Question

Cathy Nazerian is hoping that she will finally find an employer who understands what it is like to be a single mother. Before enrolling in the medial assistant program, she had to change jobs six times in the previous 14 months. Cathy found her employers to be very unsympathetic about things that really were not her fault. She couldn't control her unreliable babysitter, old car, and the fact that working while caring for three children tired her out so much that she couldn't always make it to work. Fortunately, she was able to maintain good attendance while in school because her mother had just retired and agreed to help her out temporarily with the children.  

1. How should Cathy respond to employers who ask about her frequent job changes?

2. What changes, if any should Cathy make in her attitude about employers?  

3. What would you suggest she do to reduce the need to change jobs so frequently?  

Answer 1

1.Frequent job change in recent years has been a trend for one to grow professionally and earn more.If the job change is due to transferable skill then the employer will welcome it.If not the case it is best to be tell the truth for job change .Here Cathy has to do the same because hiding things is always dangerous

2.Cathy should know about the following and change her attitude

• When an employee seeks employment it is a must that they will be selected only if they fit the requirement of the employer
• Should not have an attitude that employer should be more personal or friendly than professional to accept her tiredness due to taking care of children in the job

3.Should make her prepared and adjusted for the new role rather than shifting job.

Planning in ahead of how to handle family and the profession

Be dedicative to the job working

Not to carry the tension of personal things into work and vie versa

Following the employers rules and regulation
