7 Ways Job Variety Will Make You More Successful

โ€‹Gone are the days where we stay in a company for the rest of our lives. The average person changes jobs 10-15 times during their career but we still worry that chopping and changing our way through positions can reflect negatively on our work ethic and commitment. 

โ€‹

In fact, there are numerous benefits to having a diverse range of roles on your resume:

โ€‹

1) Youโ€™re Constantly Learning 

No two companies are the same. There isnโ€™t always the โ€˜rightโ€™ way to do something. Youโ€™ll be able to develop your skills by gathering as much information about your industry as possible. 

โ€‹

2) Your Confidence will Grow

Being placed into a brand new environment is daunting. Youโ€™ll be forced to communicate with a variety of people, and build working relationships effectively. Youโ€™ll become more flexible and open minded, all of which are important traits.

โ€‹

3) Youโ€™re Challenging Yourself 

No one can say that youโ€™re lazy. Youโ€™re keeping yourself on your toes by introducing new environments and challenges; more experience to add to your resume!

โ€‹

4) Youโ€™ll Build Your Reputation

Everyone will soon know your name. Especially if youโ€™re working with recruitment agencies, theyโ€™ll remember you and youโ€™ll be at the top of their list when an amazing role comes along. Your peers will know who you are before you even step foot in the office. 

โ€‹

5) Youโ€™ll Broaden your own Network

Not only will your own reputation grow, youโ€™ll have the chance to work with a number of professionals in your industry, and you donโ€™t know how much that will help you further down the line. 

โ€‹

6) Youโ€™ll Learn Your Passion

We arenโ€™t all lucky enough to know exactly what we want to do from the offset. Getting a feel for different roles will help you establish where you really want to be. 

โ€‹

7) You wonโ€™t fall into a rut

The daily routine can often me a monotonous struggle. You wonโ€™t be tempted to just โ€œsettle into itโ€; keeping everything exciting! 

โ€‹

If youโ€™re being looked over for a position because of your fluid employment history, itโ€™s probably a good thing. Drive your own career forward and steer clear of organisations that look to curb your flow.
