1 job for 14 years. It was my first job ever. I didn't even apply. They just needed help and I was there and kinda just never left.

I'll be getting a second job soon but that will be a career job so I'll likely only ever have 2 jobs my whole life.

including high school jobs, I'm at 10. Considering I'm looking to leave my current job, so #11 isn't too far away.

If I listed my first job and my current job, there's no way anybody is connecting the 8 dots in between.

Definitely in the 10+ category. Only four have been full time permanent jobs. The rest were infill during periods of being in school, unemployed, or short on cash.

I've done all kinds of jobs, but ultimately it got me on track to a place I love to work.

(note: did not include my salaried position at HFBoards so as not to embarrass the non-salaried light blue mods)

Never put more than 5 on your resume, the interviewer is going to take one look at it and dump it. Way too much content.

BTW, this is good advice. I'd even recommend giving details only on your 3 most recent. The ones before that are only noteworthy if they matter to the job you're applying for. Otherwise it's just a reason for the reviewer not to be bothered reading it.
