I鈥檝e had 9 jobs in 3 years, am I a job-hopper? Or am I a good job hunter?

I needed a job when I graduated from college. I was very angry I took a job with a lot of responsibilities, more then someone with years of experience, except I would be paid minimum wage. I needed a job, and they convinced me to see it as investment because I would gain experience. But after a year of working hard, and making very little money, I quit. I then began my cycle of going to through 9 jobs. Quitting as soon as someone offered me more money. Even though I鈥檝e gone through many jobs, I鈥檝e always done such a good job on every one, I keep getting job offers. Right now I鈥檓 making what a college graduate should make, but I think I鈥檓 doing an even better job than the rest, so I want more money. I quit on December, but I was promised a raise, so I stayed. It鈥檚 March, and I still have no raise, I do have another job offering more money. Why should I stay with a company that doesn鈥檛 pay their employees what they are worth?

Look IF Ur Getting pay more and like what u doing now
then U R A Great Job Hunter
IF Ur just getting pay more or just like it more u OK
but is not one of this is true ... u (suck)...lol
I hope Ur a hunter

You are definitely a job-hopper and that does NOT look good on a resume. Just because someone offers you more money does not mean you jump at it. Unless it's SUBSTANTIALLY more money and a MUCH BETTER opportunity, then you don't jump form job to job to job to job, all in the course of three short years.

This is the behavior of a job-hopper. And as a previous poster wrote, it does look bad. It makes potential employers wonder if you're reliable. If another company offers you more money that's good, but it depends how much. $0.50/hour more is not a big enough incentive, and extra $200/week - maybe. Try and keep it to changing jobs once per year and look for jobs where you will learn something new to add to your skillset. Now if an employer offered you more money for you to stay and they haven't made good on it, remind them. If they balk or backpedal, look for another job - the employer isn't worth his word.
