For whatever reason you are leaving a company, there are many long-term considerations you need to take into account. These factors take place in two phases – preparing to give your employer two weeks notice, and how you should conduct yourself for your remaining time with the company.

To show you how to professionally resign from your employer I’ve included complimentary notice letter templates below.

By taking the time to use them before quitting, you’ll increase your chances of getting a positive reference in the future. Trust me, it’s worth the small amount of effort you put into it!

1. Preparing To Give Notice

Regardless if you are leaving because of a conflict or have found a position with greater benefits and opportunities, you need to act professionally in your written and personal manner. When composing your written notice, you need to keep it short and to the point.

One reason is that many companies have an exit interview process, where you will have the opportunity to be more precise about your reasons for leaving.
