Resignation Tips

One of the most difficult challenges in accepting a new job is resigning from your current position.
But HOW you leave will be how you will be remembered (You may need a reference from here one day).

Our advice is to be as professional as you can in all parts of your job search cycle but it is very important to remain polite and professional at resignation time.

We recommend you always resign in person where possible – with a resignation letter ready to present to your employer at that point.

Your letter should be succinct and to the point:

• State your intention to resign
• When you will be finishing
• State your gratitude for any opportunities you have experienced throughout your time of employment
• The only time to include a reason is because of something positive

Whatever your reason for leaving this is NOT the time to be negative or critical about your employer or manager.

Once you have told your manager – ask them how the business would like to handle your decision and support that process.
Good Luck!
