The Phenomenon Of Kutut Loncat In Work, In The Past, Negative Views Now Get Positive Appreciation

JAKARTA In the professional world of the French generation, although not all of them, tend to avoid standard jobs and choose the opposite: a career full of experience, which according to a study lasts only a few years.

In Indonesian, job hopping is often called aphid jumping, because it moves from one place to another. This habit of moving is often considered a negative thing.

Because of this habit, people who like to do job hopping are considered employees who are not loyal to the company and seem easy to give up on the situation. In fact, many workers have their own reasons for doing job hopping in a career.

But over time, the world of work is changing. Unlike the previous work environment, now many people are starting to realize that job hopping is not always bad and see this phenomenon from different sides.

In today's era, the trend of moving from work has become commonplace, especially carried out by generation Z and millennials. Among human resources, this phenomenon is referred to as a job hopping. One of their characteristics is persistent ambition to get promoted.

Job hopping is a rapidly growing trend in the labor market and generally refers to professionals who often change jobs voluntarily.

They are known as job shops and the goal is to find new challenges. Although they rarely stay in a company, unless offered an opportunity to move internally, companies begin to appreciate them.

According to Ryan Khan, founder of a company engaged in human resources, The Hired Group, "the perception of job hopping has changed in recent years and is now considered normal".

Job hopping is a more popular way of working among the latest professionals, who are generally young and have a digital profile, who often move from one job to another.

One of the defining characteristics in this hoppng job is persistent ambition to move up the career path.

But what are the specific reasons that encourage them to move from one job to another every few months?

Generally this is due to continuous searches for new challenges, salaries and better conditions, consideration of change as a driving force in their lives, feeling free because they are not bound to the company, and the desire to increase their knowledge.

If the company under their protection offers them a similar scenario, making it easier for them to make an internal leap, it's not impossible for some of them to reconsider the situation and choose to stay.

Although lately more and more workers have followed this trend, job hopping is not for everyone. The majority who do this are millennials and post-millennial groups. You could say that they are now 20 to 34 years old, usually related to the world of technology, and prefer to work based on projects rather than permanently tied to a company.

In addition to having this vision as part of their DNA, Randstad, one of the largest human resources companies in the world, said that a person who likes to move from work has several qualities.

First, with curiosity and ambition to encourage them to continue learning, a clear sign of their ability to face various tasks and challenges. This is a basic requirement in a rapidly changing sector like technology.

In addition, workers who are accustomed to new situations, the ability to cope with stress and strain tends to be higher. In times of uncertainty like today, companies uphold confidence, resilience, and openness to change.

Throughout his career, this jump rat worker has often developed communication and management capabilities, two very valuable capabilities for the company.

"Their emotional intelligence may develop rapidly, therefore, they are younger in working well with colleagues," said Ranstad.

Job hopping will also provide opportunities to expand experience and relationships in the professional world. From a different workplace, it is very possible to build networking that can be useful.

Having a large network can also be an added value for the company because you can expand your company's relationship and it can make work easier when you need connections from certain fields," he continued.
