Many young workers looking to change job in first quarter

Too much hopping hurts chance of landing a new position, expert says

The weeks after the Spring Festival holiday were expected to see a job-hopping frenzy among young white-collar workers, especially those in their 20s, according to a recent survey.

About 65 percent of respondents born in the 1990s said they wanted to change jobs in the first quarter of this year, while less than one-third of those born in the 1960s wanted to do so, implying that older people become more prudent about changing employment.
