RESIGN WITH CLASS
You've been highly professional during
the interview process and have landed the job. Now it's time to
be just as professional in resigning from your current employer.
Make an appointment with your manager and prepare a brief letter
of resignation. If it is not possible to meet with your manager
in person, schedule a telephone appointment and fax your letter
to your manager. You must resign in writing, but extend the courtesy
of telling your manager of your decision. During the meeting, calmly
and concisely explain your decision and make it clear it is final.
Retain your poise if the meeting becomes tense. Burning bridges
is not an option.
Sample resignation letter
Dear Manager:
As per section ... of my contract of employment/employment handbook,
I hereby give x weeks notice of my intention to leave (company
name).
I want to thank you for all that you have done for me in my employment
here. It has been a pleasure working with you and representing
the company.
It is now time for me to move on and I have accepted a position
with another firm. This decision was not an easy one and took
a lot of consideration. However, I am confident that this new
role represents a positive move towards fulfilling my career aims.
I wish the company continued success and once again, would like
to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your team.
If there is anything I can do in aiding a smooth transition of
responsibilities, please let me know.
Sincerely,
|
