📝💼 WSM Tip Tuesday   While most of our tips focus on landing a new job, it's equally important to discuss how to leave one! Last week, we discussed “The Ugly Truth About Submitting a Two-Week Notice” ICYMI: While giving a two-week notice is often seen as the professional way to leave a job, the reality is that your employer isn’t obligated to honor it. This means you could be asked to leave immediately, leaving you without a paycheck sooner than expected. Now that we’re on the same page about managing our expectations on giving a two-week notice, this week we’re focusing on HOW to submit one, along with other tips to be mindful of! Swipe through for more info! 👉 If you have any other tips or insight, feel free to comment below. 👇    #WSMTipTuesday #WSM #MocoHiring #MocoJobs #CareerTips #Professionalism #TwoWeekNotice #JobSearch

To prepare, consider these steps: - Secure Savings: Have enough savings to cover expenses in case you’re let go right away. - Organize Finances: Ensure all bills are paid and any pending financial obligations are sorted out before submitting your notice. - Plan Ahead: Line up your next job or source of income to avoid a gap between paychecks. Remember to always protect yourself financially when transitioning between jobs!   If you have any other tips or insight, feel free to comment below.
