Short employment terms due to restructurings - How do you handle them?

Have been a part of 2 corporate restructurings back to back both in the under 1 year mark but greater than 8 months.

While this isn't ideal, there isn't much I can do about it unfortunately but with that said, has anyone been in this point before and how did they go about it when dealing with future employers?

Have been labelled as a job hopper as of recent due to this when the reasons switching have been outside of my control.

Any feedback or advice into this is highly appreciated!
