@jaspreet: Thanx, I'll surely stick to the current company. This is the posting just to point out that I was rejected in all the big MNC's I aimed for just on this basis. As an HR, I just wanted to point out.....may be rejecting this way a candidate, we are rejecting a potential candidate. Every candidate should be given a chance. The seriousness of a person can be judged in the interview rounds, why rejected at a preliminary interview saying instability. Who's going to change this trend? Do we lack risk-taking ability?
All suggestions & advices are highly highly appreciated. I am really sorry, if anything wrong said.

hi mamta,
you are trying to be naive or feigning innocence? the companies always look to what they can extract from us. continuity is one of those factors.
having good educational background, marks or qualification is one of the criteria - longevity, attitude, ability to get along with others, flexibility in doing any job assigned to you and working with different teams - all these encompass a job.
in my service, we have seen guys brilliant academically, but not flexible in working or taking assignments independently. so all these are considered before taking up a candidate

Mamta,
Your quote : "Actually I am not changing job, but I keep on exploring new opportunities" means that you are looking to move for better opportunities right?
I understand that each time you joined a new company - you were faced with obstacles. The obstacles that you mentioned are not new to anyone. You have not said anything wrong, but you need to understand one fact of life- obstacles are permanent, its just that we have to take a call on when to end it. By running away from obstacles we cant really look at what lies behind those obstacles.
Your aim to be one of the board members of the company is not silly. I appreciate that thought and am sure you will make it!. But we need to give that some time. For becoming the board member of a company - what is it that you need to do? What specific are are you interested in? Which industry are you intersted in? All this - we will not have answers at this point of our career. It is our initial 2 -3 years of our career whiich will help us understand where we are supposed to be. So invest your time in these first few years. Forget the past - stop looking for opportunities right now, but see what you must upgrade yourself with...to be eligible for a good opportunity a couple of years down the line.
Board of Directors - require people with Sound Decision Making and the ability to analyze good predictors too. So take time to be strong with your decisions. If you take a decision once - stick to it to prove yourself right atleast for a while. Then take a decision that will help you grow upward - not horizontally!
I joined this current company exactly 10 months back... I have excellent opportunities (which pays me more than 5 K than the current) and in the same location. But I cant jump and take up another offer - reason: simply the fact that it is a good opportunity does not appeal to me and is no way connected to my Long term goal!
So - keep your long term goal in mind (Board of Director... at this point this is your dream... dream further) and then look at work.

@ramesh: Thanx for those hard words but I am not trying to naive or feigning innocence.
@Asha Mathew: First of all Congratultions for the successful completion of 10months on the organization. Secondly, I'll definetly be a part of the organization as long as I can. Keeping in mind the fact that the company has the probability of closing down. Sometimes my decision-making lacks & sometimes my luck. :(

hi mamta,
if the company closes and you move and quote this, it will not be a problem. but 3-4 companies closing because of you joining, watch the side of the bed you are getting out during the interview date and joining date.
we all have our good days and bad days. we take it as it comes.
for a person like you, take 3 months at a time - so 3-4 periods of 3 months make a year, continue doing this for some time and suddenly you realise you have worked 3-4 years in a company. then you will know the knitty gritty and be advising people like Ash, me and a lot of others.
the initial period of 2-3 years is the most difficult to stay in an organisation. after that you have plans, have commitments and things move on. that's the way the world goes.

Dear Mamta,
Remember one thing professionals have two manage two families, their work life and their personal life. If there is problem in any front all the things will be disturb.
Let’s face the real fact I have seen the people who are associated with a company for a year or less some of them have genuine reason. Sorry to say you are not able to give any reason for all your steps.Bcoz no one can justify a year is short span.**
Well I will only suggest you to not think abt the job think abt your career before joining any company. Yes there is something negative on your resume try to improve this.

Dear Mamata,
Yes it really gives bad impact when you prsent yourself for any Job hire; You may correct at certain instances that office was far away from home, people are or boss is not good but thses are the conditions which are out of control so try to focus on those which is in your control for e.g. before heading for any interview try to dig our all the necessary information about the company and the job profile and the job location and then go ahead ....so that accepatance ratio from both side i.e. from employer or employee side will increase....and there will be no space for disappointment.

hi mamta,
the easiest way for you to get a job is this: say I have not worked at all, I completed my education and was supporting family business for sometime and am now looking to go out on my own.
but like i pointed out - take 3-4 months at a time in the same job and build up your time in a company

hi mamta,
I wasn't asking you to lie. what i meant is this - with your habit of job hopping, no guy in his senses will recruit it. there are a lot of senior HR personnel (managers, recruiters) in this forum, check with them whether they will hire you.
if you are looking for a proper career and have ambitions to go for, the first thing to change is your attitude. job hopping won't help. (this is the last post I am making on your discussion, as it seems meaningless).
we have a classic saying about rigid people - they don't think on their own and they don't want to listen to others. take your pick on this.
I have been blunter in my careers. my bosses have checked with me on their communication and all other things, when guys around were saying "Yes Boss". they wanted to improve and I helped them.
sincerely apologise if I am hurting you - end of post and communication with you
