I'm wrapping up my first seasonal job, and I'm not sure about the etiquette for leaving. Do I need to provide a two-week notice, or is it different since it's a temporary role? I want to make sure I'm doing this right.
While it's not always necessary to give a two-week notice for a seasonal job, it's generally a good practice and viewed as professional courtesy. When you're ready to move on, it's best to have a conversation with your manager. Let them know about your planned departure, thank them for the opportunity, and ask if they would prefer a written notice. This approach allows your employer to prepare for your departure and find a replacement if necessary, and it can also help maintain good relationships for future opportunities or references. However, rules can vary, and it's always best to read your contract or employee manual or ask your HR department if you're uncertain.
