If you’ve had jobs that were of short duration, focus on highlighting and leveraging your accomplishments from your previous work experience. Consider reading For Job-Hunting Success: Track and Leverage Your Accomplishments. Remember that no matter how good a job you do with your resume, the question about your last few experiences will likely be asked - and you need to be prepared with a good answer. Talk about how there were circumstances out of your control that have since been resolved - that you are ready to make a longer-term commitment to your next employer - to stay for as long as there are challenges to conquer and results to deliver to help the company’s bottom line. You can find more interviewing resources at the Quintessential Careers Guide to Job Interviewing Resources.
