How do I explain frequent job changes in an interview?

Give a short, honest summary of the pattern, show what you gained, and explain why you want to stay in this role. Interviewers mainly want to know you will stay long enough to contribute.

Example: "My first three roles were short because two were fixed-term contracts and one company closed. Each move gave me broader experience in logistics. I am now looking for a long-term role where I can grow into supervision, which is why this position appeals to me."

Tips:

• Group the reasons rather than telling each story separately.
• Take responsibility where moves were your choice.
• Do not criticise previous employers.
• Link your answer to what this employer offers.
• Keep it true. If one move was simply a mistake, say so briefly and explain what you now look for in a role.

Prepare by writing one line for each short job, then a two-sentence summary of the overall pattern. Practise it aloud so it sounds natural, and keep it consistent with your resume dates and any application form answers.
