Terminating your employment takes ingenuity. Just saying \u201cI quit\u201d isn\u2019t the end of your resignation. There are steps to be taken to ensure that your soon-to-be former colleagues, supervisors, and managers are still part of\u00a0your own social network<\/a>\u2014references for future endeavors. Resign professionally and gracefully following these simple rules:<\/p>\n

Avoid being a job hopper<\/strong>: Carefully evaluate your reasons for your departure. Invest some time in self-reflection to determine what keeps you at a particular job or what keeps you from staying. Be advised though when\u00a0creating a resume<\/a>, most companies frown upon too many employment changes in your work history.<\/p>\n

Have another job lined up first<\/strong>: When\u00a0changing careers<\/a>, make sure to have a written offer somewhere else before turning in your resignation. Cover all the bases before making any moves.
\n\"Smiling<\/a>
\nResign in person<\/strong>: Provide both oral and written resignation when you are\u00a0quitting a job<\/a>. Your resignation letter should incorporate the following information: intentions, the date you are resigning, the date you wish to leave, and your signature. Basic resignation letter would look like this:<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s date<\/em><\/p>\n

Company Address<\/em>
\nHR Department<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear (HR Manager),<\/em><\/p>\n

I am writing to inform you of my resignation from (position\/company name). As per my contract, I am providing xxx weeks notice and my last day will be xxx.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/em><\/p>\n

(Signature)<\/em><\/p>\n

Your Name<\/em><\/p>\n

Be honest and tactful<\/strong>: For\u00a0social networking solutions<\/a>, you want to leave with a good relationship intact. Be truthful to the reason behind your leave, but do not go into details. Do not bad mouth your former superiors; it could come back to you later in your career. You\u2019ll be also losing important references as well. Basically, don\u2019t burn your bridges.
\n\"Resignation\"<\/a>
\nOffer two weeks notice<\/strong>: When\u00a0quitting a job<\/a>, make sure to offer two weeks notice\u2014time for your company\/boss\/team to find a replacement for you. Offering transition time ensures proper knowledge transfer, tie up loose ends, and your work responsibilities to others. Don\u2019t stay longer than the standard length of time (two weeks) to protect yourself from unexpected changes in both your old and new company.<\/p>\n

Develop the skills you need to start a new career.\u00a0 KnowledgeCity<\/a>\u00a0has courses in Management, Leadership, Soft Skills, Project Management, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
