Not everyone quits a job with a plan in mind. People either do so because they are frustrated at work or are trying to figure out a direction they want their career to take. It is important that you resist the temptation to jump to the next job that comes your way. Following things can be done when you quit job without a backup plan:
Review Your Finances
The first thing to do when you quit without a backup plan is to review your finances. Do not use up all your savings. It is essential that you have enough savings to cover at least three to six months’ expenses while ensuring there’s more to fall back on if an emergency arises.
Friend Network
More often than not, most established companies have an employee referral programme and it’s good to check back with your friends to see if they know of any job openings in their intranet.
Try College Placement Cells
HR heads say they often get resumes of alumni of a particular college whenever they’re looking to hire employees. This way, they can hire an employee who is out of a job when they can’t afford to wait any more for them to come on board.
Use Time Well
Use the time gap between jobs fruitfully. Research your dream job or company, network, finish the book you always wanted to read, reconnect with your hobbies. Sitting idle breeds negativity
Add to Skills
Enroll in a course or activity during your employment. This will keep you occupied and also help you gain a skill that will add value to your CV when you apply for the next job.
