Just be careful because lots of jobs sometimes can make you look like you don't know what you want or that you are hard to work with. Also when you turn over jobs a fair bit it looks to a prospective employer that you might not stick around for long and so any training they pump into you might not be returned in service so you are less likely to get hired. It's the same with degrees, a wide range of degrees might make you look better educated/well read but it can also look like you don't know what the heck you want to do and I have seen resumes from people with several masters where they might not even mention one for fear of being overqualified for a position

I've held a few longer term jobs which are always included on the resume. The other jobs are just for money and they usually help in getting jobs of a similar nature. I've never included all my jobs on a resume because why include jobs that are irrelevant. These jobs are summer jobs, they are nothing more than that. I take these jobs because they are new and different.

01) Administration - Accounting Firm

03) Machinist - Sheet Metal Manufacturer
04) Welder - Engineering Workshop

3 paid jobs, currently at my 4th.

 

[iambored]

I'm not the sort of person who worked at Woolworths for 4-5 years while I'm at uni, I ended up working all sorts of temporary jobs since I was 15.

How did you find your temp positions? I am always on the lookout. I want to be similar, keep one job to show I won't leave after a few months, temp the rest - temping gives varied skills, it's different so more fun and it's good to have little things to bulk out different parts of the resume for different jobs.

Zomg Raiks! I wouldn't even remember half of the number of jobs you've had! On the topic, I've had 3 jobs, currently on my 4th one and looking for a 5th one to go with the 4th one:

1. office worker with a specialist's private practice
2. telemarketer (haha, a 3 day stint but I had to put that down because I didn't have any other work experience at the time besides the office worker)
3. student at a pharmacy for a total of 6 shifts (yes, six!) over 1.5 months. They got overstaffed, and being a puny 2nd year over the 3rd and 4th years they had recently hired, well naturally I wasn't given any more shifts.
4. student ambassador with USYD--> current job

Hoping to look for another job with another pharmacy.

Currently jobless. Should get a job, I'm sick of being poor.
