For the last three or four years, my employment has been very spotty. I work in an industrial town where the only jobs are factory/warehouse work. Honestly these jobs SUCK. For the past several years I've been bouncing around from job to job. I've literally not kept a job for more than a month in at least two years.
I know that's bad, but it's why I want to change careers so badly. I want to do something more than just stand at a machine and press a button all day. I know that probably comes off as being lazy, but really, it's less about laziness and more just frustration about not being able to work at something worthwhile that I enjoy.
If I could explain that to a recruiter, do you think I could get hired? Or will they just see my history and write me off?
