Window shopping of jobs: Offer shopping!

Offer shopping, though the term in itself is not self-explanatory but it precisely means that it is the practice of conducting numerous interviews to find the best job offer and then using that offer to demand a rise in the current job, make a switch, or bargain with prospective new employers. While we indulge more into this, there is actually a broad perspective associated with it.

When we go for shopping, it is a cognitive human behavior to actually go through a lot of options and then deciding the best one amongst them. Likewise, a candidate can try out a couple of different options before applying for any particular job. They want to take their time, figure out pros and cons of each job opportunity and then make a call according to their requirements.

Candidates typically use this opportunity to gain confidence for future interviews or to get better employment. When a recruiter spends many hours shortlisting the top candidates and scheduling interviews, it becomes a nightmare when candidates waste their time and have no intention of joining the organization.

As an ending note, when a candidate shop offers, everyone around him suffers. Time, effort, money, resources and trust – all these factors take a backseat.

Moonlighting: Pros and Cons.

Moonlighting can be both good and bad, depending on the circumstances.

On one hand, moonlighting provides additional income, which is beneficial for individuals who strugle to make ends meet or who are saving up for a specific goal. It allows individuals to gain experience in a different field or industry, which leads to new opportunities or career growth.

On the other hand, moonlighting has negative consequences, particularly if it interferes with individual's primary job. Moonlighting can lead to decreased productivity, burnout, and even conflicts of interest if the second job is in the same industry or involves confidential information. In some cases, moonlighting may also be prohibited by an individual's employment contract or company policy.

All in all, whether moonlighting is good or bad depends on the individual's unique circumstances and the impact it has on their primary job, personal life, and overall well-being.

Job hopping

Choosing your first job as your last job is now considered archaic. Now it's history, that employees will work with the employer for decades. Previously, job hopping was not encouraged as it questions your loyalty or stability towards your employer, but now statistics say it is a trend post-pandemic. 

Job hopping refers to changing jobs frequently. The global pandemic has changed the work culture drastically. Now, working from home or in a hybrid mode are not alien concepts. Job hopping does not affect the entertainment or media industries, but it has an impact on the technology, medical, teaching and several other industries. 

The primary reasons for changing jobs are financial advancement and work-life balance. During the pandemic, many employees acquired skills through online courses, which helped them explore new jobs with significant financial growth.
