Leaving Your Job Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

Congratulations! You’ve found a new job. It’s in your desired field, the salary is good (the bonus is better!), and the company culture is what you’ve always been looking for; this position is the perfect opportunity for you. There’s only one downside: you’re already employed. For whatever reason you’re ready to leave this old job—especially with a great new opportunity in front of you—but you don’t quite know how. CareerBuilder has put together a list of 5 Tips for Quitting With Class: work hard until the end, be gracious, give appropriate notice, ‘it’s me, not you’, and tie up loose ends. Every one of these is important when dealing with a soon-to-be-former employer, as it is crucial to never burn any bridges with either your coworkers or supervisors. You never know where those connections may come in handy in the future. Also, it’s never fun to have that one person who is twirling their thumbs until their final minute. Even though you may be counting the hours in your head, it’s important to put the effort into what you do until you leave the office for good.
