In India importance has always been given to the <\/span><b>Previous<\/b> <b>Employees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and past <\/span><b>Job<\/b> <b>Roles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This gives the recruiter a glimpse into the kind of responsibilities you\u2019ve handled, the industry you\u2019ve worked in and the exposure you\u2019ve had. This in turns gives an understanding of your fit into your next job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>References<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are another aspect traditionally given importance to in our Country. This is simply a mean of verifying everything you state and to get an insight into your performance and dedication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However in today\u2019s job market where attrition is the biggest threat, an additional special note is taken of your <\/span><b>Employment<\/b> <b>Dates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Every unemployment gap is observed while every resignation is questioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unemployment gaps may be taken for various reasons. Unavailability of jobs, break for leisure purposes, health or personal issues are some common circumstances. Unfortunately none of these reflect very well on your job history. They signal carelessness, incompetence and warning flags for not hiring you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A way to combat this is to take temporary MOOC courses while searching for your next job. Freelancing or volunteering for social causes are other noble reasons to fall back on. Got a family business? Help with it. It would only add on to your job history and reflect responsibility. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your reason for leaving your previous jobs is bound to raise eyebrows. \u2018For better prospects\u2019 has definitely turned clich\u00e9d but still works. However the other alternative is to use your judgement and work on the truth. In today\u2019s scenario your recruiter is bound to be cautious of job hopping.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All in one, yes your Job History \u2013also known as Work or Employment History \u2013 is important. \u00a0Every date, every resignation, ever relationship and all the other aspects only contribute to your career path and should be taken seriously. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time, only a few decades back, when the question of Job History never arose.
