The Right Way to Resign

This Career-Op column from November 1998 is the most popular page on my web site. Since it is so popular, I figured it could use another mention here in My Word.

Even in this slow job market, many people are looking for answers on how to resign a from a job without burning all their bridges behind them.

From the column...
