It might sound unusual, but if possible, we would much rather you explore opportunities with your current employer before handing in your notice. If successful, you are likely to approach your next opportunity with greater commitment, knowing you have acted with a clear conscience and have already explored all options and addressed any concerns. If you have doubts, taking this approach may allow you to feel more confident that you have made a well-informed decision.
Some workplace issues, whether workload, career progression, recognition, or flexible working, can often be resolved through constructive dialogue. Speaking openly and professionally with your manager can uncover solutions you might not have considered. Even if these discussions do not prevent your departure, approaching the situation professionally leaves a lasting positive impression and strengthens your reputation for future references.
At Sheridan Maine, we guide candidates through these sometimes difficult conversations. We help you:
-
Identify the issues that matter most to you
-
Present your concerns clearly and confidently
-
Evaluate the options available to you
-
Make informed decisions about whether to stay or move on
We support you every step of the way, ensuring that whether you stay or take the next step in your career, you do so with clarity, confidence, and professionalism.
Before reaching for that resignation letter, pause and consider whether the challenges you face can be resolved through conversation. Exploring solutions first, if possible, is not only professional; it gives you peace of mind and ensures that your next career move is a confident, informed choice. Sheridan Maine is here to support you through every stage of this process, helping you navigate your career with certainty and purpose.
