    I did my ten year work history. I was told I have had too many jobs. I have had 11. But, i included a temp job and a job where you didn't work more than three days a week. What can you do.? If you only work for someone for three weeks do you have to include it?? (Driving a truck)

    If you were paid on the books for it, I would include it and label it as temporary assignment, yes you should include everything, because question 2 will be let me see your tax returns.

    That is a lot of jobs. Did you leave them of your own accord or were you dismissed? Unless you could explain the gaps, or somehow "stretch" your tenure at a few, probably have to include them. Try to stay somewhere for at least a year.

    Ya but I see by his avatar he has a 1 yr so im wondering if these jobs were all done in this one yr time frame.Companies will disqualify you if you only last a few weeks here and there at companies.My work history is bad and I absolutely dread filling out apps hate it with a passion..But I don't have trouble getting hired and only couple things I can think of as to why is because a few of my jobs were a couple yrs with the same employer and my dac mvr csa is clean.Or maybe companies just feel sorry for me,lol.

    I don't really seeing it being a huge negative having a lot of jobs only bad companies will really care because they will think this guy isn't gonna put up with us abusing him, he will leave. Especially with the economy we had years about 8 years ago, I myself went thru a few jobs in a couple years.

    Ive been unemployed pretty much since last December had a couple jobs since then one I got sick and lasted thru orientation took a medical loa and still wasn't getting better to I quit.The next one was a couple months later lasted less then 2 weeks,I quit because of the pay.Found out more then what the ad said and what I was led to believ by the recruiter and the one day orientation.Took a few more months off.Then started looken had some interviews got hired and declined them because of the pay.Now I start with a tankers company Monday and extremely satisfied with the pay and hours.My job history is real bad no doubt about that but my mvr is working in my favor for employment.

    I feel like good drivers are in the need, as long as you don't have a ding on your record, and didn't do anything bad to get fired at previous employment, I think its easy to find work, I was looking for a part time job just out of boredom for my day off, and I have so many places that I applied part time keep calling me for full time work.(even though indicated on application and position part time)
