Does it look bad if we change jobs every 2 years?

Hello you, the Adventurous!

A friend just asked if I think changing jobs every 2 years is a bad thing...

Some background on who we are (our generation): 

We don't live in yesteryear's way of doing things. The way our fathers/mothers generation did things was different. We are a generation where our lives change every day, minute, second sometimes too! Life is so fast paced right now, we don't want to be left behind. Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, Working, Whatsapp, BBM, email (is it the new snail mail? remember that?? SNAIL MAIL!), etc... NOW ON MOBILE TOO! Our generation has the attention span of a guppy, keep us interested, we keep your business running well, bore us and guess what... WE WILL QUIT EVENTUALLY!

So does it look bad if we change jobs every 2 years? 

Simply, YES to the old thinkers... They want us to show some restraint and dependability. If we last in a job for a long time, this will reflect on our willingness to put in the time and show we are dependable and will last in the job we are applying to. HOWEVER, with the situation we are in right now in our village, the global one, is it really wise or fair to judge us that way? Generation Limbo is here... It's not our fault, but it is partly our choice if we want to stay at a job. On the other hand, our tolerance for many things is at a very low... WE WILL QUIT! The baby boomers are out, you need us, we know it!

Treat us well prospective employers and we will treat you well back. Abuse us, and well we will say goodbye. Life is too short ;)

What do you think? Am I too harsh?

I am going to be an employers someday, and being an employee once I know that making a job dynamic is in everyone's benefit. Or is it?

Let me know...

Thank you, the Adventurous, for reading!

Interesting BBM conversation about HR and Project Management

Hello you, the Interested,

I was BBMing my friend in Nigeria today and we were discussing her future there. The conversation was about a new job offer of hers, and whether she wants to accept it or not and the hassles she is going through. She asked me how Human Resources and Project Management would be linked since she would be shifting from HR to Project Management. This is the transcript:

I am "C", my friend is "A"

A: I am going from HR
A: To project management
C: That's a great thing
C: If u combine them later, that's fucking amazing work
A: How r they linked
C: Hala2 I am more for the job
A: How r they linked
A: Alooooo
C: Sorry
C: Important email came up
C: They are linked like this:
C: 1) HR is a HUGE field in demand right now because of the economic crisis, but what people do not understand is that this will change a few yrs in and even with all the HR tech advances, there are too many HR positions, it will hit a dead end
C: 2) Most companies want diversity now, some1 who can work within many fields and is multi talented
C: 3) Project management is also a huge sector that will expand further than HR since projects never cease
C: 4) Combine them together, u have someone that can time manage and people manage and procurement experience, exactly what HR should be able to do
C: And exactly what Project manager should do
C: When u project manage, u start with defining the project, what is it
C: Then what do u need?
C: Then who do u need?
C: The who is usually before the what
C: If u don't have the who, the ppl, u don't have the project
C: Ur HR experience makes u perfect in that sense
C: This job now gives u the other set of tools that is needed, project management
C: I.E. Time, equipment, schedules, salary, budget
C: Etc...
C: Project manager should know everything and know them well
C: And now ur project might be [field A], but the same rules apply to everything else too
C: U get my point?
A: Yes


Do I make a good point? Lemme know!


Thank you, the Interested!
