(nep321)"Back in 2006 when I was 22 years old, I graduated from college with a BS in Accounting and started my first job in late 2006. Now, here I am at the age of 30 and already on my fourth job. I am currently job searching as we speak, but it's been a sh** show. I have a master's degree now and I'm over 2 months into my job search and only got 1 interview so far, and I withdrew my candidacy because I didn't want the job. Currently, I'm employed, but one of my recruiters told me that my career history is quite choppy and that many employers are going to pass on me because of that. Here is a timeline of my career history:
Job 1 - 1 year, 5 months - quit with no job lined up and relocated Unemployed for 2 months Job 2 - 1 year, 7 months - laid off Unemployed for 4 months Job 3 - 2 years, 7 months - quit with no job lined up Unemployed for 7 months and relocated Job 4 - 1 year, 4 months so far, and currently looking for a new job"
This is why you must rebuild, 6 jobs now, looking for number 7. At the age of 32 if I recall.
That first job was a good one to have on the resume, so I truly think if he so chooses, the OP long-term can rebuild a career.
You can't explain away another long unemployment stint. Adding in 6 months unemployed between Columbus job you lost and Middletown, to the above, brings you to 19 months unemployed as of March, 2016 which would not be viewed favorably by employers. Collect 6 months now, you'd have 2 years and one month spent unemployed.
So cutting this one to a minimal level is essential.

Today I expanded my search drastically. I applied to 2 jobs in Milwaukee and 9 jobs in Chicago. These are direct employer applications online. In addition to that, I applied to 9 more recruiter job postings, so we'll see if any of them call me and forward my application to the employer(s).

I just hope I find a job here and don't have to relocate....again. I hate the feeling of being a transplant and all alone. Based on my search this week, there has literally been nothing around here to even apply to. I will be meeting with a recruiter next week in Shelton though.
If the meeting is Tuesday or Wednesday, you will likely have to reschedule.

It's Wed morning.
And btw, I only apply to jobs that I meet the minimum requirements 100% and that will pay my market value and only employers that have at least decent reviews from employees.
