How you leave a job is remembered long after you're gone, and the industry is smaller than it seems. A clean, professional exit protects your reputation.
Give proper notice
Honour your notice period and offer to hand over smoothly. Burning bridges rarely pays and often costs later.
Keep it gracious
A short, positive resignation letter and genuine thanks leave the door open for references and future opportunities.
Quick tips
- Tell your manager before anyone else
- Serve your full notice period
- Document and hand over your work
- Leave on warm, professional terms
