Ready to take the next step in your career? Not quite sure how to have -that- conversation with your boss? Remember these 7 things to help your resignation discussion go as smoothly as possible. 1. Timing matters: Request a private meeting with your supervisor at a time convenient for the both of you. Be sure to allow enough time for a genuine discussion to be had. 2. Stay professional: Approach the discussion with a positive and professional attitude. Express your gratitude for the opportunities and experiences you’ve had. 3. Be transparent: Share your reasons for resigning honestly and respectfully. Focus on your career goals and personal growth rather than any negative aspects. 4. Listen and engage: Let your supervisor respond and ask questions. Engage in a productive dialogue to address any concerns or questions they might have. 5. Offer to assist in transition: If possible, express your willingness to help with a smooth transition. Discuss your notice period and how you can ensure a seamless handover of responsibilities. 6. Stand by your decision: If you are committed to resigning, it’s best not to leave the door open for counter-offer discussions. In our experience, that makes the whole process quite messy. Be (respectfully) firm in your decision to leave the business. 7. Future connections: Discuss how you can maintain professional relationships with colleagues and supervisors even after your departure. Networking is a powerful tool in your career journey. Leaving a job is a significant step, and handling the resignation discussion thoughtfully can leave a positive and lasting impression.

Does meeting in person matter? In a world increasingly dominated by virtual meetings and remote work, the value of in-person interactions cannot be overstated. Visiting a client’s office deepens your understanding of their work environment and culture and allows a deeper connection with their leadership team. As a candidate, you’re going to spend a significant portion of your professional life in the office, even in a hybrid work setup, so it’s important you make sure it’s the right fit. We believe that these face-to-face interactions are invaluable, and strongly encourage candidates to suggest an in-person office meeting rather than online. We’d love to know what you think- does office culture matter in an increasingly digital world? #recruitment #riskandcompliance #compliancejobs Contact Dylan Mountford if you’re keen to make a move in the Risk & Compliance space.
