Nearly 4.3 million people quit their jobs in the US in August 2021
After years of working in corporate marketing jobs, Allie Fendrick and Kate Meehan of Minneapolis had already considered shaking up their careers.“I think there’s nothing like a global virus to really make everyone take a hard and meaningful look at what we’re doing,” Fendrick said.
While lockdowns and home offices have made many Americans consider a change, anyone thinking about leaving a job should do so thoughtfully and with intention, says personal finance expert Farnoosh Torabi, who is editor at large at CNET Personal Finance. That starts with asking yourself if you really need to quit in the first place.
For those who do decide to quit without another job lined up, it is useful to envision the interview process ahead for your next gig.“Talk it up in a way that serves you, that shows that you’re somebody who is proactive…and that in the time in between, you’ve been doing something to keep yourself busy,” Torabi says.
Torabi advises all entrepreneurs to wait and develop their ideas for a new venture before they quit a steady job. That could mean crafting a business plan, building a community around the brand and even test driving the product before leaving.
