How do you resign from your current employer and leave on the best of terms?

Resigning from an architecture job does not need to become dramatic. The aim is simple: communicate clearly, respect your notice period and leave the relationship intact.

Stephen Drew, Tara Cull and Will Ridgway discuss how to resign from an architecture job properly, including accepting a new offer, handing in notice, managing emotion, planning a handover and leaving on good terms.

The conversation covers:

• What to check before handing in your notice
• How to speak to your current employer respectfully
• Why notice periods and handovers matter
• How to manage guilt, emotion and counteroffers
• How to protect your reputation in a small industry
