Is it bad job hopping? I couldn't find pleasure or thrill in anything I do.

Every time I get a job, I started to lose compass with no direction and then ended up in boredom.

I mean, I putting risk to live as a homeless rather than live in luxury.

I am very dumb.

Some people said I can't take the heat.

I guess my career is over.
sometimes you have to do things you dislike in order to have things you need..

@SStarfish I am traumatised
after humiliated in the public. Not to mention this social media world. I could easily got cancelled if I make mistake.
I know this phobia is irrelevant.
I tried to get rid of it many times and failed.

It doesn't impress future employers. If you keep job-hopping you may end up only getting jobs other people don't want.

@Fluffybull I'm aware of that. I don't know why I got easily give up when being pressured.

@iamelijah Maybe you're applying for jobs that are wrong for you. Have you had any careers advice?
iamelijah · 26-30, M
@Fluffybull None. I always want to apply works less social with customers but I don't qualify enough due to my physcial appearances.

I job hop because people keep trying to get to know me on a personal level after only working with them for a few months. We aren’t buddies just because we work at the same place. I wouldn’t go to work if they stopped paying me. It’s not like I apply for these jobs thinking it’ll be a social event.

@HermannFegelein Are you still doing it?

How the employer respond?

@iamelijah well I’m definitely slowing down. I recommend you present your past job hopping as unique experiences that have each taught you new skills. Some, not all employers make a big deal about it. You’ll also want to look out for job postings that sound desperate. They’ll often say things like “apply today, start tomorrow” or at times it will explicitly say that they don’t mind an applicant with gaps in employment. I recommend applying for “Temp-to-hire” postings. These are jobs where you are employed through a third party to work at job site of a different business. An example would be like the one I used to work for called Kelly Services. I worked for Kelly Services but they had a short term assignment for me (6 months) over at Intel. At the end of the 6 months I was asked if I wanted to be an employee at Intel but I declined. This is a good way to work jobs short term without it looking bad on your resume because it was never expected that I stay working past those 6 months. It may have been highly encouraged but by no means required. Most of these 3rd party staffing agencies have a handful of jobs like this available and most are 4-6 months in length which is nice. Most of them will offer you a permanent position with the companies if you work hard and have good attendance but you don’t have to stay with them. So far I’ve got a profile with these staffing agencies: Corporate Job Bank, Kelly Services, Aerotek, pro logistics. But there are many others out there.
