How to Explain Frequent Job Changes in Interviews Without Raising Red Flags?

prasun0306
Please give me a suggestion on the following topic:

I was working with a reputed insurance company in Kolkata for around 3 years as an executive. Due to a lack of job satisfaction, I changed that job and joined a small BPO. Here, I am receiving the same salary as my previous job. This is a stopgap assignment for me, and I want to move to a reputed company with a significant salary hike from here. However, I am facing a problem answering this question—why I changed from my previous company with the same salary and why I want to change again within 4-5 months. This is impacting my interview performance heavily as interviewers are getting negative hints from this fluctuation in my employment history.

Please help.

In the interview, don't mention that you have frequently changed jobs. Put the maximum period of work, even if you have quit early; it's okay.

Can you explain a little bit more on this?

"Why have I changed from my previous company with the same salary and why do I want to change again within 4-5 months?"

You can say something like this...

"I switched to the new company even though the salary was the same because there were better opportunities in the new company. In my previous job, the work was monotonous, and I wanted to grow; hence, I started searching for a new job. I found a company with better opportunities where I could learn new things. As my passion is to learn and strive for better, I joined a company with the same pay."

Let me know if you have any further queries.

Thank you, Deepa, for your suggestion. Please also highlight the second part of my question: 'Why have I changed from my previous company with the same salary and why do I want to change again within 4-5 months?' I mean, 'Why do I want to change again within 4-5 months?'
