Kevin O’Leary can assess a candidate for a job, and there are many things that go into it. However, there is one red flag that he looks out for when looking at candidates that “bouncing all around”.

The chairman of O’Shares ETFs and judge at “Money Court”, O’Shares ETFs, tells CNBC Make It that if a resume shows multiple positions held over the last two years, the applicant should “I simply throw it into the rubbish, because we’re no going to be looking at that person.”

He says that companies don’t enjoy it, because they put money into you. This includes financial commitments such as the training and onboarding process or sending equipment to remote workers. It’s an expensive waste to them if you leave them after just a few weeks.

O’Leary stresses the importance of being prepared to spend your time when looking for a job.

“Be a committed mental person, no matter what your preference. [the job]He says that you either do or don’t need to remain there for at most two years.” You must have at least a 24 month commitment if you want to be an employee in a team and to represent the company.

O’Leary’s advice aligns with a 2018 surveyTalentWorks is a job website that analyzes nearly 7,000 applications for jobs in various industries across the U.S. It found that those who have been employed for less than fifteen months are 43% less likely of being hired for new positions.

The survey revealed that a brief stint in your old job can wipe out almost five years worth of work experience.

TalentWorks explains that this is because most hiring managers spend less time reviewing applicants’ resumes than they do thinking about the reasons why someone left.

Suzy Welch (bestselling author in management), says that the rule doesn’t have to be followed. previously told CNBC Make ItIf you have been with the same company for a longer time, you may be more open to bending to the rules. Welch explained that, for example, if your five-year tenure at one company is complete, then there are two or three six-month, or even eight-month, job opportunities on your resume.
