Effective Resignations Why give up a perfectly good job? You’ve been there too long? Getting stale.? You need a new challenge! The decision to resign is an important part in the management of your career, Resignation is not a decision that should be taken lightly. It needs a lot of careful thought and preparation. Handled correctly, it can show a positive and mature personal approach to your career development. If you approach it clumsily, negative feelings and recriminations can occur. Resignation is a personal thing and everyone will have his or her own individual reasons. Whatever the reason(s), the situation needs to be handled with care if it is to leave all parties involved satisfied.
