It is nerve wracking. It almost feels like a betrayal of sorts. You’ve been sneaking around finding a new job, calling in “sick” to attend interviews and most likely disinterested and disengaged in your work.

But, know this: the company will go on without you. Your friends will still be your friends, and, if you leave on good terms, you’ll always have an excellent reference. Also, the company wouldn’t feel nervous if they had to lay you off.

Be proud of your accomplishments. Be gracious. And be brave.

Best of luck to you!

Good luck. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that. I remember being nervous. I don’t like conflict. But you know as soon as you walk out of that room, you’ll feel a tremendous weight lifting.

Now take me with you

What's wrong with Cognizant interview panels and recruitment teams ? They scheduled interview anytime without taking any confirmation or discussion and then takes confirmation from candidates 3-4 times that he/she will be attending and candidate says yes they will attend and once they joined then noone join the meeting neither recruiter/HR nor interviewer . Aur toh aur confirm bhi nhi krte ya cancel nhi krte meeting agar panel available nhi hai toh. Seriously sick persons in this company.

Confession 1: I have been dating this guy and have felt so empty inside and sad in our relationship and I just now realized it’s because he treats me like shit and doesn’t act like he wants me and lies to me! He is completely different than when we were just going out getting to know each other, but I’ve been holding on to that version of him. Why was this simple revelation so hard for me?!
