Have you gone as far as you can go, professionally? Are you ready for something new? Have you already received a better offer? Perhaps your partner got a new job in another state and you\u2019re going with them, or maybe you hate your job so much that you can\u2019t stomach it one more day. Regardless of your reason for leaving, there is a right way and a wrong way to quit your job. Exiting on good terms is just the classy thing to do, whether you\u2019re looking for a reference or recommendation or not. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>A <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/career-advice-psychics\"><b><i>career advice psychic<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> can help you make your next career move! <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Give Notice <\/b><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to quit your job, the first thing you need to do is give notice. The standard is two weeks, but depending on what\u2019s waiting for you, you may not be able to give so much time. And your employer may choose not to take it. They may have you escorted out of the building that day\u2014especially if you work for a company that handles sensitive information or if you hold a high-level position there. Just make sure that you\u2019re prepared\u2014emotionally, physically and financially\u2014to quit your job before you actually do it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Write Your Letter of Resignation <\/b><\/p>\n<p>You might want to have this ready before you give notice. In it, include your intended last day. You can find plenty of good examples of resignation letters on the Internet. It should be concise and matter-of-fact. There\u2019s no need to get emotional, sentimental or vengeful. Remember to keep it classy!<\/p>\n<p><b>Meet With Your Supervisor <\/b><\/p>\n<p>When you quit your job, you should speak to your supervisor first as a courtesy, since you\u2019ve been working closely with them. It\u2019s better they hear it from you, rather than Human Resources. And if you\u2019re open to a counter offer or hearing about new perks if you stay, they\u2019re the person to get the ball rolling on that.<\/p>\n<p><b>Meet With Human Resources <\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can turn over your letter of resignation at this meeting. Again, you don\u2019t need to go into too much detail about why you\u2019re leaving\u2014keep it short and simple. You can mention what you\u2019ve gained by working there and offer to help transition your replacement or get things organized. If they ask for an exit interview on your last day, answer the questions and keep it classy.<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t Burn Bridges <\/b><\/p>\n<p>No matter your reason for leaving, do it with grace and class. You don\u2019t want to burn your bridges! Even if you hate the job and your coworkers were extremely toxic, you never know when they\u2019ll come up in your professional future. It\u2019s a small world\u2014smaller than you think! You may need a recommendation or you or your new boss may run into your former colleagues at a convention or wherever. You\u2019d like them to say good things about you, wouldn\u2019t you? Telling people off, leaving in a huff or just not showing up to a job will not only leave a bad taste in your employer\u2019s mouth, it will also show your lack of professionalism and prevent you from using the employer as a reference.<\/p>\n<p><b>Keep Working as Usual <\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you were able to give two weeks notice, spend those two weeks doing work! This isn\u2019t the time to slack off. Instead, finish strong! You should tell your friends and coworkers you\u2019re leaving and make sure your obligations are fulfilled. Don\u2019t start taking two-hour lunches or shoving your filing to the side of your desk.<\/p>\n<p><b>Offer Your Assistance <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Do whatever you can to make your transition as smooth as possible for your soon-to-be-former employer. If they hire someone to fill your shoes before you leave, or a coworker is stepping up to the task, train them. Show them what you do and how you do it. If they have questions they can get them answered before you leave.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update Your Contacts<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are personal friends and professional friends you\u2019ll want to stay in touch with. Remember what a small world it really is, and having as many current contacts as possible is always a good idea. Exchange phone numbers, emails and ask them to join you on professional sites like LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p><b>Exit Like a Pro <\/b><\/p>\n<p>On your last day, go around to everyone you\u2019ve worked with and say your goodbyes. Offer up thanks for all their help while you were there or let them know what a pleasure it was working with them. Tell your boss what you learned from him\/her that will prove valuable in the future.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re future is waiting!
