Put your old work behind you and learn from it

Have you left a job that no longer suited you and are you ready to start your new job? Not so fast! Make sure you have made peace with your past and your old boss and that you have learned valuable lessons from this experience that will allow you to perform, but above all to be happy in your new job.

Take the time to ask yourself what you really want

Before accepting the first job that you are offered, take the time to establish a list of clear goals concerning your professional life. Also think about what you have learned over the years so that you don't repeat the same mistakes. In other words, make a list of what you want and don't want for the future and stick to it. Then find the job that will fill you. Your intuition will tell you which one it is. Don't settle for less. Don't just choose a job, choose your next boss. If it doesn't click in an interview, there's no point in going any further.

Make it clear

When you submit your resignation, take the time to explain clearly and politely the reasons for your departure, so as not to be resentful. Make peace with the past and turn the page. Before accepting a new job, make sure it meets your expectations better than the previous one. For example, if you came out completely exhausted from a weekly paid job for which you were constantly asked to work overtime by saying that it was included in your employment contract, make sure this time to choose a job paid by the hour and specify in advance the number of hours per week you want to work. Ask the right questions, right off the bat, to find out if this is the job for you

If you need an assistant to help you with your heavy work, it's your right to ask.

However, do not become his friend and confidant, as he will then believe that he can afford to call you late at night on weekdays or early in the morning on weekends to ask you to do rush work. After all, a friend would not refuse to help him out. Do you understand where I'm coming from An important position deserves significant advantages

If your boss considers you to be essential to the smooth running of the business, he should grant you a substantial job title and salary. If not, don't hesitate to ask. After all, who asks for nothing has nothing. ...

Don't underestimate yourself

Do you have good training, experience and talent? Do not accept less than you deserve. Be confident, show what you are worth, but don't be arrogant. Simply explain to your future boss why you would be an asset to his business.
