Welcome to the "How To" series, which provides quick and easy tips on how to handle a variety of common work situations. This video lesson, "How to Tell Your Boss You’re Applying for a New Job," takes you through the steps of a tough conversation between an employee who is applying for another job and their boss. Knowing how to prepare for and navigate this difficult conversation will help make the employee feel comfortable enough to talk to their boss early in the process. That way, the boss isn’t blindsided if the employee puts in their two weeks’ notice. Plus, this gives the employer the opportunity to do a stay interview.
