[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also as you get older job hunting is also frequent as care less about your resume.

Plus you could be a start up type person. Around 54 I became a start up person. Not by choice.

A start company has a desperate need to start a department ASAP and pass regulator approval and could set whole thing up quick and fully staff.

I took job with big sign on bonus. Great salary and great bonus. Amazed last 3 years before fired. Once set up they don’t need me.

Next job they did not want to hire me. But hired me direct as a contractor with really food pay but it was a six month gig. Got canned at month five. Was 95 percent don’t and budget ran dry.

Next job a start up. Got a pile of worthless options that luckily are in the money. Salary sucks. Stock price slowing so new grants not attractive so I have to move. At this point I can set up the function in under one year.

I am getting close to retirement, (7 years away) so I care way less about hopping. I care more about salary and jumping before the ax swings

plus my resume has three jobs between 8-10 years each. My hopping was in early 20s and now on back end. The middle 30 pretty secure [/quote]

I cringed while reading this. [/quote]

Writing skills are over rated. Math, IT, attention to detail and Writing skills are my only four weaknesses. Other than that I am amazing. I can set stuff up. See big picture. But running stuff I get bored, not a self starter. But setting it up is the big money anyhow. I set it up then they hire a person with the analytical personalities to keep ship going. My startup like 80 percent of firm jumps every two years. My head of HR jumped to go to another start up to set up HR. He has no patience Tickers, running payroll, doing open enrollment just setting it up.

I set up my department on my third go round. Boredom sets in around month 4. But one year I stop learning as don’t care. Why I am on my way in a year or 2. Everyone wins. Company saves a fortune on not paying consultants. Job hopping means I can tell you how multiple companies do a function.  Plus I have all the files already.

I had an aneurysm trying to imagine them as employed [/quote][/quote]
