Company Hi-Jacking

You might have heard the term "job hopping" used in a negative context. What most people don't know is that job hopping can be a good thing! It means you've found new success and satisfaction each time you switch to something new.

If you're looking to start company hi-jacking, here are some guidelines on what to do so that it doesn't affect your reputation or future relationships with coworkers:

● Keep your resume up-to-date; update it when you change jobs, even if just for one week. This will help you show them how effective of an employee/manager/teacher you are.

● Try to maintain the same title, but with a higher salary. This might make you seem more marketable and more likely to be accepted by the new company.

● Maintain your relationships with your coworkers, especially if they're in a different department than you. If they accept it and don't hold it against you, they'll be more likely to support you when applying for promotions or opportunities in the future.

The overall approach is fairly simple: don't burn bridges . Changing jobs frequently is something that makes people nervous because of their natural loyalty towards their companies (which I think is a good thing).

So, here are the places you can find success:

● Low-level positions: Sales, entry level Executive Assistant, low-level administrative assistant. These jobs don't require a lot of skill and tend to have less competition. They might also be available in many different cities/states.

● Mid-level positions: Account Manager, Account Director. These jobs generally pay better and demand more skill, but often have less competition than the low level ones.

● High-level positions: As has been said before on this blog, your best chance at success is a job directly related to your previous experience (i.e., sales). If you switch jobs too often, it might be difficult to find something like this.

● Higher-level positions: Try to keep your eyes open for executive positions. They're not always easy to find, but if you look hard enough, you can probably find one that fits your skill set.

● Your own company: If you're smart and capable enough, start up your own business . You'll be in control of everything and won't have to deal with managers or co-workers who don't like you. Also, it'll prove that you can manage things on your own and take initiative.

There's no right or wrong thing to do when it comes to job hopping. Some people think it's a negative thing, while others view it as a positive. Some managers will hate you while others will love you for trying to succeed. Ultimately, it's up to you whether or not you want to continue company hi-jacking.

Hope that helped! If there are any specific questions about the topic, leave them in the comments and I'll answer them as soon as I can!

Until next time: stay awesome!
