Job-hoppers guide

3. Be a model employee. The most desired employees are those who put their 'all' into the job they do. You want your reputation to be that of a hard-working, talented individual that puts 100 per cent into every job. So don't just bide your time until a better offer comes along. Work as hard as you would if you planned to be there for the next ten years.

4. Don't forget the small print. For example, make sure you negotiate benefits such as bonuses, pensions, life assurance and even medical health insurance. You could also find out if there are other perks on offer such as gym membership or product discounts.

5. Know when to stop. Your aim should be to find a job that suits you in terms of company culture, salary and working hours etc. Once you find it, it might be time to settle down. After all, the buoyant job market won't last forever.
