Summary
If you are thinking about leaving your job, here are some important points to think through before you turn in your resignation.
Making Sure You Really Want to Quit
Once you’re certain that you want to quit, handle your resignation as carefully as you would handle any other business endeavor. You never know when you will need them for a reference.
Giving Adequate Notice
When that happens, it’s important to conduct yourself professionally in every other way, such as sending a formal resignation letter, offering to help to the best of your abilities, and keeping things positive until you go.
Quitting Gracefully
A resignation letter can help you maintain a positive relationship with your old employer while paving the way for you to move on. Again, you never know when you might need your previous employer to give you a reference, so it makes sense to take the time to write a polished and professional resignation letter.
