    There is a shift among workers, especially with the pandemic that brought along restrictions. Working from home has made people realize just how they can be able to earn remotely. As per the survey held by Microsoft Work Trend, 40 percent of workers were considering a change in a job in 2021. In the UK, the survey found that 38% of people were looking into a shift in jobs while 26% of employees in the US are making plans for a change in jobs in a few months.

    This shows that resigning from jobs happens, and while there are a variety of reasons behind it, there is the proper way to do it. Read on to know how to resign from a job.

    Confirm New Job

    There are situations that may lead to resigning without having any other job. An example is when your mental state is at stake. If that’s not the case, it’s important to resign when you are sure of your next job. Better still; confirm it with your new employer just so you are sure. Being unemployed can be tragic, especially during the uncertain times that we are living in.

    Inform Your Supervisor

    At your working station, there is a person that you report to, your manager. Make sure that you inform them first before spilling the information to someone else. This is a proper show of respect and professionalism. It will also ensure that you have a good rapport with your current supervisors even after you vacate the place. They may even be happy for you and write you a good recommendation.

    Formal Resignation Letter

    Letters make things official, especially in an office setup. Let the letter be a show of how appreciative you are of having worked with the organization. Thank your employer for the opportunity. Also, indicate the date of your last day at the company for documentation. Deliver the letter in person. It doesn’t get any more professional than this.

    Personal Documents

    Now that everyone is aware that you are leaving, it’s time for you to officially leave the office. You do that by clearing your desk of any of your belongings. It will be taken by someone else, and you should have it tidy as you leave.

    References

    New jobs require references, and who better to vouch for you than your former colleagues. Before leaving, talk to those that you’d want as your referees and tell them how important that means to you. It doesn’t have to be a forced affair. If you’ve had good relations with them, they will be more than willing to be your references, especially the manager of the company. Getting a recommendation letter from them could help a whole lot.

    People resign for different reasons. While some do it in order to pursue better opportunities, others do it to alienate themselves from a toxic work environment or to get away from bad bosses. Others do it for being undervalued or because there is no longer room for growth in that space. No matter what the reason for your resignation is, follow the steps above to make sure that you have a successful transition.
