After receiving an offer of employment, how should the resignation at the current employer be handled?

A) Explain to the current employer why you are leaving.
B) Tell the current employer what company made you an offer and how much they are paying you.
C) Write a letter using the format for negative messages stating your decision to leave and your last day on the job.
D) Wait until 3 days before the new job begins to give notice.
E) Write a message using a positive format indicating what the company can do to better retain employees.

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If you get a job offer while employed, you can maintain good relations with your current employer by writing a thoughtful letter of resignation to your immediate supervisor. Follow the advice for negative messages and make the letter sound positive, regardless of how you feel. Say something favorable about the organization, the people you work with, or what you've learned on the job. Then state your intention to leave and give the date of your last day on the job. Be sure you give your current employer at least two weeks' notice.
