I got my first job this year in Feb at a pharmacy. Before, I lived in London and you can't get a decent job till you're 16 there. So my longest job is 9 1/2 months and counting :)

i've been working at woolies for close to 3 years now and i am 17 ..... dont worry about what people say cos in the long run employers are going to be impressed that you were able to uphold a job for so long at a young age :)

12 months in one location.
3 years for one employer.

It depends on your situation, obviously 3 years at Coles/Maccas/Wherever through High School can be seen as a positive. 3 years as a checkout chick once you have your degree is something else entirely.

Four years, three months. Too long, but it's a rut that's easily cruised.

Not at all. Just make sure you have a good excuse if the next job ever asks you why you left. Make sure it's nothing like "the last boss sucked" or "it was boring".
