Giving notice of your plans to leave an employer for a position elsewhere is a delicate task that must be carried out with professionalism and the thinking that if for some reason your new position isn't the perfect fit you thought it would be that you have a good possibility of rehire with your former employer. So to maintain a positive image and remain elidgible for potentiality being rehired if need be here are some tips to help you achieve just that.
1. For non-managerial or support staff 2 weeks is the typically acceptable timeframe and for managerial positions 30 days and executives 90 days which will give your employer adequate time to find a suitable replacement.
2. If you choose to participate in and your employer offers an exit interview always speak positively about the employer, supervisors and fellow staff. Although it may seem the time to air all those grievances if you want a chance tpbe rehired it would jeopardize the possibility.
3. Finish any special assignments unless specifically asked not to because your predecessor will most likely have to start from scratch anyway and there is no need to dump a halfway completed assignment on the new coming replacement whom will most likely already be nervous and under great stress.
4. Ask if you would be elidgible for rehire if you chose to return it couldn't hurt.
5. Send your direct supervisor and human resources representative a thank you letter for giving you the opportunity to work as a member of their team this will help greatly if your resume ever crosses their desk again as an applicant for a job opening.
