Resignation Tips
Your resignation letter will be the final document in your personnel file. This means
it will be the first document seen when a future employer calls for a reference or
if you reapply at your company.
Resign correctly and leave the windows of opportunity open for future jobs. The
goodwill you build now could help you network with colleagues later. Resigning
incorrectly by "burning your bridges" may haunt you in the future. Your
inappropriate reaction might even be considered a serious character flaw.
Your Character...More Valuable than Gold
Your personal and professional reputation is on the line here. Your employer and
co-workers will remember you by how you handle this important last impression.
And why should you care? Because the world is much smaller than you can
foresee. Chances are very good that you will meet these same people in social
and professional circumstances in the future.
The people you leave behind may affect (or afflict) your future life. Treat them
accordingly. You may be angry and you may have been treated unfairly, but
keep a cool head and show that you are a person of composure and style.
Settling scores by venting has no place in a letter of resignation.
Resignation Considerations
Before you resign, consider the following:
1. The Company Resignation Policy
Find out how your company treats resigning employees before you hand in your
resignation letter. You may give two weeks’ notice but two minutes after your
boss receives your resignation letter you may find yourself standing in the parking
lot without your personal belongings.
Some companies consider the day you announce your resignation your last day
of employment. If you are unsure, ask a few trusted fellow employees whether
they know company policies and how previous resignations have been handled.
Don't give your employer excessive advance notice when you may be dismissed
immediately.
