HOW TO RESIGN
Resigning from a job can be a daunting task, especially if you've found a new opportunity. Whether you're leaving due to underappreciation, overwork, or a poor work environment, it's important to resign professionally to maintain a positive reputation.
Key Steps for a Smooth Resignation:
​
-
Review Your Contract: Check the terms of your employment contract to determine the required notice period.
-
Confirm Your New Job: Ensure you have a formal job offer in hand and that any necessary checks, such as references, have been completed.
-
Resign in Person: Inform your line manager of your decision face-to-face, even if your employer requires a written notice.
-
Be Honest and Positive: Explain your reasons for leaving without being overly critical. Focus on the positive aspects of your new opportunity or the reasons you're seeking a change.
-
Maintain Professionalism: Continue to work hard and fulfill your responsibilities until your last day. Be willing to assist with training a replacement if requested.

By following these steps, you can resign gracefully and leave your current job on positive terms.
