I recently joined a newly established private investment company at the beginning this year, after being poached by my ex-boss. The purpose of me joining this company is that I would like to delve deeper in the analysis/ investment sector of finance. My previous two roles were as a insolvency consultant in a medium audit firm (6 months) and as a senior exec (1y 2months) at a small trustee.

Within this past 5 months the work has been sporadic and the job scope has shifted into a marketing/ business development role where I am tasked to source to procure new clints by connecting with our targeted segments.

The pay is average, however of late there have been salary delays of not exceeding 2 weeks (after the 7th) and the EPF contributions for April & May have not been made. Potential reflags.

I have started looking for jobs (not seriously) in the meantime as I am afraid the company will go under/ the job scope not aligned to my preferences.

Problem being is how am I to convince my prospective employer that my job hopping is justifiable (except the 1st job where I could not handle the work-life balance), do I state outright in the resume the reasons for me leaving those roles?

treat resume as your brag-sheet, state what you do and what have you achieved, don't have to explain why you leave, they won't believe or judge based your single sided story right (put yourself in other shoes kay)

if you have nothing to write then i think you have something else to worry about. Ofc, i think based on what you have stated, you are pretty much doing okay, good luck and all the best
