Whatever the reason for leaving your current ecommerce role, you need to inject excitement and positivity into your new job search. Our favourite takeaway from this blog is the importance of refreshing your skills.

It’s your chance to focus on the skills you’re passionate about and will help you find the right role as a result. When it comes to interviews, you will have refreshed your skills and really show what you’re made of!

Not every ecommerce job search goes to plan…

Blog: #CareerCounsel – Not getting that dream role

Sometimes, you can really ace the job process and still not secure the job. It happens to the best of us! This can be deflating, especially if you’re eager to move on from your current role. The best thing to do is not let this one setback affect not only your job search moving forward, but also your performance at work.

The best takeaway from this is taking time to reflect on why the result wasn’t what you wanted. When it comes to feedback, this is your chance to see where you may have tripped up or find out what the successful candidate offered the business. This will help you build a picture of how to improve in the next process and will build your confidence, even if you don’t feel particularly confident at first.

The resignation letter

Blog: Approaching your resignation letter

If you’re reading this, does this mean you’ve found your dream role? If so, hooray! You may notice the blog we have listed here concerns a resignation letter for a career break. While a slightly different situation from moving on to a new ecommerce role, there are still great tips to be taken from it.

When resigning, it is all about respect – explaining why, addressing the right people and ensuring you are well within the notice period. It’s also nice to explain what you enjoyed and what you’ve learned, so your management have feedback for hiring ecommerce talent when it comes to your replacement.

Leaving on a high – the key to serving your notice period

Blog: Surviving your notice period

You’re likely to be extremely excited to get started when you secure a new ecommerce job – but it doesn’t mean you should check out of your current role immediately.

The best advice from this blog is to avoid indifference and do all that you can to help your soon to be ex-team manage the transition. Ultimately, it will feel good leaving on a high and knowing you did all you could to achieve the best results.
