Writing your 2 Week Notice

What is a 2 week notice?

A 2 week notice is a formal letter you give to your supervisor prior to leaving. This letter should be professional and clearly state your last planned date of employment. Some employers may talk with you about leaving sooner or staying on longer, so be prepared in case there is additional follow up. It's best practice to include plans moving forward, but you can keep them vague and positive. Additionally, consider adding a section for what you've learned or appreciated from the position you're leaving, as well as a thank you for your supervisor and colleagues, which helps to make the transition a positive one. 

Even if you are leaving for a reason that isn't positive, (maybe you weren't getting enough hours or you and your supervisor didn't get along), you still want to keep this letter professional, because you never know if a future employer will call for a reference.
