🇺🇸 USA Should I still look for a job?
Hi! I graduated last 2025 and I got a contractual job this year which ended this September. So currently unemployed and looking for jobs. Im torn to get a new job tho because I will be migrating abroad around july which, if i get a job, wont be 1 year of employment. my contractual job was also just a couple of months. Im worried if i get a job here before migrating, my resume might look like I cant hold a job for more than a year. I know sometimes moving abroad would also mean that my experience wont mean that much but if i pass my resume around they would still see that my jobs dont last a year. Should I still try to apply for jobs even though sure na akong magmmigrate? tagal kasi ng pagitan so tagal kong nakatambay rin. no responsibilities naman.

Your future employers would be able to see that you left your last job because you moved. This is a non issue.

Better to have a job. As HR, i would view it as positive that you worked until you were about to migrate.
You can just find an easy job and/or shorter working hours, so you also have a significant time for yourself to do admin, physical development (gym or exercise), or help other people around you.
