During your final few weeks or days at your current job, you can help your company with the transition by handing over any work that is in progress. Understanding the best ways to handle work after resigning can help you maintain a good relationship with your former employer which will support your search for another job. To ensure a smooth transition for your replacement, be sure to document your daily duties, ongoing projects, and any relevant resources and contacts. If you are open to helping with the recruitment and training of your replacement, that is a great option if appropriate. Ask your boss if they would be willing to be a reference for future jobs. If for whatever reason your boss is not willing to be a reference for you, consider asking another supervisor or even a colleague, as a future employer may be happy to chat with anyone who can confirm your previous duties. It’s good to ask at this time as it makes it easier to reach out when you do need a reference down the track. Check your contract and see what they are required to pay you. Your employer may have to pay out your entitlements such as accumulated annual leave, long service leave or payment in lieu of notice (if they waived your notice period.)

It might be something you wish to discuss with your mental health supports too, particularly if the experience was negative. Reflecting on a negative experience at work can also help you to identify what you do or don’t want in a job or workplace in the future. Try to avoid speaking poorly about your previous workplace at your new job or online - you never know who knows who. It could be helpful to take some time to think about how you want to respond to a potential employer if they ask you why you left. Try to be as honest as you can whilst remaining professional and stick to the positive experiences you had in that job.
