How do you resign from your current employer and leave on the best of terms?

How do you resign from your current employer and leave on the best of terms?

Resigning from an architecture job does not need to become dramatic. The aim is simple: communicate clearly, respect your notice period and leave the relationship intact.

Stephen Drew, Tara Cull and Will Ridgway discuss how to resign from an architecture job properly, including accepting a new offer, handing in notice, managing emotion, planning a handover and leaving on good terms.

The conversation covers:

  • What to check before handing in your notice
  • How to speak to your current employer respectfully
  • Why notice periods and handovers matter
  • How to manage guilt, emotion and counteroffers
  • How to protect your reputation in a small industry
