This is perhaps one of the most difficult, yet crucial stages within the recruitment process. It is also the most emotionally driven stage, that can either make or break your opportunity.
You need to seriously think about why you want to leave. Do not base a decision to resign solely on the premise of earning more money. It will not solve any long-term career issues and may prove detrimental.
Think carefully about the following resignation issues:
1. Counter Offers
Your employer may offer you a salary increase to ‘counter offer’ an employment opportunity. In most cases, the offer can seem too good to refuse. You should make it clear from the outset that ‘counter offers’ are not an option.
It has been statistically proven that counter offers invariably result in a negative cycle. 85% of employees that accept counter offers and so turn down new opportunities find themselves back on the employment market within 6 months.
2. Negotiation
Be prepared to negotiate your notice period. Most clients prefer potential employees to start within 6 weeks from the decision to offer and acceptance.
