Frequently asked questions
What should a resignation letter include?
Keep it short and professional: state that you're resigning and from what position, give your last working day (ideally two weeks out), thank your employer, offer to help with the handover, and close warmly. You don't need to explain why you're leaving.
How much notice should I give?
Two weeks is the standard in most roles, but check your contract — some positions expect more. The generator defaults to a two-weeks-notice style and uses whatever last working day you enter.
Should I say why I'm leaving?
You're not obligated to. A brief, positive reason is fine if you want to include one, but it's perfectly professional to simply state that you're moving on. This tool won't invent a reason you didn't give it.
