Preparing to resign from your current job?
Some job seekers have a hard time resigning, either because they love the job and their colleagues or because they don’t and can't wait to leave.
Just remember, “Never burn your bridges”. The most important rule when resigning from any job is, never to leave on bad terms. Dignity and professionalism go a long way.
Guidelines.
Once you are ready to announce your resignation, follow your company guidelines & consider the following:
Timing.
Give enough notice. The standard termination period for the Czech & Slovak 2 months, but you should consult your employee handbook in case your employer expects more (or less) advance warning.
Negotiate.
Be sure to get a fair settlement for any outstanding salary, vacation, sick days, bonus /commission payments or other compensation due.
Replacement.
Offer to help your current employer find your replacement.
Training.
Volunteer to train or work with your replacement to show him or her "the ropes."
Working.
Stay an active member of the team. Don't disappear during the last weeks on the job.
Completing.
Be sure to do your best to complete all open assignments and leave detailed reports for your supervisor and co-workers.
Leaving.
Make sure you have contact information for key supervisors and co-workers that you want to keep part of your network and be sure to thank them again for their support.
