Will I have a hard time getting a job?

I'm going to school right now to be a Radiology Technician. In my past I have quit quite a few jobs after working for less than a month and I'm not proud of it. I'm wondering if I will have a hard time finding a job after I'm done with school if employers do background checks and see my sketchy employement history. Will they really care if I didn't work more than a month at McDonald's and Taco Bell when I have gone to school to get a degree for my future career?Will I have a hard time getting a job?
Since employment is supposed to begin after completing

education,then it is my considered opinion,that whatever

employment you had during your education,should not be

a barrier.Will I have a hard time getting a job?
Probably not. It's only McDonald's and Taco Bell. Plus if you were disciplined enough to get through school that will count more.Will I have a hard time getting a job?
lol, your education is more important to them compared to how long u worked at a fast food.

you weren't happy there. I'd do the same thing!

One yr. I had 12 w2 forms. my Mother and I had a contest that yr. [a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago!] she won. she had 13

hahaha, it cracks me up.

anyway, your in a great field. Trust me, they will not care.

They only want a educated licensed person such as yourself.

stop worrying.

take a little more humor in the past.Will I have a hard time getting a job?
As a hiring manager, it would certainly give me concern. If I had 2 people who were equally qualified and one had 10 jobs that lasted less than a month and one had a single job throughout the duration of their education, I'd lean toward the one with the stable work history.



But don't worry too much. Address it in your interviews and provide a reasonable explanation such as 'it was a struggle to get through school financially so I needed to work but found that these jobs interfered with my studies because of time demands.' Then, be honest and tell them that you aren't proud of leaving the jobs so early but you needed to focus on your greater goal, stuck with it, and now you're ready to pursue a long-term position. Also, during the interviews bring up something else that you have pursued for a long time. The honesty, well thought out and communicated explanation, and your commitment to pursuing your goals now put you ahead of the other candidate. That's the kind of person I want working for me.
