Darlene Said:

How do I land a career position with a financial services company after job hopping for the past 5 years?

We Answered:

1) Education - Are you qualified? FS is a very competitive area so you will need to be at the top of your game.
2) DONT JOB HOP. I am an employer and I will not hire someone who has job hopped for any position other than a secretary. I want to see at least one job that has lasted minimum 2.5 years but will prefer someone with 3 years plus. Why? Because you can coast through a job that long but at about 2.5 years your actual performance in the past can catch up to you. Without this I will not hire anyone.
3) Dont play games in the interview, do not lie about ANYTHING as we can tell. Employers have generally done thousands of interviews, we can tell immediately when you are not telling the truth. If you are honest about something that is not great this will actually work in your favour as honesty is something that we look for.

Thats it really. If you can talk the talk AND walk the walk go for it. But first stop job hopping, no one will touch you if you dont.
