CONGRATULATIONS – you are on your way to enhancing your career path! Your next step is to face your current employer and resign without harming working partnerships with your superiors, clients and colleagues.

But relax, your professional recruiter will assist you in drafting your resignation letter and coach you on how to handle the meeting with your manager. You will need to advise your manager that your decision is firm and final and that you are already committed to your new employer. State your gratitude for the opportunity given by your former manager as well as the former company.

Be cautious not to fall in the trap of discussing anything other than your resignation. Employers will try to entice you into discussions of counter/buyback offers. BEWARE!
