Resume, Cover Letter - Introduction Letter Examples

As someone who worked in HR, companies do not prefer people who have had only 1-2 jobs. That's silly. Especially in the Silicon Valley where I worked, this would be damn near impossible to find. Many times the best way to get upward mobility is to leave a company and go somewhere else. Even if you leave for more money (and it can be a BIG jump), many times it comes with a change in job title (like Sales Engineer to Senior Sales Engineer to Staff Engineer, just by changing companies - basically same job duties, but better title and pay with each change).

And, even if you have "stable" employment (which I'm going to say is more than 3 years in a job), I would not be impressed if someone worked somewhere for 10 years and didn't move up the ladder and take on additional or new responsibilities in that time. If you are doing the exact same thing today that you did when you started 10 years ago, there's probably something wrong with you.

This post is helpful as well, an example is myself, when I started off, it was just sales/customer service at a retail computer shop.
Moved up to one of the wholesalers who asked me to join his firm, jump ship and was there for a while before I decided to jump again.
Essentially, each jump, I went to another similar job but with better pay/benefits, vacation time, etc. All in all, the job titles changed too.
Along with it the roles changed, from tech analyst to tier 2 to trainer, etc. Finally settled on the current job, I like it very much...
Main reason I am going for a degree is to get into a management position, but kinda scared as "managers" have a higher turnover.
