How to Make Travel Part of Your Career (No Matter What You Do)

How to Make Travel Part of Your Career (No Matter What You Do)How to Make Travel Part of Your Career (No Matter What You Do)Youve probably heard at least one of your colleagues talk about ditching it all to travel the world. I know when I ask people what their dream career or lifestyle is, many will say it involves travel of some kind.And while I love dishing out advice about how travel and culture can become partee of your life, I wanted to share some fresh perspectives of other travelers who love it just as much as I do. This week, six very unique women share how they made globetrotting part of their career, why they decided to make the leap into a life of travel, and their best advice for how you can do it, too.Jeannie MarkFounder, Nomadic ChicknomadicchickHow I Made Travel Part of My CareerI started as a junior project manager at an engineering firm, but felt passionless about my work. What always shone through for me was travel, though, so I began taking short solo trips and dis covered a world I never knew existed- one where I could think outside the box and truly become me.Because of those experiences, I began Nomadic Chick as a source to help women live an adventurous, creative life- which can be centered on travel or not. (Thats the beauty of life- its full of choices)My Advice to Professionals Aspiring to TravelDreaming is wonderful, but the first step is being honest with yourself about what it means to actually leave the cubicle. Often, people do it without understanding why- but deep unhappiness is a huge tanzfest of yarn to unravel. Once youve gotten real about why, the next step is to figure out the how. Start a budget to move money toward your dreams. Network with like-minded people who can offer support and ideas, whether in-person or online, and finally, find an emotional support system- people who will never tell you your dreams are crazy, because they arent.Beth SantosFounder, Go Girl Travel NetworkmaximumbethHow I Made Travel Part of My Care erGo Girl Travel Network had an interesting start. The idea came about in 2009, when I was living on the small two-island nation of Sao Tome and Principe, off the west coast of Africa. I started writing about being a woman in the world and living locally, and the website grew.In 2011, I moved to Chicago, where I worked at Rotary International as a grant officer, providing funding and assisting with the development of service projects in the Caribbean and Latin America. It was fun to balance the international dem gemeinwohl verpflichtet world with my pursuits at Go Girl, but eventually I had to make a tough decision, because my hobby was really becoming a job. I was working eight hours a day, then coming home and working another five or six hours into the night. It was the right time, and Im so glad I did it.My Advice to Professionals Aspiring to TravelIf youre looking to make travel a part of your career, you dont have to leave your job and start a new business sometimes you can fin d travel right under your nose. (When I worked at Rotary, for example, I was always traveling and loved it.) That being said, if you have a passion that youre not fulfilling because your job is holding you back, my advice is to start crafting your exit strategy. Sit yourself down and make a savings plan so that when you leave your job, youll have a little cash to fall back on. Im always one to encourage people to go for their dreams, but make sure you also do it responsibly. Take small steps in the right direction before you take a blind leap, and youll be better off for it.Gillian DuffyFounder, One Giant StepOneGiantStepHow I Made Travel Part of My CareerI have always wanted to live a life less ordinary. Theres a saying that you will make the change when the pain of staying where you are is greater than the pain of changing. Thats what happened- the fear of staying and continuing on became much greater than the fear of stepping out to see if I could do it.Now, my partner Jason and I run a travel blog and an affiliate-based travel book site. Weve also released a book How to Find the Perfect Vacation Rental and plan on two more this year, and we do some freelance writing, too. We currently do a mishmash of things to keep a sustainable income and hope it will evolve in the coming years into a more definable model.My Advice to Professionals Aspiring to TravelOne way to overcome fear is to face it head on. Describe exactly what you are fearful of and determine what you would do if the worst case scenario actually happened. Often, its not that bad and there is a way to manage it. The safety net of experience, knowledge, and education stays with you- honestly, the worst case scenario is probably that youd have to come home and go back to your old job. Not that bad, right?Then its just guts, gumption, and hard work to keep it going. The biggest lesson we learned is to trust ourselves. We may have left our careers behind, but we didnt leave our education, experience, skills, knowledge, talent, and success behind. We lean on it and add to it every day as we move forward on our projects. Stephanie DenzerProgram Manager, Spark VenturesSparkVentures SADenzerHow I Made Travel Part of My CareerLearning Spanish in middle and high school at immersive summer camps helped pique my interest in cross-cultural experiences. Later, when I lived in Argentina during college, I worked with a social sector organization and realized I could combine my strong interest in developing innovative solutions to poverty with my willingness to have an open mind to new cultural contexts. From there, I knew international development was the right career path for me.I found the perfect balance for me at Spark Ventures. We partner with grassroots organizations in the developing world who are providing nutrition, education, and healthcare to kids. We help these local organizations become financially sustainable by jointly launching for-profit businesses.My Advice to Professiona ls Aspiring to TravelTake advantage of your vacation time to step out of your comfort zone. At Spark Ventures, we offer Partnership Trips- volunteer travel opportunities that meld giving back with the opportunity to build lasting relationships with the communities we work in. Take a trip that gives you a taste of the kind of travel you might hope to make a part of your career. It will either confirm or refocus your desire to make it a bigger part of your life.Brooke RobertsFounder, Yoga Travel TreeYogaTravelTree thenewdorothyHow I Made Travel Part of My CareerI was actually pretty lucky to realize early on that travel and international experiences would be important factors for any career I chose. Since I studied abroad so many times during my undergraduate studies, it was a natural evolution that I decided to make international education administration my lifes work. My international experiences played a profound role in my academic and personal lives- it was only natural that I w anted to continue those experiences (and help even more people have them) part of my professional life as well. In the last year, I switched to an entirely different industry, but it was important to me to maintain that connection to international travel and experiences. Now I run my own company where we help yogis find meaningful yoga experiences all over the world.My Advice to Professionals Aspiring to TravelMy path was a little different, since I didnt leave a career to go travel the world international travel has always been a huge part of every job Ive had. However, leaving a job to start the entrepreneurial journey was definitely a big leap of faith.My advice is to sit down and make a plan. Im a numbers person, so its really helpful for me to understand how much savings I have, how much its going to cost me to live month-to-month after Ive left my job, and how I can use the skills and resources I have to earn a steady income while my company is growing.I also suggest looking a t paid opportunities abroad such as teaching. This is a great way to get to know another culture, provide a launch pad for mini trips in the region, and give you time to build up your new business while youre still earning some income.Samantha KelleyCo-founder, Atlantic ImpactAtlantic_impactHow I Made Travel Part of My CareerI was at a point in my life when I was searching for a job opportunity, when I was presented with the idea of starting an organization that makes international travel a reality for underprivileged youth. Id always had a passion for experiencing new places and cultures, and I loved the idea of allowing young people who dont have that opportunity to be able to do so.It has been a roller coaster ride for sure there have been incredibly high highs and incredibly low lows. But what got us through was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel the vision for what Atlantic Impact could be, how significant travel experiences could be for youth, and how we fit into it all .My Advice to Professionals Aspiring to TravelIgnore the naysayers. If you want to do something different from the societal norm, there will likely be people around you who dont understand and try to discourage you. Try to find a community of people who do understand and will be supportive. Thats what will get you through the tough times, when youll question whether youre taking the right path. Remember the big picture and why you decided to take this path in your life and career.

How to Create a Book Marketing and Publicity Campaign

How to Create a Book Marketing and Publicity CampaignHow to Create a Book Marketing and Publicity CampaignCreating a book marketing and publicity plan is necessary for all authors, whether your publisher is a traditional house or youre trying to self-publish. Authors who set up some personal market tactics to execute, whether standalone efforts or those in tandem with their publisher, sell mora copies. A strategic publicity and marketing campaign helps spread the word about your finished book. When youre the publisher, its obviously critical to devise your own detailed plan for your books publicity and marketing. But even when a traditional publisher is releasing your book, paying attention to publicity and marketing is critical. The book marketing department and the publicity department sometimes have dozens of other books to be concerned with, so your efforts as an author to create opportunities are important to the books success. Pre-Publication Platform The books launch is re ally important to give it sales momentum. To set up a proper launch, a year or mora before the books publication, lay the groundwork for the books publication. For example, you should Establish an online presence.At minimum, produce a website and create an author Facebook page for your book. EstablishTwitter and Instagram accounts to help get yourself out there.Set yourself up on other social media sites that apply to your book, such as Goodreads.com, Pinterest if your book is visual, etc.Try to guest blog or be interviewed on websites and podcasts that align with your books target audience. Network Publishers ask authors to utilize all their contacts with a tool called the author questionnaire, which helps gather all the resources an author brings to the marketing and publicity campaign. It could be as grand as having a media platform like a radio show, or as modest as finding a college alumni magazine willing to make an announcement about your books publication. The questionna ire will help you put on your thinking cap about your friends and family who might be useful the friend of a friend who writes for the local newspaper, or your cousin who owns a caf and might be willing to host a book launch darbietung. Publicity Planning Especially if youre doing your own marketing and publicity, find a solid newsworthy reason for the press to pay attention to you believe it or not, the fact that you published a book doesnt qualify as news to most media. Note that if book publicists work on your book, they will most likely take care of most of this but it doesnt hurt to be informed as to the process. Use an existing event as a media hook for your book.Craft a great press release for your book using your strategy.Create a list of media contacts and bloggers who might be interested.Attend major book conferences and be on panels. Promotional Materials Online promotion is most important. Book trailers can be inexpensive to produce, practically free to distr ibute, and best of all, are easy to share. People who find your book trailer, or the book it describes, appealing, may spread the word with their own networks. You never know who you might run into, so have information about your book handy a business card with your website address and social media handles, a postcard to send to friends and media outlets these can help your book get noticed. Execute Your Plan Self-published authors need to reach out to media and event venues to set up readings, book signings, or talks. You might also hire a freelance book PR pro to help you. Either way, its good to start with at least some idea of the publicity avenues available to you as an author emaille your press release to your media list follow up within a weekOrganize a book launch eventReach out to book festival organizersAlert your social media network, as well as your offline networkSet up readings and signings with local and regional bookstores Making a solid pre-publication marketi ng and publicity plan and following it through might not be as glamorous as writing a book, but they are important steps toward sharing your book with the world.

What You Need to Know About Working Abroad

What You Need to Know About Working AbroadWhat You Need to Know About Working AbroadWorking abroad is sohonigweinhing few people have the chance to experience in their careers. Over the years Ive had the opportunity to work overseas at different companies and in multiple roles.For those considering a career adventure overseas, the first things they tend to focus on are accommodations, transportation and money. After that, finding solutions related to taxes, healthcare and the big move comes next. The reality is that all of those items are probably the easiest things to manage in the transition from home country to overseas workplace. Many fail to foresee the challenges of working with different people and in different cultures.For those in the United States and Canada, the differences between the two countries are not a complete culture shock. However, the broader the adventure, the greater the cultural difference one encounters. I am often asked what it was like to work abroad. What challenges can one turn into opportunities when working overseas? Forget all the administrative items noted above. Here are the three major pieces of advice I have for any job seeker considering a career move abroad.1. Dip Your Toe. Dont Dive Right In.Taking time to understand the geschftsleben culture applies to any new job and certainly more so when it comes to working in new countries. Before you dive into a role, take the time to understand the team dynamics and performance expectations for you to be successful working with your new colleagues.A good piece of advice is to request a shadowing session before you make a final commitment. If this isnt possible, set an expectation with the new company that for the first week or so your goal will be to understand the working dynamics of the local culture. During this period you should watch and listen with a strategy in place to see how your experience and working style can be recalibrated with that of your new environment.In meeting s, listen to how teams interact with each other and try to understand the decision-making process. Explore the following as you delve into the local business cultureDetermine the Business Culture by observing how locals prefer to meet and interact. Make notes on whether or not the overall culture is laid back and relaxed or a more rigid and action-item focused.Take Note of Protocol and cultural differences even before you arrive. Some cultures have traditional ways of addressing colleagues by surname or varying gestures for greeting people by handshake or exchanging of formal business cards. Make aya you comply with these cultural distinctions.Observe and Respect Hierarchies within a team, company or community. Some cultures have very open-door policies where team members can interact equally regardless of title, gender or seniority. Others are more formal, such as when a business meeting cannot commence until the most senior attendee speaks. Understand these nuances and incorporate them into your behavior, even if they are not aligned with your past business experiences.Understand the Buy-In Expectations of the local culture for decision-making by taking note of what is needed by team members to validate ideas. If big data in formal presentations is what people bring to the meeting to discuss issues, make sure you deliver. Listen and observe how ideas are brought to the table to get buy-in from the team. Adjust your style accordingly.Continuously Adapt Your Working Style throughout your engagement to be respectful of the local culture and business. If you sense that you may have crossed a line culturally, make amends quickly and dont repeat this behavior again.The key takeaway here is to respectfully observe and listen and not enforce your style of work into the new environment. According to John Coleman and Bill George from the Harvard Business Review, it is important to resist that temptation by observing, listening, learning and understanding rather than j udging. They suggest that you use your insights to improve local ways of operating but dont rush to criticize, which is advice that works domestically and internationally.2. Park Your ProcessBut Bring Your Goals ObjectivesProcess-driven business models are great, but they dont work in all cultures. This is a major problem for people moving to new countries where the business lifestyle may be less structured. Before you try to enforce some great process that worked back home, remember to adapt yourself to the local business style and park your processes.I remember working in Greece a few years ago where many of the meetings involved a three-hour long casual discussion over coffee. The first 30 minutes were primarily geared towards relationship building and determining the degree of trust around the table. It was also highly unstructured. Business was discussed, then it was moved off the table to discuss local politics, and then put back on the table again before a casual discussion arose around soccer.Walking into such a meeting with a set agenda and a defined process would have been disastrous. What a team meeting in North America would have accomplished in 30 minutes took three hours in Greece. However, the overall goals of the meeting and final outcome were equally successful. The following week I met with a group from Munich to discuss the very same business proposal and needless to say it was a very different experience. The meeting took 20 minutes and was more of a question and answer session followed by handshakes and light discussion about the pros and cons of the newly designed Lufthansa lounge at the airport.The secret is to understand the objectives you want from the meeting and to use these as a checklist, not a road map. If you work with the flow of the local culture while mentally addressing the key topic areas- even if not in any sensible order compared to what you are accustomed to- you will be far more successful.Park the process but hang onto the meeting goals. Take the time to accommodate the local business culture needs. Dont park you goals and objectives. Realign them around the local preference for discussing them and getting buy-in or answers.3. Be Local and HumbleI remember my first project meeting in the Caribbean back in 2001. I had arrived two days earlier, reviewed all the documentation, briefly met the team at a formal cocktail reception and began firing off meeting invites that evening. The first recurring meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m. local time, and I had the boardroom reserved. I arrived 10 minutes early, set up the projector, opened the files on my laptop and waited for the invited team members to arrive. I waited 20 minutes. Then another 25 minutes. Fifty minutes after the original start time, the first team member arrived.The next morning I entered the project room and made an announcement. The days meeting was cancelled, and I wanted the team to take me liming, with all expenses covered by me. We left the offices at 5 p.m. and headed out on an eight-hour tour where we went to one team members favorite roti shop, then to a pan yard and off to hear another team members band play at a soca club. I learned the difference between tourist beer and real hardworking local-man ale, got plenty of cheers when I confidently downed some scotch-bonnet laced sauces with ease and even learned some great tips for whining like a local. One great evening and $100 later, I went to bed to be fresh and ready for our 10 a.m. team meeting the next day. I arrived to that meeting to see that everyone had arrived on time, laptops open and ready to get to work.The lesson here is that trust and respect in a local business culture are not something you gain simply by the resume you bring with you from overseas. You have to earn it. Many people travel abroad and make the mistake of thinking that they can walk into a new culture and prove themselves with their knowledge. That simply isnt the case. Showing a true interest in the local culture and people with a desire to learn goes a long way towards how successful you will be with your business objectives and goals abroad. Being humble and becoming a local will help you more than any prior business experience you bring to the table.Lastly, Balance Yourself and Your Family NeedsOne additional and final item to consider is your personal mental health and family well-being. This is equally as important and plays an important role in how you will work with others in your new environment. For those who are embarking on such an adventure for the first time, Dr. Cathy Tsang-Feigns book Living Abroad What Every Expat Needs to Know is one I definitely recommend reading before you leave.As a psychologist and expert in expatriate and cross-cultural psychology, she provides a great resource for understanding the various emotional highs and lows you may experience as you transition into your new home abroad. Depending on the length of your assignm ent, you will need to adapt to the realities of the local culture and understand the pressures on yourself and your family. This book is probably one of the best resources to help you through this.So before you pack your bags, remember flexibility and an open and healthy mind are important. Adapt to the local culture while keeping your business sensibilities in check. After all, the outcome is what is important, and the road to get there can be an adventure. Dont miss out on the journey.

What if youre in a field that you cant quantify?To which Id say there is no field t hat you cant quantify.If youre in an industry that focuses on subjective outcomes such as hospitality, or fashion, or the arts, youll focus on the numerical results that your subjective efforts generated.Similarly, if youre in a field that is extraordinarily process- or technically-driven, where your accomplishments are difficult for non-experts to understand, you focus on the outcome for your clients, bosses and colleagues.Always bring it back to numbers of customers acquired % user satisfaction increased hours of time saved $ that your efforts brought in, saved, optimized, cut, or increased of users increased, handled, or hostedSo that your awesome new fault-tolerant architecture is described in terms of the benefits it brought to the company, users, or your colleagues.Or your fancy and clever marketing ideas are conveyed with number of awards won, percentage changes in target market survey responses, or volume of articles written about them.And your leadership of the catering division of a major hotel group is quantified with customers served, celebrities photographed at your events, and dollars of revenue generated.When you think about it, every new job hired at a company is hired for a reason - the company hopes this position will improve its value by improving its operations. So be specific and explicit about how youve helped a company improve its operations in the past.And the second most common question was in response to this advice for your Professional SummaryJob titles list 3 to 5 job titles of jobs you would actually accept as your next job. It does not matter that you have never actually had this job title in the past, but it is important that it is a plausible next step in your professional career.One member wrote Not sure how I can write a target role in the resume which I dont have currently and many wondered how this could be the case.Well, a resume is a marketing document. It is not, strictly speaking, a log or listing or cataloging of y our past career milestones.And while you cant and shouldnt change the names of your past titles at past companies, the professional summary does allow you some flexibility in describing what youre looking for in summary format.So if youre a QA Manager of some experience looking for a QA Director role, its appropriate to include that as a target title.Or if youre a Sr. Director Marketing, looking to move up to VP, Marketing.Or an SVP Operations looking to be COO.Positioning your resume to be for the job youre going for rather than the one you had is helpful to your getting hired.And in the case that you get an old-school stickler asking why is this VP, Marketing title on here in your professional summary when youve never held that exact title in an organization?The appropriate and true response is my career is about progression and moving up, and I wouldnt be entertaining talks with your company if that wasnt the case. The next logical step in my job search is VP Marketing, and thats why its communicated on the resume summary as my target title.Because, after all, if you wanted to keep the same title, you could just stay in the job youre in now, right?Well, Readers, thats how you can help yourself get hired this Labor Day. I hope you find the suggestions usefulIm rooting for youHiredThousands of your fellow subscribers have found their new jobs this past year on LaddersThe number of HR people using Ladders grew 44% in the past year, and interviewing and hiring activity is the highest it has been in our history.Why?

Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues

Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues ASME President Marc W. Goldsmith welches one of a dozen engineering and science thought leaders from industry, academia and the global development space who gathered in New York last week to discuss the challenges facing engineering education and the engineering profession during the inaugural installment of the ASME Decision Point Dialogues series.Will Engineers Be True Global schwierigkeit Solvers? was the theme of the spirited discussion, which took place April 17 at the State University of New Yorks Global Center. The program was conceived and organized by the Workforce Strategy Execution team in partnership with the Engineering for Global Development group and with participation from ASMEs various departments.Moderated by Robert J. Jackson, Jr., associate professor and Milton Handler Fellow at Columbia Law School, the evening w as structured as a Socratic dialogue, a format in which a small group of experts led by a facilitator try to find clear-cut answers to questions that dont have simple solutions. The evenings discussion revolved around a mock scenario involving a female middle-school student pursuing an engineering career in the U.S., a boy in Zambia intent on fixing his villages water pump, and a middle-school teacher considering leaving education for mora lucrative opportunities. (From left) ASME President Marc Goldsmith, Florence Hudson of IBM, Ron Hira from Rochester Institute of Technology, and Joseph Sussman of ABET were among the thought leaders who participated in the ASME Decision Point Dialogues panel discussion in New York on April 17. Addressing the subject of the teacher reaching that crossroads in his career, ASME President Goldsmith emphasized the crucial role these educators play in steering young people toward engineering and other STEM professions.Middle-school teach ers are absolute critical players in influencing young kids toward their careers, Goldsmith said. And we want to keep those with a passion for teaching math and science and engineering and technology in those positions. Those passionate teachers are critical, and theres a shortage of them. They need to be celebrated. For its part, ASME has created recognition programs for teachers - such as the DiscoverE Educator Award program that was launched last year - to do just that.Javaris Powell, a teacher and administrator at Friendship Public Charter School and one of the inaugural DiscoverE Educator Award recipients, added that the emphasis on improving standardized test scores has many middle schools radically reducing the amount of science in their curricula.A crisis does exist, Powell said. If you look at our student scores on placement tests with math and science, they have been plummeting over the past 25 years. Regarding standardized tests, Powell noted that science is not assesse d. So the major focus becomes reading and mathematics. So if reading and mathematics are being emphasized, some schools are actually feeling pressure to make sure they increase their standardized test scores by sacrificing instruction in science. ASME Board of Governors member Richard Benson (left), dean of engineering at Virginia Tech, and Engineers Without Borders-USA founder Bernard Amadei, were also among the panelists. By the end of the two-hour event, the discussion had covered a variety of issues including keeping university engineering programs up-to-date with the demands of the profession, the problems associated with maintaining water pumps and systems in developing countries, the outsourcing of engineering and IT jobs outside the United States, and efforts to increase the number of women in the engineering workforce.The vision for the Decision Point Dialogues series goes well beyond our event in New York City. In fact, the event was only the starting point . The Socratic dialogues program is one element in a movement supporting ASME thought leadership initiatives, said John Falcioni, editor-in-chief of Mechanical Engineering magazine. Falcioni, along with Noha El-Ghobashy, director of ASMEs Engineering for Global Development enterprise, convened the event.While the first dialogue was envisioned to touch on a broad range of conflict points, Falcioni added that ASME will continue these discussions of difficult issues in subsequent Decision Point Dialogue events and also through online communities that are being developed on ASME.org. ASME is a catalyst, Falcioni said. It is a rightful convener of critical conversations that impact not only engineering workforce development but numerous other areas - including the global economy, global development, and healthcare to name only a few. The mission of ASME is to help improve the lives of people globally. The impact of this program will ultimately be measured by how it supports that goal.I n addition to Goldsmith and Powell, the panel at the New York event also included Bernard Amadei, founder of Engineers Without Borders-USA ASME Board of Governors member Richard Benson, dean of engineering at Virginia Tech Liza Billings, engineering student and consultant at Grant Engineering Daniel Ingnacio Garcia, founder, Emergent Engineers Ron Hira, associate professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology Florence Hudson, corporate strategy executive at IBM Emeka Okafor, curator for Maker Faire Africa Andrew Reynolds, senior advisor for the Department of States Office of Space and Advanced Technologies Joseph Sussman, managing director and chief information officer for ABET and Jessica Townsend, associate dean for curriculum and academic programs at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.The ASME Decision Point Dialogues program, Will Engineers Be True Global Problem Solvers? will air online - on ASME.org - in June.

Reasons Not to Quit Your Job

Reasons bedrngnis to Quit Your JobReasons Not to Quit Your JobThere are many good reasons to quit your job. There are also times when it makes sense to keep it, even if its not on a long-term basis. If you can leave your current position on your terms, when youre ready, the transition to new employment will be much smoother. Waiting also gives you the opportunity to think it through to be sure that the decision youre making to resign is the right one. Sometimes, quitting isnt the best thing to do. It can cost you money, and even make it harder to get hired if you dont have another job lined up. Or, the timing may not be right. Before you say I quit review these reasons why you may not want to resign right away. Also, determine if theres any way you could change things up and learn to love your job. Here are 8 reasons not to resign from your job (yet) Youre Angry Youve had a terrible day at work, youre mad at the boss, and nothing is going right. Quitting may seem like the best so lution, but decisions made in haste arent always the best ones. Go home, calm down, think it through, and wait at least 24 hours to be sure you really want to quit right now. Consider if there is anything that could be done to fix the situation and make staying a viable option. Are there things that you or the company could do to resolve the problem? You Hate Your Job Hating your job is a legitimate reason for quitting, but is there a way to make your role more palatable or are there other positions at the company that could be a better fit? If you like your company, your manager, and your co-workers, maybe staying in a different position is an option. You Need a Break Have you been working almost around the clock without a vacation or any time off? If youre burned out from doing too much, taking some time away from the office could be a quick fix. A vacation, even a short one, can give you clarity and will help you decide what the next phase of your career should be. You Cant Afford to Quit Do you have enough money in the bank to fund a job search without a paycheck coming in? Finding a new job isnt always as quick or as easy as you might think. Even if you have a strong skill set and work in an in-demand career field, the interview process can be lengthy, and you will need to replace your schwefellost earnings until you start a new position. You Need the Benefits If you have a decent benefits package, its important to know what will happen to your employee benefits after you leave your job. You dont want to raise red flags with your boss or human resources department by asking too many questions about what happens after you terminate employment, but the information may be available online or in your employee handbook. Carefully review your options for continuing coverage, and for what happens to the benefits you currently have in place when you leave. Youll Be Considered a Job Hopper In todays job market, job hopping isnt necessarily a ba d thing. Many companies hire contract workers and short-term employees, and there are ways to tweak your resume to mitigate the impact. However, you will still need to be prepared to answer interview questions about why you left your job, especially if you have had a lot of them. You Dont Have a Departure Plan in Place Quitting without a plan in place can be scary because there are too many unknowns. You dont know how long it will take to get hired, you may spend down your bank account faster than expected, and you dont know where youre going to find your next job. Its better to explore the job market, to know which jobs youre qualified for, how much you can expect to earn, and which organizations are hiring, in advance. A smooth departure plan will ensure a successful transition to new employment. You Dont Have a New Job Waiting Of course, making the decision to quit when you have a new job to go to is easy. If you dont, and the circumstances at work arent so ?difficult tha t you cant stay, it makes more sense to start a careful and confidential job search while youre still employed. Its easy to job search online from your phone, as well as on a computer, many employers ?conduct phone interviews, and you can juggle taking time off from work for in-person interviews. Fast track your job search to get hired quickly, then turn in your notice. When Youre Not Sure About Quitting What should you do if you want to quit, but arent sure if you should? The best way to start the decision-making process is to make a list of the pros and cons of your current job, including job responsibilities, salary, benefits, schedule, opportunities for growth, company culture, and what ?your career path looks like with your present employer. If you have another job offer, ?compare your current compensation package with the one offered by the new company. When your decision is to stay, these ?tips will help you keep your job, and even be happy that you did. When Youre Rea dy to Quit Once you have decided to resign, its important to leave your job as gracefully as possible. Heres what to do before you quit, how to tell your boss that youre quitting, and ?examples of resignation letters to formalize your departure.
