Transitioning

Being in between jobs can be a difficult position. The air is filled with uncertainty, and one is not sure what to expect. However, as challenging as such a predicament can be, try to minimize your stress. Leaving a familiar place and stepping into the unknown is frightening. It is important that you are still able to maintain a sense or order and control.

Make sure to confirm with your old employer on issues such as benefits, health insurance, or unused vacation pay, so you are knowledgeable of where you stand and not left in the dark. Next, outline a budget which allows for a comfortable living standard during the waiting period. By having control of the basics, you will be able to reduce your anxiety, which is important to a successful job search.

List out your goals and priorities, personally and professionally. Figure out what you hope to gain from a new job. This transition period is a good opportunity for you to reevaluate your direction. Make your preferences specific. What kind of work environment are your looking for? How much time would you like to put into a new job?

It is important to know the market within which you are competing. Research the standards so that you are able to assess job openings and have a grasp on what typical salaries are.

Lastly, a little self-reflection is always good. What are you most proud of and what would you like to improve?
