hi it's Linda Rainer so if you've been
thinking about putting your job or you
currently are thinking about it and yet
you haven't pulled the trigger then
today I want to help you through that
thought process because I know that
quitting your job is not something that
should be taken lightly trust me when I
say I know what it feels like to want to
quit your job I know how sometimes so
desperate you are to get out of where
you're at that you would be willing to
say right then and there to your boss
list and I just want to give my notice I
know what that feels like I know from
firsthand experience but on top of that
I also know because this is what I do I
deal with a lot of people who want to
quit their jobs and what I find is that
not a lot of people think it through the
way that they should
quitting your job is a big deal because
what can happen to a lot of people is
they end up following the idea that they
should just quit and they take a job
that's similar to what they had and then
they end up being unhappy again and then
they repeat that process they quit again
and they take another job and those
people I call jumpers
you know they jump young frog from
trying to grab a job as much as in
today's day and age people don't stay at
companies for 10 years at a time or for
the rest of their lives at the same time
if you're leaving your job on like a
yearly basis it says something on your
resume it said something about your
character and unfortunately it's not
very positive it says that this person
doesn't know what they really want this
person doesn't think through their
decisions as to where they work you can
say a lot of things and of course of
course there are exceptions doesn't
necessarily apply to everybody but if
you consciously quit a job and you take
another job and then you consciously
quit that after a year and you take
another job and you consciously quit
that that does say something about your
character that's why the idea of
quitting your job should not be taken
lightly because it does impact your
future career so I want to help you
through this thought process so if
you're thinking about quitting your job
and you're telling yourself you want to
leave then you
have to ask yourself one major question
and that is why do I want to quit why do
I want to leave why do I want to get the
hell out of here so badly and generally
your answer is going to fall into one of
two buckets so the first bucket could be
I want to quit my job because the work
is too stressful
the hours are horrible my boss is
annoying my coworkers are annoying I'm
getting super frustrated I'm not being
challenged enough and I don't know I
just don't feel like it it fits for me
anymore so that could be bucket a or
your answer could be in bucket be from
bucket B which is I'm quitting my job
because I know exactly what it is that
I'm ready to do I've learned a lot from
this role and I'm now ready to take on a
new challenge a new opportunity and a
new opportunity has presented itself to
me or I'm going to create my own new
opportunity and this is something that
I'm going after and really become more
of the best version of myself do you see
the difference bucket a is all about
negative kind of feelings frustration
stress negativity unhappiness and then
bucket B is all about excitement about
the future and planning and visioning
and knowing what it is that you're
really going after so if I really asked
you right now why do you want to quit
your job would you be able to tell me
what the reasons are I mean if I just
gave you you know bucket and bucket B
and you have to pick where would you
where would you pick your answer from
the thing is is if you only rely on the
negative reasons as to why you want to
leave your job then it equates it to
running away you're really just running
away from pain you're running away from
a bad boss you're running away from
frustration if you run you're going to
end up running into the arms of the same
type of situation the thing about being
in a job that you don't that you're no
longer enjoying you have to look at
what's the lesson underneath this what
is there for me to learn about myself
then what you would do is you'd move
over to bucket B if this is what I don't
want then what do I want and then you
start building that you start thinking
okay what
of opportunities would I want in terms
of what would make me feel most
challenged and what would make me feel
happier and what would make me be the
best version of myself and that could be
just taking another job that is lately
different role from what you had so it's
something new and that's something
different it might be a little bit more
challenging or it could be you know if
you hate working for someone else then
it's to start your own business but you
have to think that all through before
you quit because honestly what I've seen
when I was a recruiter and what I see
now as a career coach if people are job
hopping what ends up happening is you
feel relief after you've quit you feel
so happy you're like yeah I'm out of
there and then because you didn't have a
plan and you didn't really ask yourself
the hard questions before you left and
before when you have money coming in and
now you have no money coming in people
start to panic and then they start
looking for anything they start looking
for any job that they can get and nine
times out of ten they end up with a job
that was identical to the job that they
had before but on that note staying at a
job that you don't enjoy is also not
healthy because you're stagnating you're
unhappy you know you're simply doing it
for the paycheck there is something else
out there for you but you have to start
thinking about what that next thing is
going to be so I hope that was helpful
