5. Obtaining Better Experience and Skills
• Changing jobs can be a positive if you get the opportunity to
gain new skills and experience.
• For those in the IT field, for example, a new environment can
give you a chance to learn about new technologies that your
former company wasn't using.
• Gaining additional skills can make you a more valuable
employee and possibly open the door for even better job
opportunities down the road.

6. Increased Pay and Promotion Opportunities
• Switching jobs can also give you an opportunity to advance
your career and earn better pay. If you have a hard time
earning a promotion at your current job, changing companies
might be your best chance of moving up the ladder.
• It can be much tougher to negotiate a higher salary after
you've worked at one place for a few years. If you feel
undervalued at your current job, it can affect your morale and
your ability to perform at your highest level.
• Moving to a new job might be the best way to move the the
next stage in your career.

7. Unwanted Reputation and Less Job Security
•One downside about changing jobs is that if you do it too often,
employers might hesitate before hiring you.
•Training takes an investment of time and money, and an
employer might not want to hire you if he thinks you'll just leave
in a year or two.
• Employers might also worry about your judgment and
personality. Fair or not, people who switch jobs a lot often get
the reputation for being volatile or flighty.
•In addition, if you do get hired you might be one of the first to
be let go if there's a downsizing because you haven't built up
much seniority.
