What's The Best Way To Notify Your Employer That Your Quiting?

Answer 1

Giving a two week notice is always nice. That way you don't burn any bridges, and when you need to put that employer on your resume, you can do it with confidence. If you want to use them as a reference, upon informing them that you are leaving, let them know the good things (if any) that you enjoyed while you worked with them. Leave on a positive note. It will pay off in the future. It's not necessary to give a two weeks notice, but it gives them time to look for a replacement and move through the transition.

Answer 2

Give 2 weeks notice.
Type a simple letter that basically says "This a formal resignation, and two weeks notice," don't type out a reason why you are quitting. Ask your manager for a minute of their time, explain that you are submitting your 2 week notice, and hand them the letter. This way, you have done everything by the books, and no one can blame you for anything. This also greatly increases your chances of getting a letter of recommendation from your employer. Your new job may also call your previous employers and ask a couple questions. All they can ask is if the dates of employment you provided are accurate, and if they would hire you again. Formally submitting a 2 week's notice will again increase your chances of past jobs saying positive things.

Answer 3

The way you leave this job is probably going to effect you getting your next job! Employers always want to know how long your last job lasted and your reasons for quiting! Most of the time they'll even check with your last employer! The "right" way is to give a two week notice and work it through, then you have a good job reference for the new job you're applying for! That's the "right" way! If you don't care,other than that, just don't show up for work! don't call, don't do anything! They'll get a hold of you and when you answer the phone they'll tell you , "you're fired"! There that solved that problem didn't it?

Answer 4

Just type up a letter of resignation saying you will be leavin in excatly two weeks, its called giving some one a two weeks notice. Let your employer know that you will be leaving the job soon, but always give a two weeks notice, its look a lot better than just quitting, after all you never know when you might need your employers help one day, either for your job back or a recommendation for another job.

Answer 5

I am assuming that you will be casting around to expand your network of contacts in order to line up something more suitable. Word always gets back to one's employer anyway, unless you have made it a point to absolutely conceal where you are currently working from everyone you are talking to these days. Your employer will find out anyway, and probably won't let you know that he or she knows. So just lining up your next workplace is one way of effectively letting them know you're quitting, in a sense! But it also depends on the size of the company you are working with now, and how you want to utilize that relationship later on. Some company bureaucracies are big, and word doesn't get around efficiently in them as in a small business. If you want to use the relationship constructively down the road, be as businesslike as possible and give them two weeks' notice. Get over the fear, find an appropriate moment, and sit down and look them in the eye and tell them. If the level of trust at your workplace is so low that you're afraid such notice will result in an instant, unplanned two-week vacation without pay, surely you can line up temp work if there's no money in the bank. Cash in the bank has a great way of ensuring peace of mind. Two weeks' worth of grocery and basics will eliminate the fear; if it turns into a without-pay situation, the emotional time to heal is going to prove valuable to you anyway. The most valuable subject to study while you're between employers? PERSONAL FINANCE. Read a book entitled The Cashflow Quadrant by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Or ANY of the books he has written, or that are in his extended "Rich Dad" group of books. Also, The Currency Of The Future, by Brad DeHaven.

Answer 6

As the others have recommended it is best for you to write a notice to resign or quit giving ample time (two weeks) and then presenting the letter to your boss face to face. Have a copy of the letter for your files as well. Your new employer will appreciate this as well in that they will know you have a sense of loyalty and would extend the same respects towards them if the case should arise that you are quitting them in the future.

Answer 7

Tell them in person if at all possible and write a letter of resignation. Be sure to be polite the whole way through the process, even if you're not happy there. You never know if you'll have to deal with that boss again in the future - so don't burn any bridges, no matter how tempting it may be.

Answer 8

Make sure you have a job to go to (if you need money, anyway) first and then put in a 2 week resignation letter explaining why you are quitting and when your last day of work will be. Don't be a jerk about it, especially if you want to you them as a reference later on.

Answer 9

I think the best to do it if your employer really needs you is to tell them two or three weeks in advance so that they have a couple weeks to replace you. Maybe you could say....Hi Sir/Mam i'm putting in my 2 week notice sorry if this comes at a bad time.

Answer 10

A letter, it goes like this:

"I regret to inform you that as of today, X/X/X, I will be unable to continue in my position at ABC Company. My decision was not arrived at lightly as I have greatly enjoyed my work here. However, another opportunity has arisen that I feel I should take advantage of at this time.

I wish you the best of luck at ABC. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to work together again. I hope that I may utilize you as a reference in the future.

Sincerely,
