

If you’re changing disciplines maybe just drop the first job off the resume. The stereotypical gen z judgement will happen regardless.

1-2 years at an agency is pretty common nowadays. I interview candidates all the time and have rarely seen a resume without a jump like that.

How long were did you stay at the first job? Could you just leave it off your resume?

I was there 9 months. I’ll probably leave it off my resume.

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
