Key Questions to Ask When Transitioning Roles

1. What should I do when I’m offered a new role?

Getting a job offer is an exciting milestone - and one worth celebrating! Rena advises taking a moment to review all aspects of the offer, from salary and benefits to the job’s long-term potential. If anything feels unclear, your recruiter can help navigate those conversations and make sure you’re getting the best deal.

Rena’s advice helps you:

  • Ensure the offer aligns with your career goals and lifestyle.

  • Secure the best possible package - your recruiter can negotiate for you.

  • Move forward with confidence, knowing you’re making the right move.

 

2. How do I leave my current role on a positive note?

Leaving a job is part of growing your career - and doing it the right way ensures you stay focused on the exciting opportunities ahead. Rena recommends giving proper notice and staying productive during your final weeks to finish strong.

Rena’s approach helps you:

  • Wrap things up professionally so you can focus on your new role.

  • Maintain positive connections that could benefit you in the future.

  • Transition smoothly - without feeling stuck in the past.

 

3. How should I approach the first few days in my new role?

The first days in a new job are your chance to make a strong impression and set the tone for success. Rena suggests coming in with a positive mindset, asking questions, and showing enthusiasm. Your recruiter can also provide insights on company culture and expectations to help you settle in faster.

Rena’s advice helps you:

  • Make an impact early on, setting yourself up for success.

  • Build relationships with your new team from day one.

  • Feel comfortable and confident as you start your new chapter.

Why asking these questions matter?

Moving into a new role is an exciting career step - and the way you handle the transition can set you up for long-term success. With Rena’s expert advice, you’ll feel prepared, empowered, and ready to embrace your next opportunity.
