Looking for a new job

[mkjuk]

I have had 4 pretty crappy jobs - pretty much one every 6months since I graduated with a 2:1 in Commerce from a red brick uni - Now i'm on the search for a new job again, but whats the best way to disguise this dodgy history. Will employers know i'm lying if i say ive been working abroad etc, what would be a good thing for me to say?

Thanks

You wanted to work - took temporary jobs - emphasise positive side of the experiences - what you gained and learnt from your jobs.

If there appears to be "holes" in your application they will start to make answers up.

ignore gravitate's 'advice'!

Why not call the jobs 'short term work placements'. You can then expand on your transferrable skills that allowed you to move from one job/sector to another job/sector easily. Mention that you are now looking for new challenges in a permanent position etc etc.

yep agree, completely ignore anything gravitate says - wouldnt think he/she has much of a job if that is how he/she goes about things. I look after recruitment and we write to all previous employers over last five years, and if we do not get a satisfactory response, the offer of employment is withdrawn - so lying would not help. As Machecoul says, you should say you wanted to work and tell them what you learnt from your previous experiences, and the skills and competencies you gained from each particular role.
