There’s a saying that you cannot achieve new results if you do not change your current actions. In the place of work this can mean that if you have learnt everything from your current job or you are decided to change your life in a new way then you might have to leave your current job. Now you have been employed for some time at your current job, it must have contributed things to your life, made an impact, so while you resign it is important that you do it in a way where you do not create any problems. It is customary and in many places also mandatory to give a two weeks notice before resignation.
This two weeks notice letter very important as it gives you and your employer time to do the needful. You can finish the work at hand and help smooth out the transactions and it gives your employer the time to find a proper replacement for you. In doing so you get the opportunity to resign with proper ethics, with favorable impressions, and professionally. Now every company has their policies, maybe some companies will not wait for the two weeks and approve the resignation immediately as soon as they receive the resignation letter from you. But most the companies will appreciate your two week’s notice of resignation as it will help them to select the right candidate for the position you are which will be vacant after your resigning, so two-week provides enough time to the employer to accommodate your vacancy.
A good two weeks notice letter can help you get a good recommendation letter from your current employer. The letter can be a hard copy or an email, what is important however is that you mention the reason for your resignation and what will be your last working day in that organization or company. A good notice letter will be courteous and should show gratitude. You can write about how the experience help you improve and learn and grow. It is advisable that you do not remark negatively about the company or any co-workers, it is essential to keep good relationships with everyone in the corporate world as you would never know who you can come across in the future.
