Write a positive letter.
Do not use your resignation letter to list grievances or to make negative comments. I would have my resignation letter focus only on the positive side of my work experience. The content of your resignation letter should then be the content of your announcement meeting.
Schedule an announcement meeting.
Ask your employer or appropriate supervisor for a meeting in his/her office. I would say mornings are usually best. Announce or confirm your resignation. Offer your resignation letter at the conclusion of the meeting.
Behave in a professional manner.
- Keep your announcement meeting brief. I would try to remain positive, calm, and resolute.
- Beyond resigning with dignity, your goal is to leave a positive image of yourself to help you retain important professional contacts that may be helpful in future employment searches.
