( job-hopping )(make the best use of one's abilities) , (improve skills and gain new experience); (switching 
jobs) (acquire a wide array of technical skills), (enhance the resume), ( improve marketability and job 
security), (pay raise);
(Improve skills and experience levels), (continued employment will be meager) (vulnerable to the 
competition); (in terms of career survival). (There is no room for complacency); (take on new challenges 
and seize opportunities), (a sound career move);
(leave the current employer ) (a sense of anticipation) (generate an enthusiasm to learn)
(do more harm than good to one's career); ( adjust to the new environment), (get along well with new 
colleagues and supervisors), ( seen as a threat) (readily being recognized) ;
(reflect badly on the job candidate's resilience and loyalty), (lack of self-motivation),(directionless 
/aimless ) , (gain experiences and on-the-job skills). (restart a new recruiting process)
In this fast-changing world, job-hopping (leaving the current employer for another 
employment opportunity) is not a rare scene. Much has been discussed about the gains and losses 
of such a career move. In my opinion, job-changing is an inevitable step in today's labour market, 
reflecting the nature of a modem society.
A new job implies opportunities for career development, an objective many working people 
intend to achieve. 
In general, there are two reasons behind a job holder's motive for a new job. The first is that the 
current job cannot make the best use of his or her abilities. The second is that he or she cannot 
improve skills and gain new experience. Both can lessen the possibility of a brighter job 
prospect.
Job-hopping, meanwhile, assists one to survive the keen competition. People are living in a 
fast changing world and a once stable job is now vulnerable. Willingness to stay on the same job 
is no longer valued as much as before. Any employee, if complacent about the current 
employment, would be faced with threats posed by others. By comparison, taking the initiative to 
obtain a better job can at least drive people to increase skills and thereby improving the chance 
of continued employment.
When job-hoppers are craving for new chances, some issues are particularly worthy of concern.
The first is adjusting to a new environment, such as working with new colleagues and 
supervisors. Besides, while valuing a job hopper's resume, employers too often tend to suspect 
his or her loyalty and resilience. It is therefore imperative for every potential jobseeker to learn 
the new employer better and evaluate the potential risk.
The above-mentioned facts give one a glimpse of the potential results of changing jobs. When 
the willingness to change a job and sees an opportunity represents a sound career move and 
provides the thrust for self-development, it might require a job applicant's extra efforts.
