    Just got my cdl through school a month ago but can't find any company to hire me. The biggest rejection reason I'm getting is that I've had to many jobs in the last 3 years. 6 to be exact. I traveled around to places I wanted to go and did contract work for different companies. And when the job was complete I spent time educating myself in another field of work which I do on my own time with my own money. Explaining this to recruiters doesn't seem to matter, they act like it is such a sin to not have been with one or two companies your whole life. (losers!) I know a newbie can't job hop and I wasn't a newbie when I was doing it. You have to get experience first. So my question is, what companies are out there (if any) that aren't so picky about hiring student drivers?

    Times have changed, a few years back, it didn't make any difference how many jobs you had, wheather a newbie or experienced. See if you can fudge your app somehow to show you only had 2 jobs, since you stated you worked as a contractor. Just a suggestion, get CREATIVE....:biggrin_1square11::tongueSTARS555::bootyshake::sign7::blackknight:
