How do I approach my boss with my resignation letter? I'm nervous?

JUST DO IT!!!! :-)

Remember this is the first step in your personal growth and development.

Tell your Boss that you are interested in "Pursuing Career Advancement Opportunies" and leave on good terms to preserve your reference for employment purposes.

Give the employer a 2 week notice.

That way if they release you once you present the Resignation Letter they will have to pay you for 2 weeks, thats the Law.

You are NOT the first person to RESIGN from a job! Remember that.

You want to improve your financial situation.

You want to pursue your career interests.

You want career advancement.

Remember as an employee, Employers hire you "AT WILL" that means they can release you or terminate you for ANY reason and WITHOUT notice.

So why should you be concerned about resigning to take a better paying job with better benefits and opportunities?

GOOD LUCK! :-) You'll be fine.

Resignation Letter To Boss

Give his the resignation letter, but the resignation letter should be brief. You don't need to go into explanation but be thank him for the opportunity to work there.

You don't need to tell him why you are leaving, but if you would like to, it's all right. When you hand him the resignation you can tell him pretty much what you have in the letter. Explain why you are leaving - more convenient schedule, better pay, more room for advancement or whatever it may be.

Be ready for his rebuttals. He might say that you can gain those things where are. Then you need to decide if you want to stay to try to reach them or move on.

Good Luck!

The best time to resign is at the end of the business day. That way both of you can go home and think about it and you not be left with workplace tension.

Just simply tell your boss that you need to speak with him/her before you leave at the end of the day.

Say you have enjoyed working there (blah blah blah), but you feel that you need to go in another direction (NEVER state why you are leaving), and you have your letter of resignation ready.

Then state that you fully plan to work your two week's notice, be a full team-player, and state, "I may wish to come back one day, and I hope that door is still open." Whether you plan on coming back or not is irrelevant...this tells you how they really feel about you and if you will be eligible for rehire.

On a side note, some employers will not accept a two-week notice and may ask you to leave immediately. This is legal, and no, they don't have to pay you in all states. So be financial prepared for that.

Take a deep breath and just walk in when he is not busy and say that you have something to tell him. You are resigning to do whatever reason you are resigning. Make it amicable, do not attack, do not use it as a b-tch session. Thank him for the opportunity. If he wants to talk, sit there and listen attentively. If he wants you to reconsider, either tell him you thought long and hard in coming to your conclusion, or tell him you will ponder it overnight, and then tell him again the next morning. I would not schedule a meeting to do it, he will wonder what the meeting is about. Just catch him at a time he isn't busy.

All managers are used to this, so don't worry. If people didn;t leave jobs, everyone would be at the same job forever, which we know is not the case. G/L

Does he suspect you are leaving? What is your relationship with him like? Ask for a private meeting and have your resignation ready. When you are ready, give him your resignation and briefly explain your situation. He will take it from there. Good luck!

Just knock on his door,tell him you need to talk to him and hand him the letter. Tell him it is time for you to move on. Don't be rude though. You never know if you will need to return to this job. Believe me,it happens. Don't burn any bridges. Good luck!

Make it short and professional.

Do not use this time to vent or get even or gripe. Simply submit the letter, be gracious and leave.

you say, may i speak to you for a second , hand him/her the letter and it will flow from there . your boss will probably respond with what's this ....... and you take it from there . it sounds tougher than it really is. let me know what happens!

HI-- John -- This is my resignation...letter...
