Dear Sir,
I have resigned from my company on 28th April, without having any option in my hand, After that i have started for Job search, Finally i got a new job. They will be sending an offer letter to me on 14th May. It's 3 months notice period as per the current employer, Same was conveyed during interview to the new company.
My fear is, As i will get the releaving letter, the resignation date will be mentioned, My new employer in turn will put a Q mark, That we have given you an offer on 14th may, Then why ur resignation date is 28th April?
How to face this situation ? Pls. Help

hey...
Why worry, speak the truth...
You must be having some concrete reasons for leaving your job before having anything in hand, tell your employer about what made you resign.....I think its always better to speak the truth than thousand lies to hide it....
So go ahead.....

Hello sanjuamerican,

Archna & jagadeesh have given you the right way to handle the situation.

But going by the words you used in your thread, I get a feeling that you DON'T seem to have told the new company that you have resigned already--else you would have been asked why in the interview itself? Or is it that you already cooked-up something as the reason for resigning?

If you haven't told them about it, then tell them the truth. In a way, it will turn-out to benefit the new company--since you would be joining earlier than if you were to resign AFTER you get this Offer Letter.

But if you have already cooked-up some reason during the interviews, then I think you are going the way Archna mentioned--telling a thousand lies. In which case, pl mention the ACTUAL facts in the thread, so that the members can advise you better & correctly.

Though I would give you the benefit-of-doubt, it's not normal to resign without having anything in hand--unless you were forced to resign OR like Archna mentioned:you must be having some concrete reasons [not sure which of the 2 is right].

Rgds,

Dear All,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Infact i didn't told to new company that i have already resigned from the company. I took this decision, as i was looking for a change, i was not satisfied with the work enviornment of my current company. It's a smooth transaction. But i persoanlly feel it will not give a right image to the new company.
Now the problem here is HR will call me, next weekdays, what should i answer him, should i tell him the truth that, i haveput papers on 28th apr & they will releave me on 27th june. OR second option is don't discuss with them & ask her to get releave asaP & will join the duties.
Another option cming in my mind is that I can say : I got an offer from the company, Thats why i resigned here, but now with you i m getting better opportunity.
PLS. SUGGEST considsering all the facts

Hello sanjuamerican,
Pl confirm/reconfirm the following points/aspects ASAP.
1] You resigned on 28 April.
2] You are in Notice Period now & will be relieved on 27 June.
3] You have an option of getting relieved EARLIER than 27 June.
Once you clarify/confirm the above, I am sure a solution can be found.
Also, since you are in TWO minds how to handle this situation, that itself means you DON'T LIKE to speak untruth. Just keep it up & let's focus to find a solution WITHOUT speaking untruth/lie.

Hey SanjuAmerican,
The dilemma can be avoided once you take the courage to let them know about the reality,also it would be much easier for you to stick to the truth rather than creating unusual reasons for resigning on 28th April.
If you are planing to say that you had an offer from some other company and so you resigned, but now this one is better so you are joining them, dear who will keep their trust on you. They would think that you can join somewhere else in next three months, if any other better offer come your way then why would this company will hire you...just think about it.
And even if you are relieved earlier than 27th June, you cannot change the date of resignation in that - so you have to speak the truth..
I would wait for what TS has to say here.....:)

Hello Archana,
Thnx for the reply,
TO be very honest, i also would like to tell the truth, But my worry is if i tell the truth, they might feel, there is some thingwrong with the candidate in the organization, OR he did something wrong, bcz HR guy will be moreintrested to know the reason of leaving from the current org.
OR you can suggest some better answer of leaving.:)

Hello sanjuamerican,

Here's my suggestion--most likely it should work, unless I missed out something critical.

Usually most companies give the Relieving Letter with the Date of Joining in that Company AND Date of Leaving that Company [the terminology may be different like, Worked till...., On Rolls until...., Relieved on.... etc]. So your Date of Resignation may not even figure in that Document. I guess problem solved? :-)

Since you have already resigned & are in the Notice period, suggest you check with HR on the Format of the Relieving Letter [guess you don't need to give them the reasons for asking this info]--this should make things clear for you if what I suggested would work-out.

Assuming it works out, you DON'T need to raise/discuss/inform the Date of resignation AT ALL with the new Company--just check out the Date of Joining preferred & handle things accordingly with your present company--depending on whether the Buy-out Option is practical in your case [whether you buy it out or the new Company].

Even if your Company has the practice of mentioning the Date of Resignation in the Experience/Relieving Letter, you can ask HR for this point NOT to be mentioned. Since they won't have anything to loose NOR are you asking for anything out-of-the-way/incorrect, they could agree.

This is what I have tried to follow: Always try to speak the Truth. But when speaking the Truth puts you into a very critical situation, use your head/brains to get out of the situation--but even then NEVER TELL A LIE. I used this in some life-threatening situations in my life a few times in the past.

Pl keep the Forum informed on the result.

And yes--a more important thing. NEVER EVER resign the way you did WITHOUT HAVING ANYTHING IN HAND in the future. Learn the lesson.

Rgds,

Hi TS,
O C'mon you don't need an approval TS :), you are already doing a fabulous job here on forum, and yes, the solution Perfectly make sense...just one point is there are companies which mention the date of resignation in experience letter also, so this guy has to be careful about that.
And completely in consensus with you I would like to recommend SanjuAmerican, that please do not repeat the same mistake again ever, as you might get in trouble.
Thanks again TS, I'm obliged with this gesture of yours.
God Bless....
