Stable job/ job length

Post Reply New Topic

What is the longest amount of time you've worked at a job? And what was the job?

I'll start. For me, the longest time I've worked at a job was 2 years, as a cashier at a stationary store.

Something around seven years as programmer. Still/Again work in that area, but in another company.
But I changed jobs and companies quite a lot and seven years was exceptional, no other was longer than two years.

longest period was 12 months. I've had a lot of temporary jobs though. and a lot of cleaning jobs

currently at uni though, hopefully lead to a programming job

When I have a job that I don't dislike too much and where they tolerate me (how negative is that?), I try to stay there as long as possible. I dread job seeking.

The longest time I stayed at the same company is where I am presently, about two years and a half. I stayed two years at another place. Before, when I had disposable jobs, I would stay generally six month max.

I've rarely been fired, I generally left on my own.

I've had my part time job for nine years. My current full time job I've been at for five years.

I've been at my current job for 7 months, which is a record for me... and I deeply, deeply hate my job. The only reason why I'm still in it is because it's my first post-graduation job, and I need at least 6 months in it to even hope of getting another.

I'm applying for new jobs as much as I can.

If I find a long-term job that I like, I'll stick with it for as long as I can.

I find that I either stay at a job for a few weeks, or for several years. My longest was for five years with Target.

My family owned a business for over 30 years, but that does not count I am sure.
I was up to inherit it but got sidetracked for what I thought was love and lost the opportunity.

3 years, maintenance man.
5 years, farm and field worker (random jobs but same people year after year).
2 years packing shed and industrial cleaning, cannery.
2 years backhoe and fork lift operator.
6 years (random jobs) construction (all kinds, mason, carpentry, roofing, concrete, etc etc etc.).

I find I can keep a job just fine as long as I can work on my own.
Its when I have to deal with other people that issues arise.
I am your basic handy man, I can most always find a job when wanted or needed.
Right now I am studying HTML/C/C+/C++/Java/Pearl/etc, when I finish I plan on just working from home from then on.

With medical leave 11 months.

Without maybe 6 months.

Have never been fired.

Oh, lets see...

If I work on my own 3.5 years, Job ended when he died. (I was/am a nurse)

If I have to work with people in the same space as me, interacting with them... 1.5 years

If I have my own cubicle & can just my job ... probably an eternity...

PEOPLE SUCK, OFFICE POLITICS REALLY SUCK!! !

I worked at Papa John's from Sept 06 to March of this year. Started as a driver and worked my way up to shift supervisor.

seven months but my currently job is a lot more stable and will aslt longer I think it is in a bookshop/nursary.

The longest time I've stayed at a job is for 1 year and 5 months. That's my current job and I intend to keep doing this job for at least some time yet. It's an office job.

I think the longest is the one I'm in now So, coming up to 2 years in November this year

5 years was my longest. And that's because it took them 5 years to fire me, because it's an unusually tolerant firm. I've been fired or pushed to leave from most other jobs I've had. Second longest: 3+ years. Most other jobs ranging from a few months to 2 years tops. I hate changing jobs, but it's my fate...

The longest job I held was a dishwashing gig at my old college (I'm only 24) when I was a freshman and sophomore. I left after that. Job stability is spotty, and when I do get a job, NVLD is really tricky to manage and sometimes I really don't know I'm doing something to annoy someone else. As a college graduate of an LD-only accredited college (Florida) with a 4.0 GPA, I should be able to get a better job, but when people meet me they say I'm "too nervous" or "too shy", though I feel like I am making eye contact and being calm.

If there was a magical pill I could take to rid myself of the way I feel daily, and how difficult life is (though I'm doing my best to live it), I would take it, and actually maybe convince some employer that yes, I am the one for this job. It makes me so angry that I hide it and then someone calls me out.

I don't want hourly anymore, and I'm smart with a high IQ, I just have NVLD, and I want to hold a job longer than two years, and the average is about 4-7 months.
