[quote=an]So glad I never had to deal with people like svelte and deadzone earlier in my career while interviewing.[/quote]

Sounds as if you’re a jumper. I wouldn’t want to train you up just to have you jump to another position a year later. That would be frustrating!

I get that there are exceptions, those who worked for companies that folded, etc. If there are good reasons for the jumps, I would certainly listen – and then I would verify those reasons were true. But the truth is, I would probably never even arrange the interview once I glanced at the resume…so the probability you would have had to deal with folks like me is low to begin with.
