how do you tell an employer your quitting...?

Question

how do you tell an employer your quitting...?

Answer 1

Let her know several weeks in advance and provide an acceptable reason such as you want to pursue other opportunities, returning to school, transportation issues, etc. Don't speak ill of your co workers. She will probably need to replace you and that might take time to find someone qualified to do your job.

Answer 2

You just tell them you have been offered another opportunity... you want to pursue other goals or whatever the reason... they'll get over it people come and go all the time from most jobs.



If shes like a 2nd mom she will be pleased for you to move on... most people applaud self improvement... if you two are that close she may even help you in whatever you choose to do ???

Answer 3

First, make sure you have something else lined up, you never quit a job without having a signed offer for another one.



Next, tell them that it's been a great learning experience, but you have discovered an opportunity that will enrich you personally and professionally. If you don't pursue it, you will deeply regret it.



Lastly, ask them if they will be a good reference for you. If they say yes, then ask for it politely in writing. People can "say" anything as you're headed out the door. But something in writing, they cannot take back later.

Answer 4

Write a polite letter giving two weeks' notice and explain how much you have enjoyed working there. Hand the letter to her and tell her "I'm so sad to give you my notice."



You're very wise to not burn your bridges.

Answer 5

Explain to them your situation, and usually they'll be understanding and even try to cooperate with you to accommodate any needs that you have, so that you might even consider staying.



But if you really do have to terminate your position, still talk with your supervisor and let them know what's going on, and always, ALWAYS give a 2 week's notice in the form of a letter. This gives them plenty of time to hire and train a replacement, and it looks very good if you need them for a reference to another job. This is also one of the best ways to ensure that you are welcome back at a later date. Jumping out on a moment's notice with no warning is a big no-no.

Answer 6

Tell her you're trying other avenues in your life to see if you could possibly move forward with something else. Tell her you are a little nervous and have been giving it lots of thought because you don't want to burn any bridges and you've enjoyed your working relationship with her. Also, put it in writing and don't forget to give 2 weeks notice.



Good luck

Answer 7

The professional way to tell your employer you are leaving is in writing.



Simply say, "I am submitting my resignation today. Thank you for the opportunity to work here," and hand them a short note that reads:



Your Name

Your address

Your city, state and zip code



Date



Recipient

Title

Company

Address



Dear Owner or Supervisor's Name:



I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as JOB TITLE at NAME OF COMPANY. I have learned a great deal about NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS during my time here and will always value this experience.



However, the time has come for me to move on. This letter serves as my formal resignation as JOB TITLE My last day will be TWO WEEKS FROM THE DAY YOU RESIGN



I truly appreciate your guidance during my time employed. I will do my best to ensure a smooth transition and look forward to your direction to make that happen.



Sincerely,



YOUR NAME







Keep in mind that your employer may decide to let you go immediately. But the professional thing to do is give two week's notice.



Good luck to you
