[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your interviewer was looking for a good reason why you left those jobs after just 4 years (and especially the 11 month one) and wanted reassurance that the same thing wouldn't happen if you got hired.

For example, did you move cities because you were following a spouse's relocation and is that likely to happen again?   If not, that was your opening to explain:  " My spouse was relocated twice but now he has a new job and we expect to stay here and put down roots.  My parents live here and this is where we plan to settle permanently."[/quote]

OP here, I explained why I left the 11 month job to her but [b]4 year jobs don't need explanations in my opinion.[/b] That is a sufficient time to stay in an administrative support position. [/quote]

Agree with you OP.  And I don't think it only applies to admins either.  I am a professional and would not ask that on an interview (if I was interviewing someone), nor would I expect to need to explain "only" 4 years on my own resume.  I have several jobs that lasted 3 years (the first one being my first job out of college), and I have only been asked about that once, and I've interviewed a LOT.[/quote]
