MONTREAL, June 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Imagine being an HR manager for a moment. In walks a job candidate who is young and doesn't have much job experience but does have good references, a strong educational background, and a pleasant and eager attitude. And then these words come out: "very ambitious" and "eager to climb the ladder and take on more responsibility." At this point, certain managers will mentally cross this candidate off the list, and understandably so: a young, ambitious job-seeker might not stick around for very long, and simply job-hop to the next big break or opportunity. Although this might be the case on some occasions, research from PsychTests.com reveals that hiring managers may have more cause for concern when it comes to job candidates who lack ambition.

Key Points: 
  • And then these words come out: "very ambitious" and "eager to climb the ladder and take on more responsibility."
  • They then assessed the reasons that might compel each group to quit a job - 19 motives in total.
  • Interestingly, the unambitious group had a higher likelihood of leaving for 11 of the 19 reasons for turnover.
  • > 37% might quit if they had to deal with bullying or psychological harassment, compared to 27% of the Ambitious group.
