A statement of intent that you will be leaving your job
Writing a Resignation Letter
Ashdown People
Should you write a resignation letter?
A resignation letter is the professional way to officially inform your employer that you’re leaving your role at their company. This allows your employer to commence the process of hiring a replacement to take on your responsibilities.
You should provide your employer with a resignation regardless of whether you’re an executive in a corporate environment, or a cashier at a supermarket.
What your resignation letter should include
Your resignation letter doesn’t have to go into a huge amount of detail but there are some key things you need to cover. A resignation letter should include the following:
The date of your last day on the job
Gratitude to your employer for hiring you
How you will help with the transition
Happy to stay in touch
Best wishes for the future of the company
What to avoid
It’s likely your employer will store your resignation letter with other employee files, and it may be referred to in the future if another company requests a reference. Some things are best said in person and others left not said at all. The specifics of why you are leaving do not need to be included in your resignation letter.
Many people who sit down to write a resignation letter think it’s the time to air their grievances with their manager or company. But resignation is neither the time nor place for anything negative. Instead, an exit interview is the opportunity to provide your manager with an explanation of why you’re resigning from your position and include helpful tips for your replacement.
Your resume is your most important tool when applying for a job. It doesn't matter how qualified you are, or how much experience you have - if your resume is poorly presented or badly written, you're going to have trouble getting the job you want - or even an interview.
You never get a second chance to make a great first impression during your job interview, so being well prepared is the first step to appearing relaxed and confident in a job interview.
A cover letter should be an engaging summary of your resume and not simply say the same thing in a different format. Aim to tell a story which shows that you understand the role and states why you would be great fit for the company.
At the beginning of your job search you need to get into a positive frame of mind: When you have a job, you must find a way to balance all these things. It is no different when you are looking for a job. Setting goals and sticking to a routine is essential to achieving many things in life, including finding a job.
No company likes to deal with turnover, but it’s an employees’ market in many industries and jobs aren’t hard to find. The process of employing someone takes time. In business, time is money.
Good for your ego, but bad for your career!
