Resignation letter second job

Be clear which role you are leaving, coordinate schedule coverage, and stay professional toward both employers.

How to use this resignation letter second job

Tell your manager first when you can, then send written notice the same day. Put a calendar last day in the letter—not only “in two weeks.” Keep the reason short; this page is for a resignation letter second job, so stay on that intent and link out for tones or notice length.

The samples below are starting points, not scripts. Swap names, title, company, and last day. If your situation is sensitive (health, harassment, legal risk), keep the letter factual and use HR or counsel for details that should not live in email.
