Chris Williams, former VP of HR at Microsoft, emphasizes that the length of time spent at a job matters less than the impact made during that tenure.
Hiring managers now prioritize accomplishments over tenure, seeking candidates who have made tangible contributions to their organizations. Whether it's leading transformative projects or driving improvements in key metrics like revenue and customer satisfaction, demonstrating impact is paramount.
While job-hopping was once stigmatized, it's now more accepted, especially in situations where employees seek better opportunities or face untenable circumstances.
