[Margaret Pilkington]

Employers will always want someone who is going to stay, but the truth is they do not do much(and I know this is a huge generalisation here) to retain valuable staff.
Those who do a good job and go the extra mile.
A good employer will ensure that the recruitment process is suitable to detect those who really are not going to be an asset to the company.
I was involved in recruitment and selection during my working life and so I know how valuable a good process is.
There are always going to be those who find that either their circumstances have changed, or the job is not what they thought it would be...but I still think that if there is a job, and you want to be in work, then you should take it...Gaps on a CV make employers think you are workshy.
