2 weeks notice

[altered_reality]

I'm contemplating quitting my job soon, it's about time i actually got a better job but because this is my first job i've never handed in a resignation and i was wondering if someone could give me a rough idea of what i should write.

[Department stores *sigh*]

depends on your relationship with the company IMO. i quit burger king and i just wrote a BS letter saying how i had a great time but i gotta move on. For my current job (one and a half weeks left YAY!) i have a great relationship with managment and my super. So i just wrote a one liner saying 'My last day is nov 8th' and i mentioned how great my supervisor was and i handed it to him in person. Whole letter was about 3 sentences long.

It totally depends on how you want to leave, did you like the job? or the company? all of these things should help you write the letter. However a basic letter is below (written if you liked the company). Keep it short and sweet and to the facts... they dont need a novel, its just a formaility anyway...ending the paper trail if you will.

Date the letter

To whom it may concern,

This is my written notice to inform you of my resignation. My last day of work will be (date). I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank you for the experianced I have gained working for this company.

Yours sincerely,

Yournamehere

If your job is at will (they can fire you without warning or compensation; you can leave without warning-- ie, most jobs) in a relatively small place (small enough that you know the manager/owner, and he knows you), especially if you're working part time, feel free to skip the written part and just tell him

Go as high up as you can; that way if you get a manager or supervisor whinging about your notice period, you can say "Oh but when I told the boss he said that's fine." For the pizza place I gave just 1 week's notice; the manager did not like that at all, but the boss had authorised it so she couldn't do a thing.

To Whom It May Concern:

I regret to inform you that I am putting in my two weeks notice of my resignation, to be effective on --/--/2006. Thank you for the oppurtunity.

Sincerley,

You

You don't really need to explain why you are leaving. It's not like they can tell you no.

To who it may concern.

I'm leaving cuz the job is crap and my manager is a bitch. And ha ha, you can't do anything cuz you've already written and sent my reference to my new boss. Suck it up.

Yours insincerely,

You


Well, probably best not to send that one.

Your resignation letter is also a good time to remind them of the correct address to send your 1040 and other tax forms to. It is possible to get reprints, of course, but it's a hassle.
