I’m concerned that my latest job have been less than a year each on my resume but I’m at my wits end and need to start looking. Do you think I will be overlooked because of the length of time at each company?

You might be overlooked if you’re just submitting applications and resumes to an online job portal and hoping someone even spends 30 seconds scanning it.

But that’s not the best way to get a job anyway. Use your network to help get referrals into the system or introduce you to hiring managers and recruiters at companies you’re interested in. Then you can start off with explaining the reason for the short times (I’m in the same boat as far as only being at Citrix for a short time before the whole merger/acquisition thing, but there’s a very reasonable explanation as to why I’m looking after only a few months, so it’s a non-issue).
