In every person’s professional life, there comes a time where one has to move onto something else. Whether it’s just to a different job or leaving a job to start your own business there are some things you should be sure to do when transitioning. How do you go about resigning or quitting a job correctly? How do you make sure all your unfinished tasks will be done? How do you leave gracefully? Whether you quit, resign, or are fired, there are things to keep in mind. How you leave a job may even make just as lasting an impression on anything you accomplished throughout your tenure.
Think it Through. You might be ready to walk out the door, but handling a transition such as this comes with a lot of details. Make sure you take into consideration any other employees vacations and workloads. Develop a plan of action of things you will complete before leaving and who you will hand off any unfinished projects to. Of course, discuss this with other employees first so they aren’t blindsided by any extra work. It’s all important to tie up loose ends for the person taking over your job.
Don’t Gloat. While you may be moving onto something a lot bigger and better, try not to be too boastful. Making your coworkers or your boss feel as if you didn’t value your experience with them is never a good idea. You never know when you’ll need their help later, have to work with them again, or if you’re starting your own business, have them as customers. It’s best to keep any negative feelings you have to yourself even after leaving a job.
Keep in Touch. One reason to keep on good terms with your former coworkers/employers is for networking purposes and references. These relationships could definitely come in handy in the future of your career.
Do Your Research. No matter what reason you’re leaving a job for, make sure you know the rules. Can you break your contract? What benefits are you entitled to? This is really just to avoid any awkward disagreements between you and your boss.
Putting It In Writing. If you’re resigning from a position or quitting, a letter stating your departure should be simple and to the point, even if you verbally express this to your supervisor. It should also give as much notice as possible to be respectful of the need to replace you. Emphasize the positive and how the company has benefited you, but that it is simply time to move on. Offer to give any help during the transition or training to your replacement if possible. Basically this is another way you can leave the best impression possible, which can only help you in the long run.
