SSWs can change company/job, but first, try to sort out why you are thinking about resigning your present company.  If you have any doubts about the content of your work or working conditions, you may be able to continue working if you can resolve those issues with the present company.

If you want to change job/company, JAC provides support for finding a new company.  You can also search for a company/job at public employment services such as Hello Work.
