with company policy, I am giving you a full month’s notice that my last day will be April 25, 2009.

knowledge at this company, and I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to work here, in
addition to the many friendships that I have gained. I would recommend this company highly to
anyone searching for a career in Software Engineering.
If there is anything I can do to make my last weeks here more productive, I would be glad to honor
any suggestions you might have. Thank you again for the opportunity to work at such a wonderful
company.
Sincerely,

16. Always Remember…
Your job history follows you
around, and frequently the world
is much smaller than you think.
First and last impressions are very
important!

Here is a list of some of the written “assignments” you will need to complete before, during, or after your job search.
There is a reason why English skills are so important, hence taking many English courses during high school…no matter what/for the rest of your life…you will NEED to read, write, and speak. Doing these well will help you along your way, and perhaps open some doors for you.
The way you communicate is proof of your professionalism
Remember the way you speak, write, and present yourself reflects who you are and how you will be on the job.
Read the slide
Take note that one of the English vocabulary/reading comprehensive strategies is to try to find the “hidden” or “embedded” word within a complicated term and to try to guess the meaning of that word
NOTICE resignation resign which means to leave/quit/give up

Pay attention to this slide
America has become super “suing obsessed” – People will do ANYTHING for money…be careful with what you SAY and what you WRITE about anything or anyone. A lot of workplace “tap” phones, and spy on your computer as you work on it.
Yes they can do that It is company property & you are on company time
Read the slide.
Some workplaces may require a “damage to company” fee that you will need to pay them if you quit and break a contract (this may even be thousands of dollars)
You will be under a microscope. Be courteous and careful to leave on good terms…you never know when you will need anyone from there again!
Try not to “weasel” your way out of this situation
Be mature about it and responsible
Talking face to face is always best – this way you avoid the chance of miscommunication that occurs through emails
Again, you are under a microscope
Once you have voiced your intentions you are already on their bad (keeping a watchful eye on you) list
It usually suddenly becomes a Me against YOU situation…new found kindness should be interpreted cautiously
*Just read the slide.
This letter is a GENERAL reason letter
Notice it is short, sweet, and to the point
*This is a way to word it if you are leaving a job because you found a better position
*This situation gets sticky and sensitive real quickly (especially if you formed relationships with your current workplace members)
*This letter is if you MUST leave immediately.
*It is NOT recommended you leave without a notice of at least 2 weeks, but sometimes you are left with no choice
*This is an apologetic resignation letter.
*Again, this is not the ONLY way to word these situations, but notice the language is very carefully crafted and kind
*You have to ALWAYS be thankful that you were given a job opportunity. Especially in this economy, it is becoming a PRIVILEGE to get a job.
*Keep in mind your workplace has spent time and money on hiring you. By you leaving them, is almost like they have invested in a pointless cause.
*There will be some sensitivity there.
This is your Master PROFESSIONALLY crafted letter. It is a very thorough letter that “Has It All”.
This is what you should strive for. It is a bit longer, but the much shorter ones reveal a sense of “I don’t care- I’m out of here” vibe.
* PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO THIS SLIDE!!!!
*Just a quick review on how to address a letter.
Working with email so much, we tend to forget the basics.
Also, typing a resignation letter and mailing it, is much better than a quick email.
