Truthfully. It doesn’t sound like you’ve been unreliable or flaky. Just explain the situation about moving and school.
Oh that’s good then!! I hope not!
No need to worry about it at all. You've got a valid reason for every departure. Just explain those reasons to whoever is interviewing you and you'll be fine.
Ah that’s a good idea! Honestly is usually best!

I’d honestly list this somehow on my resume, maybe in the introduction. “Traveling student with xx years of retail experience….”. Maybe with this they’ll have some insight and understand the gaps
Yeah that may be a good idea! Stop the awkwardness

Short stints are easier to explain when there is a clear reason like school or relocation. Being proactive in explaining that narrative helps. Framing it as life circumstances rather than instability usually shifts how it is perceived.
That’s very true!

Totally fair concern. Short stays look different when there’s a clear reason like school or moving, so be upfront and group them under that theme. You can frame it as balancing work with transitions, and highlight what you learned or achieved in each role. Most managers care more about attitude and references than the exact length.
Yeah I think so too!!
