TIME TO QUIT YOUR JOB?

Finding yourself in a discontented and ungratified position at work can take its toll on your health and personal well-being. Waking up with headaches, dreading the office on a Sunday afternoon, wishing on a case of the bird flu or any debilitating condition just not to have to go into the office, could be signs it’s time to change jobs.

Considering options to stand one's ground or take a permanent leave of absence could add to your daily thread of anxiety. You may be justified in your reasons to stay, such as the security of having a job, or you’re in a comfort zone with the ability to do your job in your sleep. Needing the money is an unambiguous obvious, or to you, there may be no better option.

Encountering this predicament could be the first step to your change and personal growth.

There are however good reasons to leave the job you hate:

· You have sourced a better job
· Had an exciting career move
· Your scheduling and hours have changed
· Personal Illness or crisis within your family
· Pursuing studies
· When your health, be it mental or physical suffers
· Conflicting with Manager or Director Supervision
· No growth within the company

After much deliberation, and your con’s outweigh your pro’s, we have a few pointers to assist with your transition.

Mum’s the word

Playing your cards close to your chest when it comes to dissatisfaction with your current job is highly advisable. This will also relate to your intention to leave. You don’t know who has what agendas. Until you’ve planned and executed your escape route, keep it under wraps.

Consider forfeiting your UIF

When resigning from a position, keep in mind you will not be receiving your UIF you’ve been contributing towards. There will be no compensation between leaving your current job and starting your new one. If possible, make provisions to tide you over.

Update your resume and LinkedIn Profile

Update your CV and LinkedIn profile with your current position and responsibilities. Focusing on your strengths which will benefit you in the positions you will be applying for.

Job search

Once your resume has been updated, begin your job search and email your resume to relevant positions. Do not do this in your current job during office hours! Once you have secured an interview with a prospective employer, do not list your reason for leaving as one of dissatisfaction with the job or management. You will want to keep a positive and professional demeanor.

Resignation Letter

Leaving on good terms and with at least 2 weeks notice will allow the company to make necessary provisions. Type out your resignation letter with your date of termination ensuring it's emailed at least 2 weeks before leaving. You can request referral letters from your manager or director to assist in procuring your ideal job.
