Mending Fences or What To Do After You Quit Your Job

There are times when after staying at a job you hate; you can not take any more and quit. It would be nice to write a letter of resignation, but sometimes that does not happen. Giving the Personnel Department a letter a week in advance looks better than nothing. There are steps that can be done when you quit without giving notice.

A To Do List After Quitting Your Job

• Better Late Than Never. If you have already quit (not coming in) then go ahead and send a  resignation letter to the company anyway. Use a believable good reason for leaving not that the supervisor is stupid or the job is meaningless. This step is good for large companies, because the Human Resources department is behind on status anyway.
• Good Reasons. Credible reasons for quitting a job, looks good when asking why you left work. Examples of statements: Health (can mean mental, physical whatever), Family Obligations (kids, daycare problems, baby mama drama), education Obligations (school, training, etc), Responsibilities Conflict (this can be used at your discretion; most people will not ask what the conflict was about).
• Fake it. Be nice about leaving, even if you hate the job. It looks a lot better when you leave sweet better than sour.

Working and Medical Conditions

Finding a way to work while having an illness can be difficult. The worker needs to change the way they think about work. In this article, I discuss in detail how to work with a chronic but not disabling condition. This post will have the short version.

Know Your Limits

• Admit what can be done with and with out help
• Will pain or other medicine make you more productive?
• Can you do more if seated or with frequent breaks?

View Possibilities

• Ditch the 9 to 5 work route
• Consider part-time or consultant work
• Think temporary or seasonal work
