The best way to quit is to resign with dignity! When the time comes, put in your 2 week notice to your employer, you do not need to have lengthy conversations about your reasons why, but give them those two weeks to show that you want to finish with time for them to find someone else to replace you to the best of your ability. That part of the job doesn't have any bearing on your capacity to move forward with your life. They shouldn't be so dependent upon you that it makes you feel guilty or weighs heavily on you - it is a job that you do not own yourself, they will make it without you.

If they ask you before you hand in your notice, let them know you haven't made a decision yet - it honestly isn't their business where your mind is so early at this time. Your duty is to the position itself, not to inquiring minds. :)

Love to you!

Thank you SO much. I literally do not know HOW to quit, what sort of thing to say to do this in a positive but honest way. They may ask me soon or it may not be till April next year. I actually WANT them to ask me soon to get that part out of the way. Even if it DOES go down like a lead balloon I have to do this SO much ELSE I want to do!!

Hello Athena! I apologize for such a late reply to your post, I believe I was finishing up my finals for school and I got behind in checking my online groups!

You are following your heart in your decision to move on from this occupation, which is a choice for the betterment of YOUR life. You cannot be responsible for the lives of others, they have to find their own inner strength to find what is good for them - even when it comes to hiring people for a position.

I would love to have an update on how things are going with your career change, if you have made it yet. You already house all the right answers within your heart, trust your intuition and ask Source/ GOD for guidance on your journey! :)

Love to you,
Tamara

Follow your heart and trust your gut and the that leap of faith you won't regret it.

I put this as a discussion & am getting amazing replies that are REALLY helpful but I'd also like to see what you have to say TamaraRasheed so I am putting it on as a comment to:
Made a decision that next year is going to be my last year at work and in July 2011 - the end of that school year - I am resigning. I am leaving full time permanent teaching at my current job to try new things career wise with some temporary teaching and holiday camp work thrown in. If it does not work out I am qualified & experienced enough - I believe to get back into teaching if I want to
(Worse case scenario, I go back to my home country for a year or two mum & dad are VERY supportive and now I can work in Europe and Egypt too PLUS of course I can always try for work permits in other countries! I aint gonna starve! That's NOT an issue!)
& I am currently doing a course in something else I want to pursue while keeping an eye out for a couple of other learning opportunities.
(I am getting through the course work quickly & enjoying and understanding it and got a B+ on my first assignment, told by my tutor "This is a strong first assignment"
I got to do something to do with one of the other things I want to learn (to help hubby out) another freebie & got some rave reviews!)
Mostly this feels REALLY exciting & I am looking forward to this AND I felt this MASSIVE PEACE in my heart when I made that decision. And - for once - I got NO resistance from hubby he was like if it's what you want go for it I want you to be happy etc.
Now my boss and even colleagues may be a different story. There is a strong possibility that my assistant through her lack of training - which we have encouraged her to get - could be laid off within two years and the other one has talked of leaving and the third will leave at some stage. They know I will not be there "forever" but not how soon I want to leave. They ARE fond of me.
My boss asked me last September?? how long I plan to stay and I said maybe five years, maybe 10 maybe 20 and she looked a bit disappointed & said I hope it is not five, I have invested a lot in you.
She has not invested money in me far as I know but yes I had to work there till September to get visas extended then UK passport BUT I am throwing in another year and 10 months here that I don't HAVE to work there.
Plus I work my butt off there so it's not like she gets nothing back - if fact she is happy with what I do.
However she will tell the kids we work with the follow their dreams - well what about MY dreams?!!
The main reason I changed my mind is cos every two years - it used to be five - the government inspects us but those years the pressure increases and there's a LOT of pressure on us all ANYWAY so these years - this is one - are worse so I vowed to myself no more!
It's never been my dream job. Maybe no job/career ever will be but my heart is telling me to go. I have and do do all I can to appreciate the good points and some things HAVE changed - it's AMAZING!!
Things have already begun lining up for it - it's like the Universe is telling me to go for it which is ALSO AMAZING!
I believe I DESERVE to have my dream job & career (not to be treated like a little child or servant!!) I deserve to be happy. Freedom is one of my highest values.
My husband says "I am born free."
So am I. I crave freedom, flexibility and fun.
Of COURSE I appreciate my job and all I have benefited from it SO much!
Anyway, I realise it's ages away but any advice on how to deal with guilt traps from the boss when I DO tell her - she may even ask me this month or in July or September this year what my plans are - how do I handle it?
Or if my assistant or other colleagues get upset?? I HAVE said to them - dropped hints - I'm sick of these inspections & don't want to go through another! (Though as much as possible I am trying to focus on what I DO want)
I DO care about my boss & colleagues and how they feel but I
need my freedom!
(P.S. I also juggle at least 4 roles there - enough! I am happy to help re-train someone else to my level if needed.)
I am taking a career change for the most part, with some teaching but also other things as well. So it's not like I'm going to another school for another permanent full time job.
Thank you SO much in advance for any help & advice!!
