FOUR jobs in 1.5 years? I thought I was bad... I left my first job after six month because I just wanted a little more balance after working 90-hour weeks all the time and 'cause there were already rumblings of bad financial news for the company. I'm now at my current job for a little more than a year (and might get laid off in 4 months, but hopefully not...). But at least I'll have held this job longer than a year. At least my resume is free from errors. That's actually one of my worst fears: finding an error RIGHT AFTER I submit the cover letter or resume. Wow. FOUR jobs in 1.5 years?

I just reviewed someone’s resume the other day and promptly got a headache.

It was badly formatted, 4 font types, wrong sizes.. I wanted to cry just reading the first page that confused me.
