What is "between jobs"???

[blacknomi]

Hello,

He is between jobs.

What does he mean?
1. He has more than 2 jobs now. So he must be busy.
2. There are some job opportunities, he's considering which one to
choose.
3. He is a student but he has a part-time job.


Help Help Help~
Thanks

If someone is "between jobs", it means they are currently unemployed. It means they are between having their last job (which has ended) and having their new job (which has yet to start).

Dear Webmaster,

About your last sentence, I'm confusing.

I think the sentence should be

--> It means they are between having their last job (which has ended) and having their new job (which has not yet to start).

because you mentioned in the first sentence which means they don't have jobs currently.

Is my logic rite?

The original phrase is correct. "Has yet to start" means "has not yet started".

Can I say 'He is in between jobs' ?

You could, but that would change the meaning. I would read that as a guy with two jobs or two tasks and he is in between working on one and the other.
