Why People Resign

So you’ve decided to quit your job, huh? Here’s a list of the most common reasons why people resign, and also good points to consider after filing your resignation letter and before finding a new job.

Location. How far is your workplace from your home? Most people tend to forget this very important factor, probably because they pay too much attention to how much salary they will be getting. Salary is vital too, but have you considered the travel time involved in your current/ future job? Make sure that your new job doesn’t entail a workplace which is farther than from where you reside.

Career Growth. One of the reasons why people resign too is because of the lack of a sense of fulfillment from their current jobs, especially if they don’t see themselves growing with the company. If this is your reason why you quit your current job, choose your next job carefully and make sure you are headed for a better career path.

Salary. A common mistake among new-hired employees or fresh graduates is finding a job with a high salary; only to realize that work experience is really what matters. Your value as an employee will eventually increase, depending on your skills and capabilities, of course.

Workplace friends. Believe it or not, friends in the office can be a very important on resigning too. These are the people whom you see everyday, and share a lot of stuff too. If you don’t jive with your officemates well and social skills are important to you, then this might cause you to resign.
