Today on the Delve podcast, we’re talking about job hopping.

How long should you stay in a job? When will a prospective employer penalise you for switching jobs too often? How should you plan my career accordingly? Common questions for career-oriented people.

Thankfully, Professors Matissa Hollister and Xavier St-Denis looked into it. In a recent study, they measured the impact of job hopping on employability. And their findings dispel some myths around job hopping, and they provide crucial insights on how to build a steady and successful career.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode. Matissa Hollister is a professor of Organisational Behaviour at McGill University. Xavier St-Denis is an assistant professor at the Institut de la recherche scientifique in Montreal. Together they discuss:

-         What are some commonly held beliefs about job-hopping?

-         Why might employers look dimly on job hoppers?

-         Why are some occupations more penalised for job hopping than others?

-         How long should employees stay in a job to avoid being penalised?
