Want to Quit Present Job With Poise?

It is not always that the job you are doing gives you pleasure or even the satisfaction you need. We may not be happy with our present job because of many reasons – Less salary or no good opportunities or maybe our Boss! We think a lot while leaving a job. If we plan to leave our job it is important for us to make things simpler and cause no problems for both you and the employer. We should not get stuck to one job just because people say or your mind thinks that the firm needs us. If we are able to get a more satisfying and well paying job elsewhere then we should definitely try and move ahead.

·   Work With Patience – Don’t ever just quit your present job in a hurry just because you are confident that you will get another job easily anywhere you want. People who quit their jobs in haste or in anger always regret and have to find an alternative way of earning.

· Having Financial Support is Important – Before quitting your present job we must make sure whether we have enough money in our financial cushion or not so as to survive until we get a job elsewhere. Hence it is necessary to make sure that we have reserves in the bank to keep us sustained.

· Finding A New Job Before Leaving – If we just leave the present job in a hurry and apply for a new job the next day, we will get that job. Right? No, of course not. It is life not a fairytale. So before leaving your job we should keep applying for different jobs and must keep giving interviews when called. These interviews can be done on weekends. The consequences of leaving the present job without any alternative are hard to face.

· Your Boss Deserves A Notice – A written notice handed to your boss is always appreciated which should be in accordance with your agreement at the joining time. This notice should be written by you mentioning to quit your present position. This is the most considerate and respectful way of leaving the present job.

·  Honesty Is The Best Policy – Every boss is happy to have honest and trustworthy employees. And considering you as one of those honest employees he may ask you the reason of why you want to leave the job and you should be answerable to him as well. Telling the truth may help you. For example, If you tell your boss that you are not satisfied with the salary being paid to you in accordance to your services then your boss may be convinced with your reason and makes a suggestion to increase your salary and stay in the job or maybe gives you a promotion. This would be a vanilla ice-cream with a cherry on top.

·  Professionalism – Professionalism can be shown anywhere. When you are giving your Resignation, you might find your colleagues not treating you in a good way and if that moment you have self control and don’t get angry - That is what actually Being Professional is all about.

So you must be fully prepared if you are thinking of leaving your present job.
