How to properly quit your job

So how do you put in your 2 week notice without burning any bridges? The most proper behavior is to always stay professional. You want to write resignation letter and give at least two weeks. If anyone gives you the hard time you just have to be a better person in all scenarios  For example, some people may be happier that you're leaving since you didn't do a great job in the first place, don't let that bother you, after all you are leaving for a better opportunity. When I left my previous job as a copywriter, many employees who wanted my position were eager for me to leave and I felt a sense of desperation. Many people showed their true characters. I also found out that many people were seeking another job as well and exchanged their contact information with me. Let's discuss the most anxious part of the whole process. Meeting with your boss to discuss your resignation. Well, here's my advice: Keep it concise and positive! Your boss may value you enough to offer a counteroffer for you to stay. Make sure to give warm thanks and explain that you would like to stay in touch. You never know. Don't burn your bridges! Also make sure to thank and say goodbye to all your co-workers.
