Resigning from a job in a professional manner

When you take the decision to resign and move on to another job, you might really want to dance your way out of the door, or get your own back by criticising your boss to the whole office. But you need to resist these temptations because in future you might find you’re working with your ex-line manager or other colleagues in a different company.

Letting your manager know

Show courtesy by telling your boss first. Request a meeting to say that you’re leaving, following up soon after with an official letter. Before the meeting with your boss, write a list of ongoing tasks along with status updates and suggestions concerning completion.

Use the meeting to clarify any other points, such as your notice period and leaving date, and how you will inform others (colleagues or external clients, contacts and suppliers). Ask about a reference too; your employer may only supply the most basic type but your line manager might also give you a more personal one. Making sure you get a good one can make subsequent job hunting less stressful.

Preparation

Work out how you can ensure a smooth transition and minimise disruption to your employer. There may be a range of things you can do to hand over professionally, such as completing projects, working out the priorities with your line manager, and leaving clear documentation for the successor in your post concerning processes or software.

Your letter of resignation

Keep your letter short. You don’t need to give lots of explanations or justification for why you’re leaving. Don’t be tempted to address the failings of the company or your boss, either. Instead, thanking your employer for the job and mentioning what you appreciated about it is a graceful touch. Here’s an idea of what to include:

First paragraph – the basics
Inform the employer that you wish to resign and confirm the agreed final date at work.
Second paragraph – thank your employer
Mention any particular career-building projects you worked on or opportunities to develop skills and contribute to the employer’s goals and successes. You can also mention your appreciation at being able to work in a great team.
Third paragraph – handover
State your willingness to finish existing projects and hand over your work smoothly.

Complete the notes below.

Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the text for each answer.

Write your answers in boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet.

The best way to resign

Avoid all 1 to resign in an angry way. Instead follow this procedure:

Arrange a meeting with the boss to:

mention any projects which are underway and give ideas for their 2 .
discuss how much notice you need to give before you go.
request information on the type of 3 you will receive.

Steps you can take before you leave

Work to cause as little 4 as possible to the organisation.
Make sure your successor has adequate guidance on the organisation's systems

In the resignation letter:

avoid mentioning any 5 in the organisation.
show appreciation for aspects of the job, e.g., the chance to improve your 6 .
indicate your wish to leave everything in good order

Speaking Test Tips

Speak clearly and at a natural pace

Note for Test Day

The Speaking test is conducted separately from the other three skills and may be scheduled on a different day. You will be notified of your Speaking test time when you register for the IELTS exam.

The test is recorded for monitoring and remarking purposes. The examiner will take notes during your test, but this is normal procedure and not a cause for concern.
