Before you quit your job, you have to think twice. Don't go on a whim. Matter your decision by taking the time to weigh the pros and cons. It is also imperative that you consider whether you can afford to leave to look for another job or whether it is better to look while you are employed. Once you have made your decision, all you have to do is get started. Here are some tips on how to do this:

Give two weeks notice

This is the norm. It may be difficult to fill your position in such a short period of time, but you can rest easy knowing that you've come your way.

Notify your immediate supervisor first

Simple question of politeness. He does not have to learn it from his own superior and even less from one of your colleagues with whom you have previously confided.

Schedule a meeting with the latter

Depending on the importance of your job, it's probably better to meet your boss in his office than to break the news to him in the hallway, for two reasons. On the one hand, by asking him to meet you in his office when he has the chance, you let him know that you have something important to discuss and he will be less taken aback by your announcement. On the other hand, if he wants to make you a counter-offer, he'll be more comfortable doing it in private.

Submit a resignation letter

No need to write a novel. Simply indicate your date of departure by expressing your gratitude for having been with the company. You can modestly mention a few key events in your time with the company: the time you landed a contract, which resulted in you being promoted. Thus, if your immediate supervisor or the human resources manager were to leave in turn, the new managers in place would still be able to give you references.

Help with the transition

Don't leave your coworkers or boss in a mess. Do your best to properly train the person who will replace you to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Obviously, if you leave your company, it is usually because you are dissatisfied with your working conditions. You might be bitter, but don't ruin your reputation by slamming the door. Instead, resign in a professional manner which will ensure you get the best possible references. Your last days may seem endless to you, but they are in a way an investment in your future.
