How long should I stay at my job?
Haven't ever posted on this board before but I was hoping for some advice from you ladies. I graduated from college in May with a bachelors degree in marketing. I wasn't a traditional student because I graduated when I was 25. My last job I worked at before I graduated I was at for a year and a half. The one before that about a year. After graduation we moved to a different state where I got a decent paying job however I know it's not a company I want to have a career with- although it is a great resume builder and I have gained some pretty valuable skills and experience. My husband is more than likely going to get relocated once more time, with my current job I can easily transfer. But how long do you think I should stay with them before I start looking for something that I can see myself in long term. I don't want to come off unstable because of my past employment lengths. But I am also eager to start looking for a permanent job/position.
Re: How long should I stay at my job?
At least a year and a half, if not longer.Are there other positions within the same co that would be a better fit?

How long before this happens? Will this require you to move? If he is going to be relocated within the next year or two, I'd consider keeping my job until after he relocated. There is no point in getting a new job if you are going to need to move within a year of starting. If you are talking years down the road, I would start looking for something new as soon as you are ready to.
I would keep the job and transfer after you move and once you are settled at your new place then start looking. Move and changing jobs is quite stressful and if you can eliminate one I'd do that. (At least it was for me but I added in getting married at that time so maybe it was the elements).
But, BUT, if you get an offer - make sure its a job that's going to be a good fit that you'll want to stay at for awhile.
Relocation, to me, gives you an easy "out" - but w/ how you described your history, if you make a move sooner rather than later, just make sure it's a move you're going to stay at for awhile. Otherwise it really will look like "job hopper".
