Before considering a one-on-one with a goodbye by registered letter with your boss, it is important to take stock of what you will leave when you change jobs. With time, all the memories are good, and you may miss the Monday lunches with the accounting girls, the Friday drinks with the sales people and the haute couture tips from Julia, whose guy works in the fashion. Your job bores you, that's one thing, but in your current company, everyone knows you and you can spend a morning doing nothing except sharing a coffee on all the floors. Above all, your notoriety is well established:since you managed to get Mr. De Mesmaeker to sign the contracts, nothing can resist you! Your internal network is such that even absent, one has the impression that you are effective. Moreover, your colleagues, seeing you locked up in your office, believe you thoroughly on the files in progress, while you are doing your small calculations before considering your professional retraining:the mutual paid by the company, meal vouchers, works council... and above all:your individual right to training, your seniority... If your status in the company promises you a hierarchical or financial leap very soon, this may not be the time to leave it even if you really want to change jobs...
If you had the idea of convincing your banker in the spring to grant you a loan to buy the house of your dreams, it may not be wise to file your resignation right away. And this, even if you have found another position, elsewhere, better paid:you will not be credible if you are still on probation. Also be careful not to experience several upheavals at the same time:avoid leaving your job if your husband has decided to leave… the home. You will get more leniency from colleagues who know you. This is also true if you are planning to get pregnant:juggling a pregnancy and the need to train for a new job is a complicated challenge to overcome, you could miss one of the two. In all cases (marriage, adoption, spouse's unemployment, illness of a loved one, etc.), if your personal life requires flexibility from your company, check before leaving yours:it can provide it, this flexibility.
Despite the personal brakes of comfort in staying at your post, you are determined to leave it. Several reasons for changing jobs:either you are in pain because your goals are unattainable or your abilities are limited; either you are in conflict with your hierarchy and there is no future for you, no possible evolution; or you are completely demotivated... If your individual rights allow you training for professional retraining, now is the time to use it, even if it means doing a skills assessment to know which profession to choose.
