Looking at your LinkedIn profile, I agree that you have to have a good explanation for the 4 jobs in 5 years. Work on that - run it past people - try out a few different versions (the truth can be told many ways). It is unfortunate, but any hiring manager will wonder if they are looking at a job hopper here. Also, they may wonder about your stability, as your tenures seem to get shorter and shorter over the years, and that with a better and better economy.

I would get a professional business portrait picture taken. If you are short on funds, some job fairs will provide them for free or a small fee. Definitely take down the picture you have now, in front of a door with some coat hanging behind you.

Good Luck and keep us posted!

Thanks for the feed back. New pic is in the works.

Any thoughts on posting an explanation on the short tenures? “Position outsourced” or something to that fact?
