Good! You must have taken good decision to move to a job. I would like to know whether you have done some analysis for the same or not.\nYou should have clear answers as under:\n•Why you want to change?\n•What are your goals in changing the job – financial – social – physical – mental etc.\n•What you want in you life?\n•Will you be able to get what you want from the new job you would be planning to?\n•How many years and resources you would require achieving your goals?\n\nIf you answer all these questions genuinely, you will have clarity on your decision. I will be happy to help you more on to this, if you wish: heneel_soni@yahoo.co.in

1.  Be absolutely certain you have a solid job offer, in writing, before you give notice.\n2.  Prepare a list of your current projects that will need to be handed off to someone else.  Also list things you can complete before you want to leave.\n3.  Stealthily remove every personal possession from your workplace that you couldn't live without.  Completely erase any personal email or files from your computer -- don't just put them in the "recycle" bin.\n4.  Ask your boss for a meeting, give him a written resignation letter, saying only that you're leaving the company to advance your career.  NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say anything negative to him about the job, the company, or any co-workers.  \n5.  Propose a date (at least 2 weeks) for your final day, but be prepared to be walked to the door.  Be polite and positive no matter what sort of shit he gives you.\n6.  If asked to participate in an exit interview, answer with vague generalities and no specific complaints.\n7.  Thank him for being such a good boss.\n\nOne day you'll want to use him as a reference, or that company.  Imagine what they'd say about you -- and a little self-control can do wonders.  Making a scene, saying you hate him or the job, or dumping on co-workers will come back to haunt you.

You'll probably need to change your entire surroundings.  The big three, you know?  Work, Girlfriend/Boyfriend, and Living Situation.  That way you can focus on adopting a new situation.

You definitely do not want to burn any bridges. Diplomacy is the key, regardless of how you feel about the job. Do not allow your emotions to surface (at home of course you can break a few plates). Keep searching for a job after regular business hours and do not leave any option unexplored. When the right opportunity knocks, follow the company policies, and most importanly follow up with most influential people at your old company from time to time. Never complain or raise issues since you never know when they will come to haunt you. Best of luck

Not sure of the situation as you did not elaborate but here are some questions you can ask yourself:  \n- What is your propensity for managing people and difficult situations?  \n- Are you ready for added responsibilities and burdens on your time?  \n- Do you feel you're up to a challenge in the workplace given the rest of thing things going on in your life right now?   \n- Do you have the support of your superiors, family and friends?\n- Does the increase in pay outweigh your doubts about not taking the position?\n\nDo what feels right for you and think it through.  Talk the pros and cons over with someone you trust.\n\nGood luck!

I'll assume quiting is not an immediate option.  Otherwise you would have probably done that already.  So, I would suggest you use any down time you have to work on "your plan".  Your plan for getting the job you would most enjoy.  The plan will no doubt include financial goals, education goals, and maybe relocation goals.  \n\nThen set a time-table for yourself.  And maybe some milestones at which point you would reward yourself with something special.  Then, everyday concentrate on how well you are doing against your plan.  \n\nBefore you know it, you will have completed your plan and heading to a new situation.\n\nBest of luck.

The first thing is DO NOT go in and try to act like you are better than the others, (Not saying that you would) You never know how these people are going to react to you, as you were hired outside of the company.  Make an effort to personally go up to each person and introduce yourself and try to make them feel comfortable with you.  \n\nI have been in management, and one fatal mistake is trying to be "friends" with the employees.  Of course you want to be friendly, but not to friendly as to where they will consider you more a friend then a boss. I would also ask the others to give you feed back as to how you are doing.  Make sure that the others know that they can approach you and talk to you.  Best of luck in your new job!!

1) if you are going to leave do not leave without having another job lined up. Nothing worse then being unemployed in a horrible job market. \n\n2) If you have a better job lined up, ask your boss about the raise and the promises at a convenient but not in public time. Do not cause a big scene and storm out or anything silly like that, as you probably  know. You never know who you might need a reference from in the future, or for that matter may be asking for a job from 5-10 years down the road.

It is proper to give you former employer a two week notice that you are leaving.  That means in order to start at the new job on June 12th, you must give your current employer notice today (Friday 5/26/06.)\n\nI think it sounds okay, the new boss is probably just a bit anxious to get you started.  Basically, you are his new purchase & he wants to show your stuff.  A quick phone call to the new boss explaining that you want to give ample time to your current employer will show your integrity and loyalty to a job.  I think the new boss will understand.  If he doesn't understand then he is someone you don't want to work for or with.  I would not say anything to your current job UNTIL you talk to the new boss.  If the new boss doesn't return your phone call today, then keep pushing the 2 weeks from the date you speak to the new boss.\n\nIt is always a bit scary when making a change.  Just trust your instincts, pray you are making correct decisions & don't burn any bridges, especially in the workforce.  Word gets around fast and if you burn a bridge you could get a bad reputation.  Employers in the same field get to know each other & talk.  \n\nPlus keep in mind that you do have a signed piece of paper stating the new job offer.  Save that paper, God forbid anything would happen, you can use it in your defense.

be professional, give two weeks notice and tell them you have to move on for professional reasons, like moving or school or change in field....The most important thing is to not burn  your bridges, if you were a good employee.. you will stand out even for leaving , in the mind of the employer leaving you with a good and reliable character reference for future endeavors.

Here are some sites to get you started.  There are so many great sites that I have sometimes spent hours just browsing.  Enjoy, and best of luck with your new job.

Make sure you are available the hours they need waitresses, or store clerks.  Plus, your attitude has be totally customer service oriented. Employers are more concerned with how reliable you are than why you left your old job. Also, don't expect to be scheduled full time.  You may be asked to stay over, and work longer than your shift time, but you will probably be scheduled less than 40 hours a week.

The only way that I would consider switching jobs for the same pay would be if there were other perks involved? Are the benefits better?Are the hours better? Is it closer to home? If you're just leaving one gig for the same gig then you have to be leaving to better your situation somehow otherwise, it's point less. May as well just stay where you are. Plus, you have more experience than you did when you started so where ever you go next, you should demand more $ because of what you will be bringing to the company.

I would tell him thanks to all of his great training and supervisory skills you feel ready to take a step up in the company....it is a step up, right?  Just let him know that you appreciated everything he has taught you and that you can't wait to sing his praises in another department....and make sure that is all that you do.  \n\nQuite honestly, if you have told ANYONE at work about this move.....he already knows.   Make sure you are available to help train or support the person who takes your place.....and once again DO NOT say anything negative about the boss to the new person.  That stuff travels faster then hot lava.\n\nGood luck in your new job!

Hopefully the Company will offer a 'house hunting/look over the city' trip for you and your husband.  Go to the chamber of commerce site for that city or the closest major city.  Check crime rate, schools and cost of living comparisons.  When you do relocate (if you presently own you home) rent for at least 6 months. Hopefully the new company will pay closing costs on the new house, or some moving allowance, in addition to the cost of the movers. Look at the move as an adventure.  Think of all the new friends you will make and all of the new things you can do in that state.
