10 Good Enough Reasons to Quit Your Job

Switching a job is surely not an easy thing to do. It demands lots of efforts from looking for a job to applying for it and finally facing the interview. There is one very important thing to do while you are going for the interview and it is to have a strong reason prepared for leaving your present job.

Well it is very important that you frame a proper reason before heading for your interview. So here are 10 smart reasons which are good enough for quitting your job.

1. Did Not Like What I Was Doing

It is quite genuine that you are leaving your job because you were not enjoying the work you were doing. May be the job did not turn out to be what you anticipated it to be at the time of job acceptance. There are times in our career when one day we suddenly realize that we are interested in something else on reevaluating our goals.

2. Don’t Gel With My New Boss

Yes, it does happen. When your old boss leaves and you are not able to work under your new boss, you decide you leave. The organizational changes in the company often result into many employees looking for a change because their bosses change and they no longer are able to work with the new bosses and deliver with their services.

3. Got a Better Offer From Another Organization

Many a times you leave a job because you have got a better deal with some other company. You have been offered a hike in salary, a promotion or you just wanted to switch the company, all these reasons work very well because employees switch jobs for better jobs, for higher salaries and it is very much acceptable.

4. Under-utilized or Over-qualified

We all look for jobs which are perfect for us, which perfectly satisfy all our needs but sometimes we end up accepting jobs which are not are dream jobs because our priority is to earn money. In such a scenario, quitting a job is the right thing to do because you are not doing justice to your skills and to your future and moving ahead is the right thing.

5. Other Goals to Accomplish

There is no harm is leaving a job when you realize that you have various other goals in life which you want to achieve. You can always include them as reasons for leaving your job but make sure these goals are for self improvement. You may want to travel, you may want to strudy….. know what your goal is and just say it all.

6. From Part-Time or Freelance to Full-Time

If you are working on part0time basis and not you want to want to head for a proper full-time job then this is again a very strong and valid reason for quitting for you to make a move towards a better job.

7. Personal Issues Needed Attention

Sometimes in life you have more important things to take care of over your career. You have to step back from a job and take care of the situation. It can be some emergency in the family or some medical condition that has compelled you to take such a decision.

8. Long Term Pending Promotion is Still Due

This is one of the worst things to happen. When you have given your best at your job and you are expecting a promotion and it doesn’t happen, it gets very frustrating. When the promotion is pending  for too long, it is always good to walk out of the job.

9. You Have Been Laid Off

It’s a bad news but you don’t have to feel bad about it provided you have not been laid off because of your ineffective working. Many a times during mergers and acquisitions, regardless of performance, you are laid off by companies.

10. You Were Fired

If you have been fired then surely this is not a very good thing to share in an interview but you must not even lie about it. And of course you will be asked about the reason for getting fired, so be prepared for it. While answering this question, make sure that you don’t end up saying anything bad about your employer. You have to be very cautious about the reason you state.

So with these reasons, you can always have your answer ready for quitting the job without any doubts. Use these reasons with smartness and you will crack it right!!!!!
