Resignation & Counter Offers

Resignation

No matter how much you want to leave your current position, resigning can be a difficult and

stressful task. However, there are steps you can take to minimize the anxiety. First and foremost,

your resignation should come in the form of a letter. Putting your thoughts in a letter will help

reduce anxiety and is also the most professional way to handle the process. Your resignation letter

will become part of your personnel file. The letter should be courteous, positive and decisive, leaving

no room for counteroffer discussion. (See example below) Secondly, give a fair and professional

notice. Two weeks is typically an appropriate time frame for you to wrap up any loose ends and for

the company to put a plan in place regarding your replacement. Consulting with your Ambrion

recruiter will help alleviate some of the stress associated with this process and assure the process is

handled with the utmost professionalism. At the end of the day we want to maintain positive

relationships with all those we have worked with in the past. You never know when one of these

relationships will cycle back into your professional life. It is imperative that they remember how

professionally you handled yourself.
