It is checked: there is not a single person in the world who is absolutely satisfied with his work. More than half of Russian employees are constantly in search or at least plan to change jobs in the next two years. And it is important not only to decide in time for dismissal and transition to a new company, but also to do it as much as possible deliberately. How to properly quit on your own? We study the laws together.
We leave with the mind.
To master all the subtleties of the transition from one job to another is not so easy. It's not enough to be just a professional, you still need to be able to plan your career movements correctly. Severe "law of the jungle" says: writing a statement of care, you cross the line beyond which a return is impossible. Therefore, in no case do not sweat fever: weigh all the pros and cons and talk to the authorities as soon as possible.
"As soon as I was invited to a new job, on the same day I wrote an application for leaving at the old place ," says the consultant Oksana Kozina. " But by the evening I realized that I hurried, agreeing to the first sentence that came up, which, besides, did not suit me in everything. The next day I apologized to the authorities, and they left me in the company. As a result, the transition to another job, which still took place in a month, was not at all smooth . "
Decision is made.
So, you are determined to quit. How to make it most painless? Wait for the moment when you can stay with the commander face to face, so as tactfully as possible to inform him of your decision. Say that you were happy to work in such a wonderful company and appreciate the experience you gained, but received an offer that can not be abandoned. However you are afraid of missing a new opportunity, try to "bargain" the new employer for time to think. Two weeks is quite enough: you will have time to think everything over and consider other vacancies.
"I started a conversation with the chef with the words:" I have unpleasant news: I was offered an increase in salary with twice the salary in another company , "says sales manager Elena Frolova. - So, I immediately let the head understand that I was sincerely sorry to leave our company, and he, in turn, was able to assess how profitable the place was offered to me, and did not even try to persuade me to stay. As a result, my "seeing-off" passed in a friendly atmosphere: everyone was happy for me, including the boss . "
According to a study conducted by a recruiting company, such conversations now often take an unexpected turn: very often the "top" employees are persuaded to stay, offering not only an increase in the salary, but also medical insurance, office cars and other benefits. However, some employers are badly spoiled by the mood of the statement of care, and they may well change their loyal attitude. So try to remember how the boss reacted to such statements in the past when your colleagues were fired. And before you go to his office, copy all personal documents from your working computer - reinsurance will not be superfluous.
Leaving, do not forget.
Perhaps you will need the recommendation of a former boss more than once, so do everything possible to not ruin the relationship in the end: warn about leaving before two weeks, and even in the "demobilization" period, do the work in good faith. Recommend to the head of candidates for your vacancy, for which you can vouch, or help him in the search. It's also a good idea to leave your coordinates to the successor so that at first he could consult with you if necessary and quickly "join" the work. Do not burn bridges in your relations with colleagues: if you keep friendly contacts with colleagues, it is likely that they will recommend you to a good post.
Analysis of desires.
Personnel officials say: before you change jobs, you must understand what exactly is not comfortable with the old one. If you do not fit the corporate culture, you need to look for the same job, but in another organization. If you do not like the work itself, you probably should not immediately change the employer. Learn about the opportunity to go to another department or take on other duties. Make a list of career requirements for the new job: the level of salary, the full use of your opportunities, brand awareness of the company, remoteness from your home, a convenient schedule for you, nice people and corporate culture, the availability of insurance. Experts advise to record at least ten points, with five of them must be included in the "mandatory program".
For the interview - fully armed.
Before you go to the interview for the position of your dream, you must carefully prepare. Clearly determine the minimum wage for which you are willing to work, and do not lower this bar. Otherwise, you will condemn yourself to discontent and will soon re-engage in search. Go to the interviews only with those companies that you are really interested in. Do not agree to come - first find out all the important details on the phone. At the interview, ask them to clearly identify what responsibilities you will have and who will be your leader. Find out where your workplace will be, how it is equipped, how to organize lunch for employees and whether mobile communications are paid. Find out the terms of leave and sick leave. It is not out of place to find out why the person who previously held your position left.
"When they told me at the interview that the chief had fired the previous employee, because he twice missed work for 10 minutes twice a month, I realized that this company does not suit me. Because of traffic jams, I often have small "overlays", and I do not consider them a crime, " - shares sales manager Alexander Shoev.
Be ready not only to ask questions, but also to answer them. As a rule, most of all the employer is interested in what benefit you will bring to the company. Prepare in advance the answers to the standard set of questions: "Why did you choose this field of activity?", "What are your long-term career plans?", "Describe your most successful projects". Learn the history of the company and the names of key executives. Such awareness is often one of the mandatory conditions for recruitment.
Possible and most unexpected questions, for example: "On what literary character would you like to be similar?" With their help, the employer checks how well you can cope with unexpected difficulties. The main thing is not to get lost and respond quickly and with humor.
List of tricky questions in the interview.
> What animal would you like to be?
> If you won a million dollars, what would you spend this money on?
> Imagine that a book has come out of you. What is its name?
> You are on an uninhabited island. What three things would you like to have with you?
> If you had only six months to live, what would you do?
> Which celebrity would you like to be like?
> If you were a fruit, which one?
> How do you assess the work of the interviewer?
All in your hands.
Finding a dream job is easy: you just need to formulate your requirements and use all search channels (internet, newspaper magazines and, of course, familiar ones). Putting a resume on one of the specialized sites, do not expect that you will be flooded with offers. Independently monitor your vacancies and send information about yourself to the companies you like.
The only right choice.
In the event that you have made several proposals and they are not inferior to each other, choose your heart. In the end, everywhere there will be a new place, people and tasks. The most important thing is for you to be comfortable in this office. Consult with specialists, inquire about the companies you are invited to. And do not rush to make a decision.
What the law says.
If you were fired. When a company terminates an employment contract in connection with its liquidation or staff reduction, you are required to pay severance pay in the amount of a monthly salary or two monthly salaries, provided that you have not found a new job within a month from the date of your dismissal. If you are dismissed because of incompatibility of the position held or because of the employment of another employee who previously performed your work, you are obliged to pay compensation - half of salary.
If you quit on your own, you must notify the employer about your dismissal in two weeks in writing. However, during the last two weeks of work, you have the right to withdraw your application. Only knowing the law thoroughly, you will be able to properly quit on your own.
You are not allowed to fire if you are pregnant or are raising children under the age of three, or one is raising a child under 14 years old. Also, if you work under a fixed-term contract and it expired during pregnancy, then according to your application the contract must be extended until the maternity leave. Do not forget about your rights and do not be afraid to claim them.
