Frequent service brakes!!! What will be your judgment if this issue arises at an interview?

Frequent service brakes in the carrier path will show employee’s inability to establish in a company! Is this true? Are our perceptions based on this matter always correct? How can we take accurate decisions at the interviews if the candidate has this kind of a profile?



Professional views are welcome

Frequent Service Breaks

These can signal many things.
1. Someone who is overestimating their ability and talking themselves into jobs they cannot do.
2. Someone who underestimating their ability and getting bored quickly with the jobs they get.
3. Someone without the ability for the job but who insists on trying none the less.
4. Someone psychologically unfit to work.
5. Someone with under developed social skills (I know one person who is brilliant at his job but has Aspergers, he needs special support but the company find his genius - literally - indispensable.) Some companies don't/won't support people like this.
6. Someone physically incapable of fulfilling that type of work.
7. An HR culture which discriminates against this person/group of people.
8. A "sellers market" to many jobs chasing too few applicants.
9. An HR environment where people are simply employed not developed.


I could go n and on and on but the one clear signal to me is bad HR practices whichever it is from the above list.

Neil said very much clearly. These are the options but being an HR you should be able to extract what the reason is behind. So you should put questions very intelligently and logically especially an indirect question to extract the reason.

This is based on the candidate also because, if the candidate is genuinely keen into getting into a position he/she applied they wouldn't sell themselve but propose themselve for the position.

If the breaks in a person career is genuine it would show in the way he/she presents oneself during the interview.

Adding to what Neil wrote, sometimes the following might also be the reasons:

1. If the candidate is expecting a huge increase in his/her compensation within short span which will sometimes leave the persons jobless for their instability.

2. Sometimes unexpected health hazards/ death of close family members or some unforeseen events.

3. Trying different jobs to determine their true interest.
