Not enough jobs...just as bad as not enough credit.

I usually hear complaints from people who "career-hop" every six months, that it is getting increasingly difficult to even get interviews. FACT: Changing jobs constantly is a red flag to employers! They assume that you won't stay with their company very long either, and why would they want to take the time, money, and effort to train you if you are going to pick up and leave after a short amount of time?

However, only having one job for a very long period of time is also a red flag. Employers may think that you don't handle change well, or that you are stuck in your ways and working for a new company with new ways of doing things will be too challenging for you.

It seems to be just like credit. Having too little is not a good thing, but you can work around it in a resume.
