The Wall Street Journal reports, “40% of all executives leave their jobs within 18 months.” And every one who does potentially causes serious long-term career damage.

Employers believe people who stay in jobs 4+ years are better than those who move around. The first thing anyone who views a resume checks for is the pattern of longevity. You can offer all sorts of reasons for leaving but the fact is, any candidate with a sturdy work history aces those without.

Example:

Of 5 career coaching clients, 2 had less than 3 years in 4 recent jobs, 2 had a pattern staying 6+ and one had 11 years with the same company.

11 years = Job opportunities came to him which were all significantly more senior than current roles. He went from GM to CEO in a 3-month process. He had 6 CEO options from which to choose.

1) Choose the right organization. Supporting an organization’s goals is critical, but not everything. Find out how the organization trains and supports volunteers, and what it expects from its workers. Volunteers may need to attend regular meetings, cover their own expenses, or donate money.

2) Be sociable. Satisfaction in a non-profit organization comes from working with others toward a common cause. You’ll get the most benefit when you participate in meetings and other face-to-face activities.

3) Follow through. When you aren’t getting paid, it’s tempting to move volunteer work to the bottom of your priority list. Remember that people are counting on you.

4) Give generously of your time. Decide how ...

How I Found My Blogging Job

blogging job cartoonOne woman's story of how she became a professional blogger. This a guest post by Kelly Wilson. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. I recently read an article that detailed how to make $30,000 annually by writing and maintaining a blog. Much of the article included abbreviations - like CPC and EPC, among others – that I still don’t understand after two years of blogging on my own website. I’m not sure I want to understand what they mean. I got into blogging to write and market my work, not to be a corporate advertising portal. However, I do need to feed my family, and my chosen way to accomplish this necessary goal is to write in order to receive a paycheck. It turns out that you really can make money blogging. So how do you do it? Related posts:
