My last 5 jobs have all lasted less than 2 years, how do i make this look alright on a resume?
-
the last 3 jobs were all in the same industry. and the 2 before that were both warehouse jobs. I have legitimate reasons as to why these jobs were so short. But i fear they just sound like excuses on my resume and in the interview. I believe this is really hurting my chances to get interviews and jobs.

Answer:
You don't need to list every single job you had on your resume. Experts all agree that employers don't really care all that much about jobs you've done more than 5 years ago. Unless those job are related to the position that you are currently applying, you don't need to list them. Use your own judgement. Put down the stuff that you interviewer wanted to see on your resume. Trim out unnecessary information

You could say that you were overqualified for those jobs, or state that you've five jobs in the past, say that you have experience, and nit tell them how long you were employed for
