resume/job change

So I just started a job I really like 1 month ago and now my bf of five yrs is talking about moving. I would be at my current job for 3-5 months when leaving...my resume is 5+ at one job, next most recent job 9 months, current job 3-5 months. My concern is if I move with him and I hate it or we break up or we move back here in 6months to 1 year... would my current employer consider rehiring me if I left on good terms with a one month notice despite only being empolyed for 3-5 months with them?
Hiring people and training them is expensive. Does not matter how much notice you have given them of your departure, it is not going sit well with your manager; whether or not you are "eligible for rehire" is an entirely different matter, no way to predict this.Finding a "job you like" is not an easy prospect, and I would strongly urge you to stay in your current position at least a year, future employers may call this company and ask for a reference and you do not know what they will say. You do not want the stigma of being a "job hopper", and you already acknowledge that there is a possibility that you may hate where you move and that adds yet another job that you worked at less than a year.This is just my opinion, but I have had a lot of experiences working as a recruiter. I wish you good luck, you have a lot of choices ahead of you.

What if your boyfriend relocated first, and you stayed at your current job while he got settled and you searched for employment? I would NOT leave a job after such a short time unless I had something else lined up already. I would also be very, very cautious about letting your relationship come before your career. Why does your BF want to move? Is he relocating for better employment? If the two of you are in this for the long haul, this should be a carefully considered, mutual decision.

I think freq change of jobs, even for 'relocation' can still be viewed upon as a negative. The reason for 'relocation' would have to quite strong, ie. military spouse relocated, new distant school attendance, need for specialty healthcare, primary HC provider for family member, etc.To been there - I would gather that your length of stay at your jobs were more than just a few months at a time like OP's. And your experiences (ER, supervisor, training, LTC, psych, pedi ICU, whatever) may have made you an attractive candidate.To OP - if you were to seek rehire, it would all depend if there were openings available for you. And like others have said, short term hires leave a 'bad taste' for employers. Their thinking could be that makes you look 'flighty' - and for them, 'once burned, twice cautious'.

Quote from Been there,done thatI have a variety of employers on my resume. I was always under the impression " reason for leaving: relocation" was not a job hopping factor. How can NM give a not eligible for rehire, based on a move?
