Using bimonthly job duration data of young men taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I estimate the job-to-job and job-to-nonemployment transition hazards by a semiparametric competing risks model which controls for unobserved heterogeneity fixed over time within individual. Both hazards increase with job tenure during the first two months and decrease subsequently, consistent with models of job matching in which worker's performance after hiring provides useful information on the quality of a match.
