How Do You Write A Letter Of Resignation That Doesn Burn Bridges?
Leaving a job can be difficult. Perhaps circumstances such as moving away have forced you to quit. Maybe you have gotten a better job. Or maybe you’re just fed up and don’t want to work – for that boss; at that place; or with those people any more! Regardless of the reason, it’s always good to quit without burning any bridges. You never know when your path may cross with your old boss or company again. Begin your letter by stating how you feel. It sounds weird to say but it helps set the reader’s mind for what is to come: “I write this letter with sadness…” (a letter for quitting when you don’t really want to). “I am excited to tell you I have received a job offer in my chosen field…” (a letter for when your boss knows you have been looking for something in a different field). Make a statement about what has been good at the job. This can be several sentences: “It will be hard to leave ABC Company after 2 years here. I have learned so much about…” Show appreciation for experience
