Deciding to leave a job can be daunting, but letting your
employer know can be even more nerve-wracking. Don’t worry, though. If you give
the proper notice, you’ll be able to leave on good terms. In this blog from an
expert in staffing
solutions, you’ll find out how to give your two-week notice professionally.
Prepare
Yourself
Before you have the conversation with your boss, make sure
you prepare yourself. It’s a good idea to write down what you plan to say
during the conversation. Ensure that you stay rational and try not to get
emotional during the discussion. Keep in mind they may have some questions for
you and be ready to answer them honestly.
Proper
Timing
You don’t want to wait until right before you’re leaving to
let the company know. It’s considered professional to give a two-week notice,
meaning you will depart 14 days (about 2 weeks) after you turn in your
resignation. You want to do this, so you show your respect for your boss by
giving them time to fill your role, so things go smoothly when you leave.
Stay
Professional
While you may want to emphasize you’re leaving for reasons
unrelated to your current job, make sure to stay professional. Don’t criticize
your boss, team, or company. This won’t reflect well on you, and it could
create unintended consequences. Instead, focus on the positive aspects that
helped you grow. Show your gratitude for the opportunities given to you and
leave amicably.
Conclusion
Leaving your job can be tough. It’s important to depart on
good terms by giving your employer the proper two-week notice and keeping a
positive relationship intact. Your approach to this can make a big difference
in any recommendations you may need in the future. If it’s time to move on,
