About Sarah
I’m a Senior HR Manager and Career Strategist who specializes in one thing: The Exit Strategy. Most people know how to get a job, but few know how to leave one professionally. Over the past 12 years in HR, I've:
- Processed over 1,500 resignations and conducted countless exit interviews.
- Helped companies reduce voluntary turnover by 15% through better offboarding.
- Advised C-level executives on sensitive employee relations and conflict resolution.
My focus is practical, not fluffy. I use my "Insider HR" knowledge to help you:
- Write resignation letters that protect your legal rights and reputation.
- Navigate awkward notice periods and handover processes smoothly.
