Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
If you don't yet have a new job, consider the pros and cons of resigning at this time. Remember that you won't be getting any severance if you resign, so if you have any financial concerns, be sure to address them before taking the plunge. Discuss your intentions with family, friends and other key people in your life. Also, create a job search plan for yourself.
 
Make a transition plan
There are many things you have to sort out when you resign. So before you make any sudden moves, create a transition plan for yourself. Write down all the things you need to get in order before you announce that you're leaving. Check your company's resignation policies, write your resignation letter, and organize your personal effects at work. List any outstanding or ongoing work that you'll have to finish or pass along. Schedule your resignation so that it doesn't conflict with any company policies. If you have another job lined up, make sure you leave ample time to wrap things up at your current workplace before your new start date. Use the Resigning Checklist to help you create and execute your transition plan.
 
My Coaching
Get an edge over the competition
Consider getting professional advice. If you have any concerns regarding your resignation that may have legal implications, consult a lawyer. Employment lawyers can help clarify policies and confidentiality/ non-compete rules to which you may be bound. Legal issues take time to resolve, and by no means do you want your new employer enjoined in this in any way. If you're resigning for reasons that involve harassment or violations of human rights, contact your local human rights organization.
