Before you quit, ask yourself these questions!
Sometimes dismissal is the only way to restore the nervous system, self-respect and hope that someday in the future you will have a decent salary. Perhaps the circumstances were that you decided to pause and devote yourself to home and family for some time. Perhaps you are sure that you will find yourself a more worthy place. You can have very good reasons to say "for now" to your bosses and colleagues. But before you write a statement "on your own", ask yourself these questions!
Question 1
"Can I afford it?"
You can not surely know if you can quickly find another job, so the question of what you will live on until it happens is not an idle one. Ideally, your savings should be enough for 6 months of modest life. So consult consultants on personal finance. Also, you should analyze your credit status. If you have debts, will you be able to pay them? Maybe there is an opportunity to agree on a deferred payment?
Question 2
"What am I willing to refuse?"
In order to save money, you will have to drastically reduce your expenses. Perhaps, from some things you are not ready to refuse, so reconsider your expenses and honestly admit to yourself, what you can relatively easily refuse to yourself. This may be a refusal to purchase a new coat, saving on summer vacation or a temporary restriction on visiting restaurants and movies. Maybe the temporary unemployed status will help you finally quit smoking?
Question 3
"How do I explain the break in my resume?"
As a rule, employers are wary of applicants, whose summaries are that they have not worked anywhere for six months or a year. You need to think that you will answer their questions. Perhaps at this time you are planning to take single orders or work freelancing with a small load? If you do not even think about even a small workload, future employers can be explained by simple family circumstances.
Question 4
"How will I develop at this time?"
Even if you are going to immerse yourself in the household management, do not forget about self-development! In the period when you are unemployed, you can try to study a new business for yourself or deepen your knowledge in the profession. Make an approximate plan: what you need to read, what courses or seminars to go, with which experts to communicate.
Question 5
"Is it possible to leave?"
If the reason for your dismissal is not that you do not want to work in this company, but in elementary fatigue and nervous exhaustion, talk with your management. Perhaps there is a chance to take a long-term unpaid leave? In this case, you will be sure that the workplace will be retained for you, and after a couple of months you will again go to work.
