Hi,

I worked with a company (A) for 1+ year and then joined another company (B). I've been working at B for about 1.5 years and am now considering a job change (to C). All the companies (A,B,C) are leading brands of the same industry. I need your advice on whether this job change would hamper my MBA application. Is a resume with 3 jobs in 3 years at the time of application considered bad ? Also, would it be different if I go back to the first company A from B ?

Please advise
Thanks

Hi Aman,

Great question but need a LITTLE more info. What were you doing at A? Why'd you go to B? What do you do there now? What's the opp at C? If you went back to A, would you be doing the same things? Different things? More importantly, BETTER things?

3 jobs in 3 years is a fair number but as long as you can weave it all together in a story that makes sense, that's all that really matters at the end of the day. Job changes have a stigma in general society that the application process tends to mitigate somewhat.

So - if you could let me know a little more - I'm happy to help!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
