Job Hopping

[mp3ulnyhtx]

Hello,

I wondered what the consensus was on how job-hopping is perceived during the LS admissions process. I have slightly over 4 years of work experience in corporate, mainly as a paralegal, but I've jumped around jobs a few times now (5 jobs in 4 years, mainly for marginal salary increases, but in 1 instance, the job turned out to be not so great). I know this can be a red flag to other companies if you're a business professional, but do law school admission teams care as much, if at all, about this? I haven't seen many people asking this question on other forums, so I wanted to ask it here to see if anyone had any insight on this. I'm applying this upcoming fall and have a solid GPA and LSAT, so I'm not too concerned about this, but it is something I think about from time to time and so I wanted to ask.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi MP,

Yes, they are human so they wonder. That said, if you can work it in somehow--perhaps by having a recommender mention it--that would be helpful. And if you were really worried and could get in a LOR, you could put it in a very short addendum.

Thanks!
