Making your decision
· List the pros and cons of your present job and the new one
· Decide if you have explored all avenues for remaining within your current company. For example, would you still leave if offered more money or a promotion?
· Think about your reasons for leaving, what was it that made you unhappy? Will it be likely to change?
· Listen to the advice of friends or family, but make sure you make your own decision.
· Do not be influenced by false promises from your current employer
If you decide to resign, the first thing to do is to inform your manager.
It is always professional in your resignation letter to show gratitude for the opportunity you have been given to work for them. Remember not to ‘burn your bridges’ as you will likely be working in the same industry in your new job and your paths may cross again.
However, once you have resigned, it could mean you have to leave the office straight away – make sure you are prepared in case you are put on gardening leave with immediate effect.
