'Everyone has only 24 hours in a day, thus maximizing our time is crucial. Shark Hung, Vice Chairman of Cenland's Board of Directors, once shared:
'So far, I've switched jobs at dozens of companies, including short stints at Ford and Toyota, with only a few lasting longer. My advice to you is if the job feels uncomfortable or unsuitable, leave immediately for something else, or quit even without another job lined up. Clinging on only wastes our time.'
Indeed, there are countless reasons to resign, but convincing your superior requires tactful communication and valid, reasonable arguments. Here, Mytour compiles the top 10 most persuasive reasons for resignation to consider.
1. Lack of Career Advancement Opportunities: As a fresh graduate, you aspire to find a high-paying job with opportunities for career progression. You expect promotions and job flexibility to avoid monotony. However, reality falls short of your expectations when the company fails to recognize your talent, prompting you to seek employment elsewhere.
2. Relocating Abroad: There are various reasons why someone might relocate abroad while working for a certain company. Perhaps your family is moving overseas, or you've received an enticing job offer from a foreign company with significant career development prospects that you can't turn down.
3. Personal Reasons: Illness. For instance, you might be suffering from severe stress, migraines, or other conditions requiring timely medical attention. Frequent doctor's appointments or regular check-ups often lead to missed workdays, significantly affecting company operations. This is a highly reasonable justification.
4. Misfit with Job Role: Perhaps your current job consumes a lot of your time without yielding productive results. This affects project timelines and company tasks. You feel inadequate for the role and realize it doesn't bring tangible profits. If you cite this reason, your boss will likely agree as it concerns the company's interests.
5. Entrepreneurial Pursuits: For instance, embarking on your own business venture such as opening a café, electronic, or computer repair business, and you need to focus on this endeavor. With this practical reason, no boss of yours would dare to refuse.
6. Life Changes: Perhaps you've gotten married or had children, and your current salary isn't sufficient to support your family life. You need to transition to better job opportunities to sustain your family's livelihood.
7. Returning to Education: To acquire knowledge and potentially secure a higher desired salary than your current one.
8. Poor Relationship with Colleagues: You work in a team environment but have a strained relationship with someone in the company, leading to frequent conflicts and tensions, making your workdays stressful, exhausting, and diminishing your morale. This could be a quite reasonable reason for you to resign from the company if the conflict issue remains unresolved.
Moving to a new city necessitates leaving your current position due to impractical commuting distances.
Securing a job that offers better career progression, stable income, and improved benefits is a prime reason for resignation.
Leaving a job can stem from both positive and negative reasons. Ensure a thorough contemplation to avoid regrets post-decision.
Transitioning to a new role often involves explaining your departure reasons to both your current and future employers, aiming for a smooth and understandable transition.
