Anyone from EYP…I’m applying to “Strategy & Transactions Working Capital Consultant/Senior”. I have the experience, six sigma, PMP etc stated in the description. How can I proactively position myself to earn the interview? I’m afraid I might get auto rejected because I have way more than 2 years experience, but I know industry experience is weighted different. Appreciate any help, insight, or anyone willing to chat.

The professional and respectable move is to sit down with your direct supervisor and tell them in person. You send the official resignation letter after you leave the meeting.

No. It’s been a few years in a toxic work environment thank you. I don’t owe a stranger an explanation. I’m happy 😊

Seriously? The way companies treat employees and people talk about the "professional" "respectful" way? I'd send a postcard from Cabo saying "I'm out dude, Peace. Live long and prosper"
I didn't renew my annual contract, sent four months late. When they asked me to send it in, by email, I, by email, said I wasn't intending to return. This was three months after the last contract ended with no guarantee (academia).
Two things:
- don't burn bridges if you may want to cross them again
- the level of respect earned is a good way to decide on the level of respect given
I am not a "bridge burner" , so I would do a face to face meeting, then follow up with it in writing.
If you knew you were leaving, why didn't you submit a 2-week notice?
I did
early to job
The professional approach is to sit with you manager and state today is your last day with the company. You have completed whatever tasks or projects you had assigned to you. If not you have prepared the proper notes for your replacement to accomplish the goal.
Otherwise hopefully you have cleared out you desk/office, send them an email stating your no longer with the company.
Also know that others move to different companies, including management. Don't burn bridges.
Before you resign, have you thought about asking for a package? given the market and cost savings measures, I help people do this every day.....if not, I would always do it in person or if you're remote, via zoom/phone. Then follow it up in an email. You never know when your paths would cross again and leaving in a professional way speaks volumes.
Hahaha. All I did was send a text message three days before I stop going to work just payback for how they treat us medical professionals.
Hi
You know what, when you can't be nice at unpleasant workplace, but just act like one. That will help you :)
Did you already pack your locker/desk? I hope so, as you may not be able to gain access if you send an email from home. Since the days of companies/managers respecting the two-week notices are long dead, I suggest that you spend a couple of days at your desk to use the company's MS Word Editor to do your resume, then email that to your home email address as well as look to see what is out there. If you can't, then go in and pack up. Put your belongings in your car, return to send an email to say this my last hour as I'm leaving. If you do say 'my last day', you might be expected to do some work. Go to HR, not your manager, and give them your ID badge, or whatever identification was issued to you, and leave. You might be chased only to do an exit survey, or to give more of a reason (or worse be given a lecture) as to why. Decide if you want to do it there or from home, but I think HR will want more detail to try to fix the problem, or have you do some paperwork, such as fill out a form to send your final W2 and paycheck (I did). Good Luck!
Should be in writing, dated, with proper notice. But it would be good to tell your manager, then send an email.
PIPS are not fun hand your notice via email its in writing and its documented. Chances are they will pay you out to finish things up early to avoid any further stress.
Look at it this way turn it on its head its an opportunity for a fresh start. Not worth your boot leather.
Just make sure it's the right move for you. You could be jumping into the fire. Good luck, with your move.. no ones hiring now days. Why is there an opening anyway?? It's not about how you leave, but why are you leaving

Ty I have a new job. :)
Most of us were taught to give at least two weeks notice for a few reasons. It does the company time to find a replacement. You could change your mind and rescind your resignation, or your new position fell through. IMO, the biggest one of all, you might want to return to your former position. If you discover the grass isn't any greener or just needed a break, an organization might be hire you back if you departed on good terms.
If the work environment was disrespectful etc just leave. They didn't trat you right so in this case why give them any notice?
All you have to do is, Go in person to HR and hand them your resignation. Then, send it to Manager, Supervisor by email.
I always do what's best for ME. Then again I am in one of those states where they advertise "we can fire you for any reason, any time, with/without notice . . . " blah, blah. So, that being the case they are lucky to get anything from me.
I quit Staples in a weird way I suppose
I told the easy Tech manager that today is my last day I will not be working with Staples
A couple days later Staples called me tell me I was still on the schedule. It was the funniest thing that ever happened when it came to me leaving a job
