Do one year contracts harm your CV?

My current contract is one year. I am thinking of leaving after the end of the year.

The new job is also possibly a one year contract. Who knows but I may leave there after one year.

I have been told by people, including senior staff that this will harm your ability to be hired in the future because it looks like you have no committment.

Any thoughts or experience with this??

Thanks in advance.

Re: Vienna Austria?

Thankyou for your responses guys.

Very helpful.

I passed on the offer in the end. A variety of reasons but mainly financial.

I am new at this and I can't believe how quickly your life can change with this career. In a matter of days you could be on your way to a new continent. WOW!

Now i have the same decision with Moscow Russia. This is tough. ha ha.

moscow russia?

I have been offered a contract in Moscow. The pay is fine, the school seems nice and the conditions good.

But its Russia. Has anyone lived there? What it like. Bleak and miserable or as fun as any other country. It seems interesting to me but a very unknown place. Just curious.

Love any feedback about the city and the lifestyle one might have there.

Thanks.

Vienna Austria?

I have been offered a 3 year contract in Vienna Austria. I am Australian. The chance to work in Europe would be amazing.

School is great, conditions great. Pay is Horrible. 40000 Euros. I will have enough to travel, have a nice life and save very little.

I was curious to get some thoughts from people who have chosen Europe to live in Europe. Is the lifestyle worth the lack of ability to save money.

Has anyone lived in Vienna. Is it all its cracked up to be. Im single and active so it sounds great. Very overwhelmed right now.

Any imput would be appreciated.
