In recent years, the employment landscape has changed significantly. For millennials and younger workers, the job market has often been unpredictable. Traditionally, career advice focused on avoiding ‘job hopping’ and the feared ‘résumé gap.’ Today, however, these concepts have become more accepted.
Within many workplaces, the idea of employees and companies being permanently tied is less prevalent. Job mobility has become more commonplace for both financial and career progression reasons.
Many hiring managers now recognize that moving between companies can be a strategic decision. This shift has changed expectations, making it less of an issue when explaining employment gaps during interviews.
