5 Step Process To Quit Your Job
Sunday Aug 28, 2022
Sunday Aug 28, 2022
5 step process to leave a job you hate.
Received a question on TIkTok from:
A Data analyst with 5 months left with their current job, which they do not enjoy. They wanted to know what to do.
In this video I provide a 5 stage process on how to quit your job.
One of the first signs you should quit your job is if you hate it/don't like it - but it's not wise to just do it.
You need to time and plan when to leave a job.
The 5 steps mentioned in the video:
1. Take pressure off - you do not have to have things figured out.
2. Save - have savings for when you no longer have a job so you're not worried about income
3. Find another income source. You might not like the job, but it doesn't matter. You don't want the pressure of needing an income when you're building something.
4. Why you should use social media - it's your ticket out of a job you hate.
5. General ideas on what to build on social media for this specific individual - lessons which can be applied to anyone.
What do you think?
