How to give up your work

At a global level there is a high percentage of employees who feel dissatisfied with their current jobs, whether due to a bad work environment, low remuneration, too much stress or mistreatment from their superiors, many people finally make the decision to leave your job and start a new path, but it is not always easy to take the step, that's why we explain how to give up your work without harming your image

Steps to follow:

one

First, think about it and evaluate your motives, if you consider that they are powerful enough to make you consider a new job, then do not hesitate and take the step

two

The first thing to leave a good image is to resign with enough anticipation, especially if you hold a position that you know will be difficult to fill. It is clear that it can not always be done in this way, but it is the ideal scenario especially when you already have some time working in that company

3

Be honest, although the situation of quitting your job can sometimes be uncomfortable, it is important that both your boss and your colleagues know the reason for your departure, if you have found another job, if you plan to open your own business, if you will take a year sabbatical, telling the truth can help you keep an open door or the provision for a recommendation

4

Facilitate things to the follower, leave your boss a list with your contacts and with the information of interest, leave a status of your projects if one has not been completed yet, inform your customers, suppliers and partners of your departure to be aware that soon someone else will take care of your affairs. These measures are not only pure courtesy, but define you as a true professional

5

Avoid at all costs speak badly about the company, either at the time of resigning, during your last days at work or in any future job interview, because that will only make you look bad. If the company did not meet your expectations, inform that you have new professional goals that you wish to fulfill, but do not make strong criticisms inside or outside of work, stay professional

6

Thank your boss and your co-workers, remember that the world goes around a lot and that the work field is smaller than it seems, so it is important to say goodbye and thank all those who collaborated every day with you

7

If the reason that leads you to resign is the bad work environment or the bad treatment of your supervisor, it is very important that you appeal to your emotional intelligence, both when submitting your resignation and in the remaining time that you will spend inside the company. Maintaining control and maturity is vital in the workplace

8

Request your letters of recommendation, the material for the realization of a portfolio or everything you want for future employment references before leaving the company, because for some employers it is very annoying to have to take care of that time after the employee no longer is there

9

If possible, leave the door open, say goodbye with courtesy and if you were lucky enough to make friends in the workplace do not forget to keep in touch and try to keep them over time, as this is usually one of the best things left after leaving an empelo. Good luck!

Tips
  • Avoid heated resignations, if a discussion or conflict has led you to think about quitting your job, do not make the decision with a hot head or you might regret it
  • Remember to be cordial, mature, professional and considerate, even when the company has not treated you like this
  • If you have gotten a better job, do not act impertinently shouting it to the four winds, because you could hurt sensibilities, share it only with who you know will be happy for you
