What do you think of capsuleers with a large employment history?

I find it absurd to jump from one corp to the next one within just few weeks or even days.

Don't you care about the lamentable image you are projecting about yourself? Anyone can see you deserve no trust, because you are quitting at first problem you encounter. Or maybe you are just an awoxer or a corp thief. What other reason to act like this?

Check for example character Urodus. Seriously WTF?

It is OK that you have lived in crappy corporations here and there, but anyone systematically dropping their new corp everytime... oh well it is lame. Still the desperate recruiters keep allowing these impatient/i-dont-know-what-i-want scummers onto their failure corporations.

They're harder to sell than capsuleers with no corp history. Other than that, I don't give it much thought.

That they've been playing longer than you.

Mine is a little long. Corporations are there to be exploited and dropped when no longer required.

It's quite simple, people with large employment histories aren't to be trusted. If they only spend a short time in each corp, they're likely to continue to do so, and it's a big indicator that they are a thief, awoxer or general scumbag.

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

Depends:
Failed Corps
Failed Corps that the player started
Inactive Corps
In-Corp Fighting
Not the type of Corp they were looking for

Many reasons why a person may have a long employment history. Most of the time its not a worry. Pirate

But there are some that have couple days there couple days there, maybe some concern, possible spai.

It really depends, I have jumped to a few holding corps and come back, Have jumped corp when it was required by the corp and returned / changed to a similarly related corp for some purpose or another.

One of the worst markers on my corp history, was when SMA took me back in after about a year had passed since there leader had me kicked out instead of promoted for talking about where my family was from in a forum post. (i had to make do with a punishment for a month as well which was served dutifully)

I hadn't broken a rule or anything apparently he just didn't like my over helpful attitude - which may have been suspicious i guess his rudeness was what ground my gears over the issue.

but after coming back they decided to boot me out once more for old corp history 1 hour after joining, (after an API verified check i might add)

So i take corp histories with a pinch of salt - a lot of the time its innocent or ended corps that failed and their members move on. in my case iv been burned by an asshat who is too full of themselves to just explain talk about a problem

99.9% of the corps in my list are my own.

Did i steal from myself? xD

But there even are people calling me out on that and then ignoring
that i was CEO of all but maybe two, max three.

I have an employment history longer than my arm, but if asked could explain every switch on there. Some were necessary holding corp moves, some temporary while I waited to see what happened, and some just weren't what I expected.

I can honestly say I have never stolen, or awoxed, just looked after number 1, and if that is a crime I am guilty!

Employment history, one of many considerations helping to evaluate a fellow pilot.
I need to speak to someone to judge them.

No. Tried finding a nice corp, a few times. Failed. In another of my own corps again. With my playstyle, corp does not really matter to me apart from easier sharing bookmarks with my alt.

Someone doesn't like that? Big deal.

Stupid arbitrary five quote rule. Crafted the funniest reply to your post (no, really) but maybe I can just skip to the conclusion.

You seem charmless, maybe recruiting isn't for you.

Hope this helps.

It depends on how long and how many corps, some people really have bounced around until they found that corp that works for them, as a recruiter I wont automatically decline anyone with a long employment history but I will expect them to explain and defend their reasons for it.

I also think those people can be annoying because they freeze my client when I view their history... P

*edit*
Although I normally check any way people with long histories have their killboards scrutinised even more for awoxing.

It depends why they jumped. I have some toons who have lots of "jumps". They mostly jump between the same corp and noob corp and back again. Why? Well, corp standings to anchor POS is high sec. If I want to move a POS, I have to empty the corp of low standing toons, letting them back in again once the POS is up.

Haha, I was just to say that.

One of my Chars have enough employment history to the point of your mouse well breaking just before the end of it.

Lots of ppl have POS in high sec and/or jump clones available at their Corps because there are ppl like me that, sometimes, lend them a hand.

But I'm not offering the services anymore, taking my isk from some other stuff.Pirate

EDIT: BTW, look at the employment history of this toon - 2006 - Republic Military School - OMG, only 1 Corp in 7 years! You can TRUST me by your standings...
