Dear Career Doctor,

I graduated with a degree in business in a reputable university overseas last year. I majored in HR and marketing. After graduating, I took up a role in a financial services firm in client services. With little interest in their services, I left the job after 3 months and secured a 3-month graduate internship in human resources. The job went well and I liked it. The firm offered me a permanent role by the end of my 2nd month. However, I turned down the offer and left the role because the offer was below market rate. At the same time when they offered me the permanent role, I got another offer from a branding agency. I accepted their offer instead and have worked with them for 3 months now. I am enjoying the work. Yet, it is a small branding company in Hong Kong. Even though it has operations around the world, I am worried that the exposure I gain here may not enable me to progress fast and may fall behind when compared to other recent graduates. I know that my resume looks jumpy and I should not look for another job in a short while. However, a marketing role from one of my favorite companies is now accepting applications (a management trainee position). The job function is appealing and I am very interested in the services that the company provides. I am struggling if I should apply. As it is with a reputable company, the role offers great exposure and attractive package. At the same time, as it is a management trainee position, if I missed the opportunity this year, I will not be qualified to apply next year (they only accept applications from recent graduates). The interview procedure is lengthy, so by the time all stages of the interviews finish, I would have stayed in my current role for 8 months at least. Should I take another move again and apply the position?
