18. Am I Job Hopping Too Much? A Recruiter Explains

Have you switched jobs a few times and wondered if that makes you a “job hopper”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share how recruiters really see job hopping, and why it might not be as bad as you think.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • What “job hopping” actually means
  • How recruiters review CVs with multiple short roles
  • Why the COVID years changed how we look at career moves
  • When frequent changes raise concerns - and when they don’t
  • How to present short-term jobs on your CV and LinkedIn
  • Tips for framing your career story in interviews

This episode is for ambitious expats in the Netherlands (or Europe) who worry their career path looks “too jumpy” on paper.

P.S. If you’re figuring out your next step, I created a free Ikigai workbook to help you get clarity - just drop me a message or grab it from the link.

I am an Italian Recruiter living in the Netherlands. I work for a recruitment agency in Amsterdam and I am the host of Get Hired Today, where I share job tips combined with some mindset tools for expats like me.

I’m not just a Recruiter, outside of work, I’m a normal guy who loves music, singing, baking healthy treats, travelling, and staying active through fitness. These things keep me balanced, especially when life gets hectic.

This podcast is not about being perfect, but it’s about growing together, step by step, through real conversations and some nice practical advice.
