I\'ve been talking with a friend of mine about a job opportunity. He is the CEO of a startup company that provides investor information on biotechnology related areas. He needs a CTO to run his technology & he wants to be the Bloomberg of the health care industy. Anyway he\'s pretty impressed with my background & he should be making me an offer very soon! I\'m stoked.
Anyway, I have a small predicament. I want to give 2 weeks notice at my current employer (after I get an offer of course). Procedurally I have no problem telling the 3 guys I work with, they are going to be pretty sad since it means more work for them & they\'ll have to scurry to find a replacement, fortunately it\'s a slow time of year for the political \"machine\" I work for. Technically my supervisor is in another building across the street. I do not really see him much except for our weekly Thursday meetings. I guess the professionally etiquette approach to tendering a resignation letter would be to call him up & ask him if we could have a quick meeting today & bring a resignation letter with me as opposed to just emailing it to him, right? Any advice on what I should say in the letter? I haven\'t resigned from a job in a while. The people I work with & for know that I was not too happy at this job, but I still want to try & leave on good terms, any advice is appreciated!!!
Another question is, how do you handle it when they ask you who you will be working for? I really don\'t want to tell them, I can describe the company but if they press me for a \"name\" what kind of response should I provide? \"I\'d rather not say\"?
It looks like I\'m just going to write in the letter:
</font><blockquote><font class=\"small\">Quote:</font><hr />
I, <bivonic>, hereby tender my resignation from <Company X> affective May 30, 2003.
<hr /></blockquote><font class=\"post\">
