Resignation Letter Writing

Cover Letter Expert & Career Consultant Shows You How To Write A Resignation Letter

I've included this with the cover letter examples, although it’s hardly a covering letter; but the time will come when you’ve followed all the advice and you’ve secured the new job or career change you really want.

When that happens you’ll have pleasure writing the Resignation Letter as you leave the last job

You might be tempted, but this is not the time to tell them where they can stick their job; you might want a reference from them at some point, so aim to leave on good terms. (They don’t need to know any different).

Everyone Needs A Cover Letter

Everyone who is looking for a job and sends out resumes NEEDS a Cover Letter. It is not an option. As a professional, you should have a cover letter, and you should send one with every resume you submit.

Our Clever Cover Letter professionally introduces you and your resume to an employer and:

• Emphasizes your strengths and qualifications
  
• Demonstrates your intelligence by providing a sample of your written communication skills
  
• Establishes your credibility
  
• Creates your professional image.

The Resignation Letter

It's not easy to come up with any single example of a resignation letter, because like cover letters and CV or resumes, they are highly personal documents. There are some general points you can remember though:

• Address it to your boss by name; you know his name, so use it. Open your letter with Dear Bill, etc.

• Get straight to the point. Your opening sentence (and subject line) should be brief and to the point. Subject: Letter of Resignation

• Briefly state your reasons. Note positive reasons for accepting a new job, not negative reasons for leaving this one.

• Make sure you have tied up the loose ends as far as possible. If you have work that someone will need to take over, write a separate note to go with your resignation later which lists important things like urgent work or passwords.

• State your contractual notice period, but you might offer to stay a reasonable amount of time. More often than not, it won't be taken up, but it is a good parting gesture to make. Could offer some time to train up a replacement which is a good way for your employer to remember you (instead of just walking out).

• Be courteous and professional. Thank your employer for your time with the company, stating how much you appreciate it.

Your resignation can represent a difficult period of time. Writing a resignation letter isn't easy - you need to handle it professionally or it could have a serious impact on your career in the future.
