Resigning Don’ts

There are a lot of tips on how to make a graceful exit from your current job, but here are some of the stuff you should avoid when resigning:

Don’t write a negative resignation letter. No matter how bad your experience is with the company, don’t ever mention it in your letter. Not only will this make a bad impression on the bosses, but you might also not get a reference when you do this. Don’t include personal remarks on a resignation letter because this is impolite.

Don’t announce your resignation to your co-workers. After you’ve made up your mind about resignation, don’t inform your colleagues because this might make things more complicated. Never inform your colleagues ahead before your bosses too.

Don’t leave abruptly after the resignation. Make sure to take care of the official documents like the contract of employment, your clearance and most especially, finish your exit interview. These official documents might also be needed for your next job. Allow two to four weeks grace period before leaving the company, or as stated in your company rules and regulations. If the company won’t be able to give you the official documents as well as your last pay, then set a future appointment with the human resources and promise to come back.

Don’t get too personal. Bear in mind that your actions will be filed in your permanent employee records which are crucial to your future jobs. Make sure to talk to all your colleagues and associates before leaving. You’ll never know if you will work with them in the future.

Resigning Do’s

You’ve finally got a better job offer from another company-which means better opportunities, and all that’s missing is filing a resignation. The following is a rundown of resigning do’s and other tips on resigning with etiquette.

Do speak with your boss or immediate supervisor before resigning. This is ethical, plus will make them realize that you are honest and concerned about the company up to the last minute. Making your resignation come up as a surprise to them is also not good, because the company might not have ample time to find a replacement.

Do file a written resignation letter. Although resigning orally is acceptable for some firms, a detailed, written letter of resignation is more formal and is standard. Do keep the tone of the letter positive too. Even if you are leaving the company due to negative circumstances, those shouldn’t be included in the letter. If this is inevitable, then pick your words carefully and keep the letter as brief as possible.

Do make a list of your tasks and responsibilities before leaving. This list will be helpful and will serve as a guide to the one who will be taking over your position. Your boss will also appreciate this because this will mean less training efforts from their end.

Do thank the company and the bosses before leaving. More often than not, employees forget the contributions the company made to them, either financially or personally. The bosses will also appreciate your gratitude, and they will also give you a good reference.

Resignation Letter Essentials

Comments Off Categories: Resign
Tags: , , ,

Resigning is not that hard to do, but writing the letter will make leaving your job official and will ultimately say a lot about your etiquette. Here are some of the essentials that are needed to write a professional resignation letter and exit gracefully from your job.

First and foremost, decide on the tone of your resignation letter. Decide if you want it to be straightforward, concise, and most of all focused and factual. State the real reason why you are quitting your job, as well as how long you are staying in the company. State if you are willing to extend your resignation, and more importantly, if your resignation is final and irrevocable.

To make your letter more optimistic, mention your achievements in the letter as well. State that these achievements helped mold your career and that you take pride in these milestones. Consider this as the last positive impression that your company will remember about you.

When ending your letter, thank your employer for the opportunities the company offered you during the duration of your employment. Don’t forget to include your handwritten signature at the bottom of your letter.

Lastly, be prepared for mixed reactions, especially from your immediate superior. Before even filing your resignation, you should also consider their reactions, if you are willing to take up on their counter-offers, etc. If they didn’t see your resignation coming, they might also be surprised and might take it personally. Whatever their reaction is, try to stay positive, firm and calm throughout the whole process.

Burnout, stress, change of career path or simply getting bored at work- these are just some of the most popular reasons why employees decide to quit their jobs. After putting much thought into your resigning from your job, here are other details that you need to take note of for before you exit from your company.

There is absolutely no need for you to feel guilty after resigning from your job, or be afraid that your boss might hate you for your decision. Before even sending that resignation letter, you should be firm with your decision and understand that it happens often to employees all the time.

If a counteroffer comes up, make sure to review the offer before accepting it. To help you make a choice, think of the genuine reason why you are leaving. Counteroffers are attractive, because they are meant to flatter employees and prevent them from leaving, but there are also some cons that might affect you in the future. The counteroffer might also be just a way to make you stay for a while, but in the event that the company experiences budget constraints, you might be one of the first few people to be laid off.

Review the book of rules and regulations set by the company to make sure that you are not violating any rules pre-resignation. The handbook might also state how much time is really needed for you to pass on duties and responsibilities, as well as how much longer you need to stay with your current company.

There is no step-by-step guide on how to resign from your work These steps give you pointers on how to handle things just before leaving the office for good.

Make sure to clean your desk and get rid of old personal files. Bring with you the official documents you might need for your next employment, but throw away other unnecessary stuff. Clean up old files on your office computer too. Backup the files you need incase the technical team wants to reformat your computer.

Leave the office mobile phone and other benefits that you have as an employee. These may include keys to the office, your identification card (ID), or keys to the company car (if any). Make a list of important passwords for your email, in case they need to open it for work-related matters. Send email blasts to your clients and contacts saying that you will no longer be using the office email address.

During your exit interview, focus on the good things that the company contributed to you. At the same time, be honest. The interviewer may ask you a couple of questions on the reason why you resigned from your company. Don’t divert the question, instead, answer truthfully. The information you share is confidential anyway, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Lastly, make sure to jot down the numbers of your colleagues and friends you’ve made throughout the duration of your stay. This will help you keep in touch with them even if you’ve resigned and don’t work there anymore.
