whats the best way to resign from my current job?

Bella E

so i know that your supposed to give 2 wks notice, and I plan on actually giving alittle of a month notice. but Im having trouble deciding if I should first write a letter of resignation and then try to tell them face to face. im alittle nervous, and i want to break the ice with a letter. is that appropriate? open to honest opinions.

I personally think it's better to have a meeting with your superior (with the resignation prepared already) and explain why you are resigning. This way, they should feel respected and be a good reference in the future. If you just give them the resignation they may feel like you are abandoning your position with no real professional feeling towards them.I feel this way because I gave my employer a letter of resignation without coming to her to explain and she was very offended. Therefore I was uncomfortable asking her to be a reference in the future.Hope I helped in some way.
