We get asked all of the time,” How do I resign from my current company after accepting a new offer?”
Resigning from a job you have put your blood sweat and tears into to go work for another company can be one of the most stressful things anyone can do in their career.
Because of that we have put together some information that will help you transition into your new position seamlessly and stress free.
How to resign from your job is actually easier than you think, and most bosses will actually wish you well and make themselves available as a resource to you. If they are a good boss!!
First, do not give out information about your new job to anyone except your family, especially other recruiters, co-workers, or your current boss.
While it’s highly unlikely, we have seen this information used against candidates and can damage you if they know the details about your new job.
We recommend telling co-workers, current bosses, and recruiters that as soon as you land in your new job and get settled, you will share with them who you went to work for.
Next, you should offer your resignation in writing and it should read something like this: (Sample Resignation Letter Below for Your Use)
After
you submit your resignation it is your responsibility to leave your current
employer in the best standing possible. Do everything you can to complete and
outstanding projects, transition any files, projects or passwords to the
appropriate person, and last but not least find out who will be assuming your
work load and get them up to date so nothing slips through the cracks after you
leave.
If
you follow these steps you will create a smooth and stress-free transition for
you and you current employer.
