Most people never stop to think about how many times the average American changes jobs. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that it’s 10-15 times with an average of 12 jobs.
No longer are people expected to stay with a job forever. If you’re unhappy with your job, you should look for a new job. Even if you’re happy, there may be no room for growth at your current job. You may even want to dip your toe into the job-search waters just to see what’s out there!
Career-minded people need to understand that your resume brands and markets you as a qualified candidate. More importantly, when written incredibly well, it positions you for higher salary offers.
