Stability Of Income — An Expanded Definition:

These include:
Gaps in Employment – If there are any gaps in employment that are longer than one month, be ready to provide an explanation. If you happen to be a seasonal worker, allowances can be made but be ready to provide documentation.
The Probability Of Continued Employment — What are the chances of continued employment at your current employer? What are the chances that you can get a similar job based on your qualifications, previous work history, education and location.
Frequent Job Changes — If you have a history of changing jobs, it isn’t necesarily a bad thing as long as you can document that you have changed jobs for advancements, more money, benefits or other related topics. Remember, the underwriter is looking at the stability of income – not necessarily how long you have been at one company.
