PROVIDE ENOUGH NOTICE TO THE COMPANY
If you’ve been working in a particularly poor environment, it may be tempting to run out the door even before your written resignation has finished printing. This may not bode well for future recommendations and could leave your name tarnished within the industry. Instead, give ample notice and find a mutually acceptable window of time in which your position will be filled. While two weeks is standard, some positions may require more or less time. It’s best not to drag your exit out too long, though.
AVOID MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS
When discussing your reasons for leaving, be diplomatic but honest. Similarly, do not talk negatively about your former job to your new employer; you may inadvertently portray yourself as a disgruntled employee. Furthermore, word travels fast within many industries, and a
loose tongue may compromise future networking opportunities.
CONTINUE TO DO YOUR JOB
Giving notice is not a ticket to goofing off or participating in an office vacation. Slacking off damages goodwill and is a surefire way to burn some bridges. Put in your best effort until the day you leave the company.
MAINTAIN DECORUM, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT YOUR IDEA TO LEAVE
Being fired or downsized can hurt, particularly when you thought you were doing a good job. Remain cool, and always be professional. How you conduct yourself when facing adversity could speak well to your future employers.
William Shakespeare said that a person is remembered for his entrances and exits, and this is particularly true in the workforce. When it is time to leave an employment position for a new one, do so with grace and humility.

Once you are prepared to accept another job offer, meet with your current boss as soon as possible. It is never a good idea to allow your boss to find about such a decision through workplace rumors.
