Quitting a job can be even more nerve-wracking than the interview that you had to secure it
0:13
But it's time to say no to the job you hate and yes to the career you want to start
0:18
If you made the decision to hand in your notice, here are some important steps that you need
0:23
to take to ensure you're leaving the company on a good note
0:28
Sign your new contract first. Before you place one foot out the door, it's essential that you have finalized the details
0:36
with your new employer. This means that you should have a signed contract in place before you bid goodbye to your old job
0:43
In addition, be sure that it's the right step that you want to take. If there's any uncertainty, don't accept the new job just yet
0:52
Hand in your notice personally. When it comes to resigning, the most important rule is to hand your notice in person
1:00
Ask your manager for a private chat when it's convenient for them and tell them face-to-face
1:05
It's essential that you don't tell anyone else you're leaving before your boss knows
1:09
even if you're dying to tell your work bestie. You don't want the possibility of your news circling the office before you've had a
1:17
chance to talk to your manager. Give feedback on why you're leaving
1:23
If you've been at the company for a while, your boss will want to know why you're leaving
1:27
Prepare what you want to say beforehand to ensure that your answer is honest yet professional
1:33
Remember that you want to maintain a good relationship with your manager, so don't
1:38
start sladding the company before you've even left it. Write a formal letter of resignation
1:45
After you've discussed the details, it's time to write and send your formal resignation letter
1:50
Start your letter by including the date and the recipient's name, then go on to state
1:55
your resignation along with the date of your last working date. The following paragraph should add a statement of gratitude before you wrap up with your
2:03
next steps. For example, any information on your handover, and finally, close with your signature
2:12
Be at the top of your game. A lot of people tend to slack off as soon as they've handed in their notice since
2:18
they have an attitude because they are leaving anyway. That said, you should want to walk out the door with a great reputation and with a job
2:27
well done. 6. Create a handover plan Depending on your notice period, you're going
2:34
to need to create a handover plan for your replacement. Start by listing the job duties that you have, the tasks that you are working on, and what
2:42
you can tie up before your departure. Make sure that all files are up to date and give your colleagues easy access in case they
2:50
need to follow up on anything after you've left. 7. Share gratitude for the opportunity No matter how long you've been with the
2:59
company, it's important to show gratitude for the opportunity that they have given you
3:03
and the time that you have spent there. You may have also developed strong bonds with your co-workers, so take the time to personally
3:10
thank them for help and teamwork. 8. Make sure you say your goodbyes Even if you're told to leave immediately
3:19
it can happen in certain sales roles. Be sure to say your goodbyes and personally thank your supervisor for your time at the company
3:27
You don't necessarily have to send out a mass email, but approach the people whom you'd
3:32
like to stay in touch with. So there you have it, a few easy tips to follow when you're considering quitting your job
