Tips for Making a Gracious Exit: Two Weeks' Notice
Chandler, AZ - September 26, 2023
Leaving a job can be a nerve-wracking experience. Whether
you’re leaving for personal reasons or exploring new careers,
it’s important to make sure you leave on good terms and give a respectable two weeks'
notice. However, some people struggle with the best way to resign gracefully.
In this blog post from a leader in job openings,
you’ll find tips for giving your two weeks' notice and making a gracious exit.
Plan Your
Conversation
Before scheduling a meeting with your boss about your
resignation, take some time to plan out what you want to say. Be clear and
concise about your reason for leaving, but you don’t have to go into too much
detail. Focus on the positive aspects of your time with the company and express
gratitude for the opportunity.
Give a
Written Letter
After you have an in-person discussion about your
resignation, you should still follow up with a formal, written two weeks'
notice. This is a professional way to document your notice and make sure
everyone is on the same page. Keep the letter simple and to the point,
including your last day of employment, a brief reason for leaving, and another
expression of thanks to the company.
Help With
Transition
Another way to make sure you stay on good terms with your
boss and colleagues is to offer to help with the transition. You could help out
with training your replacement, preparing documentation, or any other tasks
that will make your leaving go smoothly. Your help isn’t always needed, but
offering it is always a good idea.
Conclusion
Resigning from your job can make you nervous, but by giving
your two weeks' notice eloquently, you’ll show professionalism and keep
respect. Plan out your conversation ahead of time, prepare a written
resignation letter, and offer to do anything you can to make the transition smoother.
Remember these tips, and you won’t need to stress one bit!
