📚 Featured Article: The Perfect Resignation Letter
Resigning from a job can be nerve-wracking, but a well-written resignation letter makes the process smoother for everyone. Here's what you need to know about writing a professional resignation letter that maintains positive relationships.
Give Proper Notice
The standard notice period is two weeks, but senior positions may require more. Check your employment contract for specific requirements. Your resignation letter should clearly state your last day of work, calculated from when you submit the letter.
Keep It Short and Professional
Your resignation letter doesn't need to explain why you're leaving or where you're going. Keep it brief, professional, and positive. Thank your employer for the opportunity and offer to help with the transition. Three to four sentences is perfect.
What NOT to Include
Avoid: complaints about the company, criticism of coworkers or management, detailed reasons for leaving, or emotional language. Remember, this letter will be in your employment file permanently and could be referenced for future background checks.
Timing Is Everything
Submit your resignation letter in person to your direct manager if possible, then follow up with the written version via email. Don't resign on a Friday (gives you no time to discuss) or right before a major deadline. Tuesday through Thursday morning is ideal.
