The word “unfocused” is considered ugly in the job search, so it is important not to divert your focus when writing a resume.
The mention of too many jobs on your resume is employment suicide. It indicates a lack of commitment and does not gel well with a prospective employer.
A behavior technician should only write relevant experience, charting out the work that he did alongside licensed psychologists, teachers, social workers and school nurses.
