I went to school for my current occupation, and completed it in 2004. I have worked in the same position since then. However, it's an industry that was hit hard by the economy a few years ago. Since 2008, I've averaged 17 months at a job. I have never had any gaps of employment, just one layoff. I began work at the first job in November 2009. I worked there until two months back. Now I got a second job. Same job title, just more money. Will that look bad? I want to apply for a mortgage in March next year.
Hi KLMN,
As you have worked in the same position and in the same industry, I don't think there won't be any problem for you to secure a mortgage. However, apart from the employment history, you should also have a good income and excellent credit score in order to get approved for a loan.
Thanks,
Jerry

You could apply for a mortgage right now, so, March of next year is fine
