Things to Keep in Mind when Resigning

When you are resigning from your job, whatever the reason, there a few things to keep in mind:

• Provide two weeks’ notice if possible, unless the company has a policy for shorter notice periods
• Provide documentation of your resignation in writing don’t just give your boss verbal notice
• Be sure to thank the company and your colleagues for the opportunities you have been given
• Keep all communication professional and positive
• Follow all relevant policies when resigning

Your company HR department should be in contact shortly after receiving your letter to discuss the details of your resignation, such as any unused vacation days or relevant paperwork.

Keep in mind that a resignation letter is not a place to air grievances – save that for an exit interview if you are offered one.

Your focus should be on thanking the company and leaving on a positive note.

This is especially true if you’re leaving due to your husband pursuing a new opportunity and relocating, it sounds like you have a lot to look forward to!
