A predicament

Laurian at Peas on toast is in a bit of a pickle. She says that if she left her job now (after a 3 month probation period) and went to another, that it would look bad on her resume. I have to disagree.

Long gone are the days of getting a job and keeping it until you retire. What companies are looking for nowadays are people with experience. Experience. Let's look at the word:

Experience
Active participation in events or activities, leading to the accumulation of knowledge or skill

Ok. So an accumulation of knowledge or skill.

Look at a guy who's had the same job for twenty years, and a guy who's had twenty jobs in twenty years. Who has more experience? The second guy. I'd say he has twenty times more experience! Why? Because the first guy, you could say, has had one year of experience, twenty times over!

Do you see where I'm getting at? So Laurian, spread your wings and fly, because the more people you meet, and the more ways-of-doing-things you're exposed to, the better your chances are to make something great, or greater, of yourself.
