How Can I Quit a New First Job? (VIDEO)

by

[svp]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMnhOfp_yDs[/svp]
I just started a couple weeks ago, but I have been offered a better job. How can I quit this job without hard feelings from my boss? I promised her I would work holidays and now I feel really flaky to just quit…This is my first job so I am really inexperienced.

 

[spp-transcript]

The question for today is, “How can I gracefully with a new 1st job?  I just started a few weeks ago and have been offered a better job.  How can I quit this job without hard feelings from my boss?  I promised her I would work holidays and now I feel really flaky quitting. This is my 1st job  and I am really inexperienced. This happens quite often for beginners.  This is not the 1st time I proceed to question like this from someone and I decide to answer this

You cannot control your boss’s reaction.  Your boss is going to react if she reacts and is nothing to do with you.

How can you minimize it?  

With sincerity.

You can walk into your boss’s office and say, “Can I see you for a few minutes on Friday afternoon?”  Sit down with her and say, “I‘m not sure how to do this well, so I apologize and I am quitting my job.  A dream position I interviewed for before has come through, something I have always wanted to do.  I cannot let go by.  I’m giving you my notice and my last day of employment will be at the end of this week, next week, whenever it is.“

You are supposed to give 2 weeks notice, but if your employer needs you there sooner, then, you have to do it.  If yours, if your boss responds with anger or upset, loudness (WHAT!)  And some sort of barking at you, just take it.  Don’t respond.  Listen to it.

If she demands answers from you, “Listen, I understand that you are upset. I can’t let this go by; I am 22 years old.  I don’t want to wake up when I was 52 and wondering what I should have done when I was 22 and wondering whether I made the right choice.  This is what I’ve always wanted to do.  It came in like a bolt out of the blue.  I interviewed for this months before we talked  and now it’s here.  I didn’t expect it ever to arrive when they called me.“

“They should have told you sooner!”

“I agree.  Unfortunately, they were not ready to do that.  Now that they have, I’m going to be following up and taking the job offer. I’m so sorry if this catches you short but this really surprised the heck out of me. As I said, my last day is going to be” 

and you tell her the data again. Hand her a letter of resignation at that time. Don’t quit until you have an offer letter in hand from your new employer.

Go out there and be spectacular during your last few days with this firm. It’s distressing, I know, but you have to take it because you are upsetting them. Let them have their upset. Don’t take anything personally. You made a choice. It was the right choice for you. It has an impact on them. AND you will probably never see these folks again.

Good luck in your new job.

Do you think employers are trying to help you?

You already know you can’t trust recruiters—they tell you as much as they think you need to know to take the job they after representing so they collect their payday.

The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.

When Your Current Employer Wants More Than Two Weeks Notice

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter explains how to respond when your current manager asks for more than two weeks notice.

[spp-transcript]

I want to talk with you about those instances when you are giving you notice in your current employer turns around and says, “No! No! No! Not two weeks notice. We need four, six, eight weeks notice two months notice! Two years notice!” Whatever it is, it’s more than two weeks.

Here’s how you respond to it. I want to understand that the reason you doing this is that if you agreed to their unreasonable request (and it is an unreasonable request), it has an impact on your relationship with your future employer. That’s where you are going to be for the next period of your life, not with your former employer.

You just very simply respond by saying, “I understand your concern. I want you to know that I’m very prepared to do over time in order to ensure that this is a smooth transition. I given a commitment to my future employer on a particular date. My commitments are important to me; it’s important to them as well and I’m going to be there on that date.”

“If you need me to work overtime or participate in the interviewing for my replacement and assist with the hand off , I can take phone calls, not a ridiculous number of phone calls but I can take a phone call or two when my new job and will be happy to answer the new person’s questions. However, again, I need to be there on this particular date.”

If you work for big or midsized company, you don’t have to worry about this, because sometimes we work for a small firm or the owner is very hands-on you, may have to contend with an owner who says, “What! If you feel that way, get out of here now!” And they throw you out of your job now. If that happens, they obviously didn’t need you for more than two weeks, right? If you want to start sooner at your next employer you can contact them and say, “The person I was working for decided it would be better if I left now and I would like to join sooner.”

“Why did they feel that way?”

“They had an emotional tantrum when I gave them two weeks notice and they asked for four and I said I’m going to keep my commitment.”

That reinforces an ethical quality in the mind of the next employer in you.

Would It Be Bad If I Left My New Job After Two Weeks?

by

 

There’s more to the story that I’ll explain but this is the crux of it. For some reason, the audio is not perfect. I apologize and the content is great.

A person just joined a bank and received an offer from a well-known tech firm to join at a salary 80% higher than the bank offered and with 50% more stress.

He is wondering whether he should stay or go. What would you do?

How do you think I’ll answer him? What you think my reasoning will be?

I have great reasons for him.

Is It Worth It?

by

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discusses a call he received from a job hunter about resigning a position so they could check a reference.

In it, I discuss receiving a call from someone through LivePerson (now PrestoExperts.com) who was kind of torn.

There are two elements to is the scenario she painted for me.

She described how her perspective employer wanted to do a reference check with her current employer . . . and that she had lied about her salary.

Here, I offer a solution for what she should do.
