Take your job simply and always look for the best


Take your job simply and always look for the best


 "Leaving a firm isn't always a simple decision. However, leaving your present workplace in the proper manner is one of the most essential professional decisions you can make. Every business has flaws and strengths, just like any other partnership. People prefer to focus on the flaws after the end of a relationship.


BREAKING UP IS DIFFICULT.

It's like breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend when you quit a corporation. There will be feelings regardless of how you go about it. The deeper the sentiments, the longer the connection. Keep this in mind while you go through the separation process. People communicate their feelings in a variety of ways, so be ready to respond with empathy.


THE WORLD IS A SMALL PLACE

Burning bridges is something I've learnt the hard way. In reality, my previous employer recruited me two years after I left the firm. He had gone on to a greater job with another business and remembered me when a vacancy in his field became available. The interview process was quick and simple because we already had a good relationship. In addition, the job represented a big professional and financial advancement for me.



DO NOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE COMPANY OR ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR IT.

 This is an excellent strategy to follow at all times, but it is especially important while you are leaving. During this period, disgruntled workers may approach you to express their grievances about the firm or the people who work for it. Resist the urge to join in on these talks. Your feedback is very likely to be shared with others.


DO IT OR DON'T IT?

Here are a few dos and don'ts to make the move go more smoothly for everyone.

DO prepare and deliver a brief resignation letter to your immediate supervisor and, if applicable, your Human Resources Director. It memorializes your plan to depart the firm by placing a few crucial elements in writing. It also allows you to simulate the conversation with your supervisor. Your last day on the job, open things that need to be completed before departing, and any work that needs to be passed off to someone else should all be included in the letter.


DO put in a lot of effort till you go. It's natural to get "short-sickness" timer's because you've already psychologically adjusted to your new job. People tend to recall the beginning and finish of movies, novels, and relationships more than the middle. 


To ensure a smooth transfer, provide as much warning as possible. This usually takes two to four weeks. Use your best judgment to determine how long you'll need to offer while keeping the company's best interests in mind. It's also conceivable that your employer will urge you to quit right away, especially if you're going to work for a rival. This is not a personal attack and should not be taken as such. 


DON'T TAKE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE YOURS



 Leave everything behind, including staplers, company-owned books, copy paper, and paper clips. Clean up a little while you're at it. 

DURING YOUR LAST DAYS, DO NOT ABUSE EMAIL, THE TELEPHONE, OR THE INTERNET.

 Maintain the same level of professionalism in your communication as you have during your stay.


Make yourself available to take your spot. If your successor is hired before you go, offer to train them. Even after you've left, it's a good idea to provide a phone number where you may be reached and hours when calls are appropriate.


There's no reason you can't be friends once it's finished. It will pay off significantly if you are cautious to preserve a good reputation with the firm, their suppliers, their customers, and their staff. Your paths will meet again, albeit it may not be straight away.
