Welcome to
the "A Guide To Resigning" section of Engineering Jobs Now the ideal place where you can search to
find your perfect job in engineering.
It’s a good idea that after writing
your letter of resignation that you sleep on it. This
gives you chance to think over your decision one final
time before going down a pathway that you may be
uncertain of.
The resignation letter should always be
professional and should not include all the bad things
that you don’t like about the company or to air your
grievances or to act as a tool to tell your employers
exactly what you think of them. You certainly don’t want
to do anything in haste that you may later regret.
Your letter of resignation should be to the point
and include the position that you are resigning and a
date that you wish to terminate your employment from.
You should obviously take into account any formal notice
periods that may be stated within your contract of
employment. If no notice period is stipulated then you
should allow between two weeks and a month.
In some companies be aware that
it’s possible (in some cases) on handing in your
resignation they may want you to leave straight away
without working your notice. Often this is without any
financial loss to you but its done to protect their
interests should you be working with certain clients
that they feel they may lose to the competitor that you
are moving to should that customer find out where you
are going.
Often however, you normally end up
working your full notice. This may be a period in which
to assist or hand over duties to someone else. Should
you wish for a quicker exit it could be a good idea to
try to offer a solution to anything that could be
standing in your way, you could perhaps ensure that any
major projects or accounts are completed and up to date
this may help your objective.
You should be aware that you could
also include in the resignation letters a request to
leave earlier than the notice period or reduce it.
Whilst your employer doesn’t have to agree to this they
may be prepared to reach an agreement.
Never forget with writing your
resignation letters that you may cross paths at a future
stage with your employer. Often this letter may be kept
on a personnel file. In some cases you could always get
a friend or close colleague to check your letter prior
to you handing it in for any thoughts they have or to
ensure that its providing the information you want it
to.
All in all be professional and
polite to your employer and never hand the letter to
them on a bad day or when you’re feeling particularly
mad about them. It’s always in your best interests to
leave a company on good terms.
