Once you have accepted a job offer we will take you through the resignation process. It is as important to get this part of the process right as your initial application. Only when you have your offer in writing, stating the salary and terms and conditions agreed, and have accepted it, do you resign from your current post.
This is usually done formally in writing. It only needs to be a letter simply stating the post you are resigning from and your intended date of leaving.
You may be asked your reasons for moving, so be prepared. Often your current employer will offer you more money or additional responsibility to entice you to stay. This is known as "the counter offer". Be prepared for this and remind yourself of the reasons you began seeking a new position in the first place. More often than not, the offer of a higher salary will not give you the changes you want and will frequently lead to thoughts of "why didn't they pay me this before?".
Once you have formally submitted your resignation, ensure that you do all you can to make the transition as smooth as possible. Remember, the people you work with or the company you are leaving could be clients in your new job or a future role in the AV industry.
