I have worked in a Ltd company as a permanent staff member for more than 4.5 years. Due to some issues with my boss, I have not been attending duties for the past two months. Two days ago, I submitted my resignation.
Without receiving acknowledgment as received and accepted, the company has deleted my official email ID. When I asked HR about serving the notice period, they said it is not required. Normally, a 90-day notice period is standard.
Now, my concern is how to convey this to the new employer when asked about the reasons for leaving the job.

You didn't mention if you got your Relieving & Experience Letters and F&F settlement. Regarding what to mention to the next employer, you can tell them 'due to personal reasons,' you had to quit. However, depending on your comfort level, you can also tell the actual reason. Some companies understand and take a sympathetic view of such situations, while some may not.
All the best.

You are not compelled to tell your reason for quitting unless it is asked. If you are asked the reason, you can provide the most common answer, such as "seeking a good opportunity" or wanting more exposure, etc. However, never explain your issues with your ex-boss to your potential boss.

Well, simply put, you can say that you didn't find it easy to focus on searching for a better opportunity while continuing in your current job. Subsequently, you decided to leave your job and focus on searching for a better opportunity.

Well, you have not reported to the job for around two months, and you did not mention what the problem was between you and your manager. Being absent from work for around two months without any valid reason could get you into trouble. Please describe the situation to the people who are commenting on this question, and then I think they will be in a good position to respond to you.

I feel most of the time this question is asked to understand the reason. Sometimes, our answer will lead to other questions and further probing of our character or personality. Certainly, it shall be convincing when you come out without a job in hand, but some circumstances might have compelled you to do so. Please sit relaxed and develop a strong and reasonable reply so you will not face further hurdles. But do not try to bluff.

I think you should try to approach your previous employer once again and try to get your resignation signed. Ask them to provide you with a relieving letter and an experience letter. With these two documents in hand, you can confidently face a job interview by explaining that you found it challenging to focus on searching for a better opportunity while still working at the company. Therefore, you made the decision to leave the job in order to concentrate on finding a more suitable position. Having these letters will help you avoid having to answer any potentially difficult questions that may arise in the absence of these documents.

I agree with Mr. Taj Sateesh. When you mention 'personal reasons,' it is understood, and no one can force you to explain what personal reasons led you to quit the job.

Dear Members,
As you all suggested, I requested my previous employer to provide an acceptance of resignation along with a relieving letter. When I call them and explain the need for it, they acknowledge it but have not yet replied to my resignation email. Will any employer hire candidates solely based on a copy of the resignation sent by the employee? In this scenario, kindly advise me on what to do.
Thank you.
