Congratulations! You’ve accepted an offer and are looking forward to getting started in your new position!

Before we can truly celebrate, we have to deal with the delicate task of resigning your current position. Resigning from your current position can be an emotional experience. Regardless, it is important that you handle it with professionalism and grace. We can help you draft a letter but if you choose to do it on your own, it should contain the following elements:

• Notification of your decision to resign your position
• Effective date (typically after the required notice period)
• Appreciation for the opportunities provided.

Keep in mind that your resignation letter will most likely end up in your permanent file with that employer. With that in mind, you will want it to be brief and representative of the professional you are!
