The potential opening with Felicity's company turned complicated when George highlighted his concern that I could be a potential job hopper.
Looking at my past career history, I left after 6 months with the job in 2004 because of a bad boss, then I stayed home for 6 months to accompany mum for her last days, and then I quickly got onto another a job which I worked only for just over a year before I am laid off. Thi sis then followed by a 6-month break before I landed in the current job, which I am leaving because they only gave me a token increment.
I am hence a Job hopper.
I am not angry with George.
He has to point it out to Felicity because all of us are many years of good friends and her career would be tainted if I were to join her company for a year and changed my mind.
He also raise the concern to me and wanted me to commit at least a 3-year stinct.
I told him I am looking for a career not a job and I would stay as long as I could as long as there is no complication. And I told him as long as I am decided I would just chiong forward with the plan.
I don’t think he bought it.
Sigh…
I hate complications.
