Resignation Letter Career Change

Hello Sir/Mam,

It was a great pleasure to work under your guidance for the last 3 years, but I would like to serve this email as my formal resignation.

At this point in my career, I feel I should switch to something more creatively inclined to my interests. I believe that a person should do what he enjoys the most, and for its painting, and hence I have decided to take up a professional course in painting and get into that stream

It was great working under your leadership, and also, I earnt how anything that you enjoy can make you reach heights.

You will forever be an inspiration to many as you now are where you always dreamt and wished for. In these past few years, I learned what a good leader is and how a team should work, and I would never be able to thank you enough for that.

I assure you that I will train the new recruit and would be happy to help in the exit process.

Regards

Resignation Letter Sample for Career Change

Respected Sir/Mam

I would like to take a moment of your to announce that I will be resigning from my post in our organization with immediate effect.

I know that this is a very crucial time when I am planning to leave, but after much thought, I think that I would look for a career switch in a different sector, mostly marketing, I feel that campaigning via different platforms is my forte and I believe that you would also agree to the same as I have delivered few projects in that domain with success.

It was a great experience for me to be a part of a team that is so hardworking and also that helps and supports their employees so much.

In the tenure which I served here, I got to learn a lot about technologies and so on, teamwork, and how to adhere to deadlines. You always made sure that everyone grows with each project which is delivered.

I would say that this decision has been taken after a lot of consideration of my interest and also my plans. With this, I will end my email and assure you that I will assist HR in the exit process the best I can.

Regards
