Honestly, you have not shown stability in any one job. Who wants to hire someone who may last several months? The longest job you held was for 3 years. As an employer we want to see someone who is reliable and has plans to stay committed to a job.

Honestly, YOU (Jonsie) have not shown anything that would make you a good EMPLOYER.

You chose to insult someone without even reading the entire resume.

You chose to ignore the fact that many of the positions were through staffing services aka temporary agencies (most positions through a temporary agency are on 'need' basis and are ended by the employers).

As a potential employee I would like to see an employer who chooses to actually READ before running their mouth or hitting their keyboard!!

8 years of self employment and close to 7 1/2 years with one employer (Wells Fargo/First Interstate) is certainly more than the THREE years Jonsie throws out so disparagingly isn't it now?
