So when you head into that next big interview, think about how you can show you're a high performer who's both learned and contributed in each job -- and it won't matter much whether you stay for one year or 10. (Though it's probably a good idea to try to stay at least a year, as it's kind of hard to argue you made a real mark in a job you had for six months.) I'm all for being honest about your struggles to find the right fit, but be sure to make the interview about how you made the best of each role, not how bad they all were. And since you'll want to reassure the new company that you won't be headed out the door fast, come with some examples of what makes their organization such a good one for you.
