How to Write the Perfect Resignation Letter
How to Write the Perfect Resignation Letter
• Resignation letters should ideally only be a page in length.
• Submit a printed hardcopy of your resignation letter instead of emailing it. Besides being more professional, it gives you and your soon-to-be ex-company physical evidence in case of any possible disputes that might arise.
• Do not include any derogatory or negative comments in the resignation letter. Even if you’re dying to tell your boss what a self-righteous prick he or she is, explicitly writing it in the resignation letter will not only make you look unprofessional, it might even land you into legal trouble.
• The resignation letter should include a brief explanation of why you are leaving the company. However, keep in mind the previous guideline, especially if the main reason why you’re quitting is because your boss is a self-righteous prick.
• It is good etiquette in the letter to thank your employer and boss for the opportunities that you’ve been given in the company.
• Do take note that most companies require you to serve notice ranging from a few weeks to even two months. This is important in the event that you already have a new job offer lined up. Communicate with your new employers the amount of notice you need to give and include the exact date of when you are resigning from your current company in your resignation letter. Remember to fulfil your mandatory notice period and ensure that it does not clash with the start date of your next job.
• If you would like a testimonial from your boss, it is best to ask from it in person rather than requesting for it in the resignation letter. However, keep in mind that your boss is not obligated to give you one, so don’t hound him or her.
