It's not even the end of the year yet, so why are we already talking about changing jobs at year-end? The editor can only say that success comes to those who are prepared. If you have plans in mind to change jobs at the end of the year, then starting now to look for new jobs, update your resume, go to interviews, submit your resignation, hand over your work... after all this fuss, it will take at least a month. Of course, those who plan to quit without a new job lined up and leave immediately are not included. So, those who are itching to make a move have already been thinking about this question long ago. Before starting the main topic, the editor must responsibly ask: Don't you want your year-end double pay? Don't you want your annual bonus?

Many people choose to stay put until after the Spring Festival, leaving only once the holiday benefits and year-end bonus are in hand. However, according to past survey data, the end of each year is a minor peak for job-hopping. Generally, changing jobs at the end of the year may be for these reasons: first, you are disappointed with your current company and choose a company with prospects; second, you are dissatisfied with your current salary and want better pay and benefits; third, interpersonal relationships are tense and you want a change of environment; fourth, you pursue stimulation and challenge in work and once you feel bored with your job you want to "seek change", etc.

Different people have their own "job-hopping stories." Some have never moved from their nest after several years; some have lost their direction amid a pile of trivial matters day after day; others sigh looking at the "ceiling" of promotion. Each has their own reasons. But job-hopping is not a "cure-all", and quite a few people get worse with each jump. So, once you have the intention to "jump", you need to calmly analyze your own situation and the current situation.

Why do you want to leave? Is it because your supervisor doesn't give you support, or the team you are in doesn't let you use your strengths, or because you lack job satisfaction or cannot bear a suffocating work schedule, or do you want to advance further in your career or have a higher income? Wanting to change jobs must mean that the old company has something that makes you unhappy, but we cannot stay at the surface of emotions; it is more important to know exactly why you are unhappy.

If there is no other way to change this situation except changing jobs, then go ahead and jump boldly! But remember, blindly changing jobs will not help your career much. The following action points are what you should carefully consider.

POINT1 Focus on "Key Companies"

Since you have decided to change jobs and know what you need, the next step is to analyze which companies can meet your career needs. When more than one company's recruitment opportunity is placed before you, remember to lock onto the company you most want to enter, and make a basic judgment on whether this company has the opportunity you need.

POINT2 Do not fight an unprepared battle

Next, you are going to fight a tough battle, and this company is your target. Carefully understand this company's situation, including its strategy, products, competitors, and organizational structure. In addition, you should carefully analyze how your abilities will be brought into play in this company, including how to make the other side accept you.

POINT3 Calculate the cost of changing jobs

Carefully calculating the cost of changing jobs is also a top priority. For example, how many benefits will you lose by resigning? A new job may mean new expenses in housing and transportation! If you have children, you also need to consider whether it will affect their schooling.

POINT4 The interview stuff

This article will not go into details about interview skills. The focus is on showing that you will create huge value for the new employer, and privately learning the salary market for this position. Everyone wants to "sell" themselves at a good price! Otherwise, why change jobs?

POINT5 Get a formal Offer

When the "good thing" is basically confirmed, you still need to confirm two things: first, the written offer given to you by the other party. If you feel that the written invitation is different from your understanding, you can clarify it with them; if there is no problem, then sign to confirm. Second, prepare to say ByeBye to your old company and hand in your resignation report.

First month countdown

Parting amicably with your old company is the homework you need to do this month. Job-hopping also values a good parting, because people may always meet again. You should seize this opportunity to show your professional standards. Even on the last day before leaving, you must complete every task within your duty. When handing over work, be serious and responsible, keep records and files, so that people at the old company recognize your professional conduct.

Make good use of the last time to play a few more rounds of PR. For example, have a relaxed dinner with your boss and colleagues, say goodbye to everyone, and express your attachment to them.

Tips

Changing jobs also requires adaptation. You will meet new colleagues, new supervisors, and a new working environment, learn new skills, and take on new responsibilities. Of course, there may also be a higher salary. But remember, everything has two sides. You will lose the friendships and comfortable daily work habits you built in the old company, and you must start over, build a new network, and adapt to a new work structure. You should be mentally prepared for these in advance.
