Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

After much consideration, she decided to hand in her resignation and pursue a new career path.

If employees are dissatisfied with their working conditions, they may choose to hand in their notice rather than remain in an unfulfilling role.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: She handed in her job last week.

Say: She handed in her notice last week.

You hand in your NOTICE or resignation, not your 'job'.
