I see you stayed with your previous companies less than five years. Talk to me about that.

For many employers, your number of years of experience is flexible, so long as you have the equivalent experience and can perform the position with confidence. Also, they are interested in improving their employee retention rates and want to make sure you don't plan on salary hopping or quitting the moment another opportunity comes along. So, share the twists and turns of your career journey, maintaining a focus on furthering your career goals and development.

Align yourself with their values, and where you hope to further your career with them. As they share on their careers site, "Choosing where to grow your career is an important part of your professional and personal life, so it's equally important you know that the company you choose supports and nurtures you in return. 3Mers love working here and on average, stay with the company for 10 years."
