Career change vs. job hopping

Changing your employer is always a big step. It impacts not only what you do and how much you earn, but it surely will also impact your personal well being and might even affect your family life. Furthermore, even though employers, especially foreign companies, show understanding for individuals with different career steps, candidates need to be vary careful not to change jobs too often. Employers become sceptical very quickly of candidates that have stayed with a company less than 24 months or if a candidate shows multiple short assignments. Employers fear that this kind of candiate will not be able to stick it through if difficult situations arise.
