You found a new job and now it’s time to let everyone know.  Your first step is to tell your employer. Writing a letter of resignation does not have to be complex, but you want to make sure to do it in a professional manner. Here are some easy steps to follow:

1. Write the letter to your immediate supervisor and state that you are resigning from the position of (your title) effective (your last day of work.)  You do not have to say anything about your new position.  It’s up to you.

2. Thank your employer for the opportunity even if you are happy you are leaving. You can mention specific items you’ve learned, if you wish.

3. Let the company know you will be happy to help with the transition.

4. End your letter cordially. For example, I wish the company great success; I’ve been proud to have been a part of this company’s growth; I am thankful for all the opportunities I was given etc.

Keep your letter short and concise.  If possible, deliver it to your supervisor in person. Once you have discussed this with your boss, ask when you can let your colleagues know and ask about any benefit questions etc,

 Now you are ready to move on!
