Frequently asked questions
What should I do before I resign?
Be clear on your decision and timing, plan to tell your manager first, prepare a short and positive message, and get your handover and written resignation ready. This checklist walks through each step.
Should I tell my manager before my colleagues?
Generally yes. Telling your manager first, in a short private conversation, is the most professional approach and avoids them hearing it second-hand.
How much notice do I need to give?
Notice periods vary. Check your employment contract, award or agreement if you are unsure about your required notice period before you commit to a last day.
Do I need to give a reason for resigning?
No. A brief, professional reason is courteous, but you are not obliged to go into detail. Keep it short and positive.
