"When recruiting, is there an unwritten rule that those who leave the job for more than a few months are not considered?"
Recently, such a job seeker complained, which resonated with many people.
01
On the Pulse Forum, a programmer who left a factory shared the bad news of his recent job search.
He submitted his resignation before the Spring Festival in 2021, thinking that it was almost the New Year and giving himself a vacation. Just a few years later, it is also the so-called "gold three silver four", and he plans to find a job again at that time.
Unexpectedly, because of this 3-month workplace "empty window period", his job search hit a wall everywhere.
In this life, people have worked for thirty or forty years, and they have only been separated from it for a few months, why do they face such embarrassment?
A netizen's comment is worth pondering: "You will be judged to be less needy or casual for work, less stable, and will increase the risk of leaving." ”

It is not difficult to understand this way.
The "empty window period" in the workplace means, first of all, that you have no financial resources, and secondly, that you need to pay social security, which is often more expensive than the payment of affiliated companies - that is, you need to pay a cost that cannot be underestimated, which is also the cost of freedom.
What kind of portrait does this paint? Or support from home, or personal financial pressure, or enjoyment personality... All in all, for an HR who is shouldering the responsibility of recruiting KPIs, there seems to be more worries about admitting such people.
The interview is a very comprehensive consideration, and the job status of the job seeker is undoubtedly one of the influencing factors.
If you claim that as long as the salary is high and there is no regret, hr will judge you as too aggressive, but if the salary does not meet your expectations, you will immediately pick and leave; if you claim to have taken a break for a while, hr will also generate a lot of speculation because of your casualness.
One leaves the job after the start of the job, one leaves the job after the rest of three or five months, if the two people are in the same condition, at the same time job hunting, it is obvious that the former will be regarded as a stronger sense of job demand, so the stability, the degree of control is also more optimistic, the two weigh, self-evident.
Does this mean that the risk factor for leaving the working state is extremely high? Little E thinks that this is also too arbitrary.
One thing that needs to be noted is that this year's "gold three silver four", as netizens said, is more like "copper three iron four" - "no (leave for a few months without considering admission) This unwritten rule should be a bad market, so the requirements are more stringent." ”
The epidemic situation in many places is shrouded in the international situation, which will inevitably have an impact on the employment environment. When the overall pressure is under pressure, it is more difficult for the individual to guarantee. Such a dilemma is indeed embarrassing, but it is also helpless and reasonable, but to believe one thing, the bottom will always rebound.

Leaving the job for a while and giving it back to yourself for a short time is not the same as the lack of career advantages.
The first reason is to talk about the rationality of job hopping. You have been in a certain position for a long time, or you have encountered obstacles in your rise, or inner burnout, or changes in external factors, rather than repeatedly applying to your superiors for salary increases and changing the system, the easier way is to change to a next home that meets your expectations.
The second reason is that Bole is not often found. You, as the chosen one, of course need to wait. This kind of waiting can be the so-called donkey riding to find a horse, or it can be a wide interview after leaving the job, and it can be proactive.
For example, in the "empty window period", you can develop some abilities outside of your main business. External, such as fitness, learning to dress, maintain a good image; internal, such as examination certificates, learn some skills.
That is to say, leaving is not standing still or even going backwards, but another form of thinking and progress.
Through this case, Xiao E, as a worker, also shared several considerations:
The first is to do a good job of career planning, so that the job or departure is just the state; the second is to stay enterprising, to ensure that you have the confidence to withdraw at any time; and finally, to save money to ensure that your wallet will not fall into an impasse after you leave the job.
