Handing in your notice in recruitment

For a whole host of reasons, you’ve decided to have an early night and not go to the pub.

You’re a bit nervous to tell your mates, so you do it in a ‘wishy washy’ way.

They spot signs of weakness and lay everything on you to persuade you otherwise, all the emotional cards come out, ‘come on, don’t let us down’ etc!

You end up going to the pub then regretting it the next day for all the important reasons you had decided not to go out that night!

This analogy is what it can be like when a Recruitment Consultant hands in their notice.

Moral of the story, if you’ve decided to leave your recruitment job, hand your notice in firmly!

If you’ve made a decision that you believe is best for you and your family, then you are not letting anyone down.

If you didn’t make the right decision for you, you are only letting yourself down.

Leaving a recruitment position does not make you disloyal.

It does not have to be negative when the journey of an employer and employee comes to an end.

This reminds me of the great quote:

‘What if we invest in them and they leave, what if we don’t invest in them and they stay’.
