The Best Way To Resign:
When its time to leave the company
you currently work for you should always act in a
professional manner. Remember you may need them for a
reference and also you never know when you may cross
paths with them again.
Just imagine if you had let your
emotions run away with you and you had told the boss
exactly what you thought only to find later that they
knew your new employers or worse still eventually ended
up working with or in your new company.
So best thing to do is always keep
things on a nice basis. Keep calm, never express any
anger.
The following are some points you
may wish to note:-
You should:-
-
Stay professional
-
Advise your employers face to
face and give them your resignation letter
-
Remember you may come into
contact with them at a later stage
-
Chose your references carefully
and let them know your intentions and why you think
you’re suitable for the new job.
-
Avoid any insults or aggressive
conduct
You should never:-
-
Hand your notice in when you’re
angry
-
Think that you have to give any
reason at all why you want to leave – it’s your
choice
-
Vent your frustration at them
telling them of all the bad things you don’t like
about their company.
If the issue that made you want to
think about leaving related to financial reasons you
should tell them so. It’s possible they may want to
think about increasing your package rather than losing
you to another company. Sometimes a letter of
resignation can trigger this but you need to think
carefully you don’t want to be back in the same position
in another year’s time and you would also be messing
about the company that has made you the offer and that
might scupper any chance of you getting back in with
that employer in the future.
When you resign it’s a good idea to
do so after you have obtained another position. Not only
would that give you less of the obvious financial
strains that leaving a job without one to go to would
produce but you would also be better placed. It’s often
a fact that employers often prefer to employ those that
are already in employment rather than those that are
not.
Despite this many employees do
resign without a job to go to, often it might be because
they want to take a gap from work to reassess what they
want to do next or just to take a holiday to think
things over.
What ever your reasons or choices
for wanting to resign you should always think carefully
about it and always go about it in a professional
manner.
