Most people find the termination interview to be an unpleasant evil, but\nthis does not have to be the case for you. If you go to your boss’s office well\nprepared, you need not fear the outcome of the termination interview. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last year, foundation figures reached unprecedented record levels. Many\nSwiss people took advantage of the covid-19-pandemic to start their own\nbusiness. However, those who want to start their own business must first quit\ntheir current employment. Employees usually find the necessary termination\ninterview an unpleasant affair. Good preparation not only makes the interview\neasier, but also helps to leave a positive impression with the boss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Say thank you<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, the termination interview produces productive outcomes for both parties and is a good way to end the working relationship in a professional manner. The employee is well advised to say thank you for the time spent together and to highlight some positive experiences and lessons learned. This also applies to employment relationships of a negative nature. Even if you are quitting due to dissatisfaction, you should try to name one or two good experiences while remaining honest. Accentuating the positive makes it easier to leave and ensures being remembered fondly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Show confidence in the interview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many employees are dreading the termination interview, which is why they\nalready enter the dialog with a defensive attitude. This is a serious mistake.\nAs an employee, you should not allow yourself to be pushed into a corner during\nthe termination interview but should treat your superior with respect and at\neye level. After all, it is your right to leave the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Prepare the transition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you go into the termination interview with a “devil may care”\nattitude, you risk making yourself unpopular not only with your boss, but also\nwith your former colleagues. To avoid any bad blood you should think ahead and\nprovide plans in the interview on how to make your transition as easy as\npossible for everyone involved. Of course, you can clarify the details with\nyour supervisor during the interview. However, you should already have some\ninitial ideas. You may already have the chance to suggest a potential successor\nduring the termination interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Hold back on details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your resignation comes as a surprise, your boss may ask you some awkward questions. Why are you leaving? When did you apply for the other job? What does your new position look like? You should exercise restraint when answering these questions. Be honest, but don’t provide too many details. You are not obligated to answer such questions. If necessary, make this clear to your supervisor in a friendly but emphatic manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Keep your calm<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite good preparation, the termination interview may not go as\nplanned. Some bosses do not realize the value of an employee until it is too\nlate and try to persuade them to stay in the final meeting by offering a\npromotion or salary increase. Others take the dismissal personally and become\nabusive. Either way, you should remain calm. In the event of an offer, give\nyourself time to think it over and else remain professional even in the face of\npersonal attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
