I know that if you're leaving a job that you
haven't really been enjoying, you might have these
visions of walking in and you know, quitting in a
blaze of glory. And handing in this letter
of resignation that tells them they're jerks...
Hello, my friends and welcome to my channel where
I help you slay your career and cultivate the
successful life you deserve. For the best career
advancement advice in cyberspace, make sure you
tap that subscription button and the notification
bell. I release two new videos every week. You're
here because you need to know how to write a
letter of resignation. So congratulations, you are
moving on! And I hope moving up into your dream
job. In today's video, I'm going to walk you
through a very simple, easy to use template to use
for your letter of resignation. So let's not dilly
dally about it, tap that like button. And let's
just jump straight into it. The first thing that
you need to have on your letter of resignation is
the date that you're handing in your letter of
resignation. If that is today, we're right down
today's date. If it's tomorrow, put tomorrow's
date on there, then you are going to put your
managers name, so you will address it to your
manager. If you want to be all formal about it,
you can say dear Bob, or whatever your manager's
name is, or you can say attention Bob, or you can
just say, Bob, and then you're going to get into
the part where it starts to feel a little bit
overwhelming. But I promise you it's not you're
going to open up your letter of resignation with
saying you're going to say I am providing you my
notice of resignation effective on and then the
date that will be your last date of work at that
company. If you are giving two weeks notice from
today, it is going to be the date two weeks from
today. I hope that makes sense. If you need help
with the numbers, just drop a comment and down
below the next thing that you can have on your
resignation letter, but it's absolutely not
necessary. So I'm going to leave this one up to
you. But your HR team is going to ask you for your
reason for leaving. And you can include a reason
here doesn't mean you need to be explicit about
and about how you're leaving because your boss was
a jerk, and they don't pay you nearly enough money
to put up with their ish. If you do want to make
reference to a reason for leaving, you can
actually just say something as simple as you're
leaving to pursue another opportunity and just
leave it right there. No matter what if you are
providing a reason for leaving, I do want you to
make sure that you're keeping it professional and
respectful. I know that if you're leaving a job
that you haven't really been enjoying, you might
have these visions of walking in and you know,
quitting in a blaze of glory and Hannigan, this
letter of resignation that tells them they're
jerks, but that's not really going to help you in
your career. So don't do that just you know, use a
template that I'm giving you right now, no matter
what the next thing that you're going to put in
your letter of resignation is you are going to
thank them for the opportunity. And this could be
something as simple as saying I am grateful for
the opportunities that I had while I was employed
at and then the company name. Now if you are
completely not thankful, do not put this don't put
anything that isn't genuine. But I do think this
is a great way to close. Even if it hasn't been
the best job that you've ever had. It wasn't your
favorite job that you ever had. Maybe there was
even things you didn't really like about it.
Hopefully you at least learn something you have
the opportunity to discover and see that this
wasn't really the job or the company for you. So
at least have a little bit of gratitude towards
that if you can, and let them know, I think that
this is actually a really important way to end
your letter of resignation. Because the
professional world is really, really small, like
shockingly small, and you never know when you're
going to bump into these people down the road in
your career. And better yet, you never know when
one of those people are going to be at a company
that you would really like a referral for that new
we're simply going to sign your name and that my
friend completes your letter of resignation. But
one thing before you go, you probably need to do
more than just hand it to your boss without saying
anything, it's probably going to have a
conversation. If you've never quit a job before
you're just nervous about it. It's been a while
you know it's not something that we do every
single day at least I hope not then I want you to
go and check out this video right now which is
going to walk you through the process including
preparing you for the conversation that you're
going to have with your boss when you hand in your
resignation letter if this video was helpful if
you're going to use this template if you haven't
already consider subscribing As always, thank you
so much for watching. I will see you in the next
video. Bye for now.
