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.

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.

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.

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.
