Hi, this is Stephanie Moss. Today, I want to talk to you about resignations. Recently, I was talking with one of my candidates. And she sent me a fictitious copy of her resignation letter. She was obviously very unhappy in her current situation. And although the letter was quite funny, it was obviously fake.

She was obviously very unhappy in her current situation. And although the letter was quite funny, it was obviously fake.

We had a good laugh over it and then transitioned talking about how important, even though she was very disgruntled, how important it was to still leave on the right note. It got me thinking and reminded me how important it is to make sure that when you do resign, you do it in a very clean manner.

professional way and make sure you never earn a bridge you never know who you're going to interview with next or you're going to end up working for next so it's very important that you leave on the right note and do things the right way Anytime you have a resignation, let's face it, it's a breakup. You're leaving them.

You're leaving them.

Even if you have good reason, it's going to hurt just like any breakup does, even if the timing is right. So here's a couple of thoughts and reminders to make sure that you have a good, clean resignation, a good, clean breakup. First of all, make sure you put it in writing. That's always important. Have a letter for you, your immediate boss, and somebody in HR.

Another good reminder is keep it simple. A resignation is not the time to go into all the reasons why you left, why you are unhappy. Chances are you really weren't unhappy, but a better opportunity came along. So with the resignation at that time, just keep it simple. Hey, another opportunity has come across my plate that's going to be better for me and my family.

It makes sense at this point for me to take it. Very simple. Thirdly, stay focused on the transition. Let your employer know that this isn't the right time or circumstances to consider a counteroffer. There are tons of articles out there and why counter offers are ineffective and ultimately don't serve you or your employer. But just communicate clearly. Hey, this decision is final.

It's irreversible. Let's focus on my transition. What can I do between now and my last day? to ensure a smooth transition for you. Lastly, make sure you're keeping in touch with your new employer to make sure that there's a smooth transition on that way. Candidates, this is a challenging time.

You need to make sure if you're not working with a recruiter, or even if you are, that you have a good support system with them. Make sure you're talking to them about any of the emotions that you're having. I know that sounds cheesy and girly, but you're going to have them. Make sure you have a very good objective sounding board.

So as you go through that difficult time of resigning and saying goodbye, you have somebody in your corner reminding you why you're doing what you're doing. It'll help tremendously. I have a couple suggestions for hiring managers who are hiring and for those that are being resigned to, if that makes sense. Hiring managers, as you know, your folks are going to resign.
