I Quit My Job.. Now What!

So, you quit your job and don't know what to do next. The situation can be fixed  somewhat. On my other blog, I wrote a post that detailed what to do and say (correspondence). I will give you the short version.

1. Write a letter of resignation. Send it in the mail after you quit. They still will put it in your file.
2. List a good reason for quitting. Think of a respectable answer, be creative.

Working and Having an Illness

It can be difficult to work while having a chronic conditions. Ailments such as arthritis and migraines can make it difficult to stay employed. I wrote here about how to work while having an illness. Below I will list a few points made on the other blog. For  more details, view the entire article here.

Know Your Limits

• Find out what you can do by yourself and with help
• Think if medications help you do more

Get Out the Box

• Ditch the standard 9 -5 gig
• Find jobs that work for you
• Consider part time or seasonal work

Make Your Resume Better

Improving your resume can help with attracting more interviews and obtaining a better job. On my other blog, I wrote an article about different ways to make your resume better. I give examples on that post, but here I will give you a few of the steps. This is the quick and dirty option, for more tips and explanations check the original post.

1. Make a different resume for each career title. List the skills and attributes that the employer is looking for.
2. Use past reviews to find out what you are good at. Look at what previous supervisors praised you on, and use that.

3. Update your resume and use spell check. An outdated work history won’t help you and errors in  spelling look unprofessional.
4. Try a thesaurus to find synonyms and add variety to words on your resume. Buy it at a dollar store or apply the feature on word processing software.
