Resignation letter
I had an interview last week, and things went very well. At the end, my interviewer (a managing partner at the prospective law firm; I'm an attorney) said he expected that I would receive an offer. Yay!
Now, I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself, but I was doing some online research re: resigning from current employment. Every article I read mentions a resignation letter. I am currently working at a very small firm, so I anticipated tendering my resignation in face-to-face meetings (I work for 2 partners). We don't have an HR department to speak of; just an office manager.
Should I do a letter on top of meeting with my bosses? If so, should I mail it in? Hand it to my boss / the office manager?
Thanks for the advice, all.
The reason is you.
Re: Resignation letter
I'd do it just to cover your bases.
The key to remember is that a resignation letter is something for your company to have on file to show dates of employment. It's always a good idea to have that.
GL!

Even though your current employer doesn't have a formal HR department, I'm sure they have some form of employment files and the resignation letter is a good way to have documentation of your decision. The letter doesn't need to be incredibly formal, but some sort of documentation that you are resigning and such. I think its great that you want to and feel comfortable enough to talk face-to-face about your decision and would also give the letter to your boss then.
At my company, which is bigger than yours it sounds like, but is pretty small in comparison to most, they will request a letter if the individual has not already provided one. Like the PP said - its just a good trail!
Happy days,
Ditto pp about the record. My resignation email to HR and copied to my manager said: "This serves as my two week notice from terminating my employment from XXX and my last day will be XXX. I have notified my managers and am already transitioning my work. Please advise me if there is anything more I need to do to complete my resignation." Short and to the point.
In your case, if you're amicable with your partners, why don't you ask them what official record they'd like after telling them that you're resigning?
