Congratulations Messages for New Job

It’s so fun to share in our loved ones’ happy times — and a new job is no exception! Whether you want to wish a co-worker luck on a new endeavor or congratulate a friend on their newfound employment, we’ll help you with different ways on how to congratulate someone for a new job.

Acknowledging that someone’s landed a new job doesn’t have to feel like a job; we’ll make it easy for you!

Congratulations

This is probably the most obvious theme to include in a congratulation message for a new job, and there are lots of different ways to say it. We like pairing a simple congratulation with a little joke or some kind words about the card recipient, like this:

Congratulations & Kindness

To a Friend or Family Member

It makes me so happy to watch you chase your dreams (and catch them)! Congratulations on your new job!
Is it dorky to say I’m proud of you? Because I totally am. Congratulations!
All your hard work has paid off. Congratulations on your new job!
I’m so happy to hear about your new job — you deserve it! Congrats!

To a Co-Worker

You did great things here, and you’ll do great things there. Congratulations!
Your new place couldn’t have picked a better person to join them. Congratulations!
I’ve really, really loved working with you, and I’m so happy you got the job you worked so hard for. Congratulations!
Your work ethic and positive attitude have been an asset to this team and will take you far in your new venture. Congratulations!

Congratulations & Humor

To a Friend or Family Member

Congratulations on your new job! Now you can buy me lots of awesome stuff! (Get yourself something pretty, too.)
You got a new job! So, drinks are on you next time, right? Congrats!
Hellz yes. Congratulations on the new job!

To a Co-Worker

Congratulations on getting the hell outta here!
Congrats on the new job! Good luck finding co-workers as weird as us.
Way to go! Looks like you’ll be goofing off at a much more impressive job from now on.

Good Luck

You obviously want your friend or co-worker to totally rock their new job, and here are a few ways to tell them this:

Best of luck to you in your new job!
Good luck to a good friend!
With skills like yours, you don’t need luck — but good luck in your new job, anyway!
Good luck in your new venture!
I’m wishing you lots of success and happiness in your new job. Best of luck to you!

I’ll Miss You

Okay, so you’re happy for your co-worker, but you’re also kinda bummed they won’t be working with you anymore? We have just the right words for that. Here ya go!

Now who am I supposed to ‘not-work’ at work with?! I’m gonna miss you!
This place won’t be the same without you. Your new co-workers are so lucky!
It’s hard to see you go, but I can’t wait for you to start your next adventure.
Well, looks like I’m going to be the only normal person around here now. I’ll miss you!
I’m so happy and so sad at the same time! Good-bye and good luck!

That’s it! Congrats — you’ve just been promoted to Expert in Writing ‘New Job’ Card Messages! We’d wish you luck, but with everything you’ve just learned, you won’t need it.
