resigned
В США всего три официальные формулировки. To resign - по собственному желанию (неформально - quit), to get fired - аналогично русскому "по нехорошей статье", очень скверная штука - лишение всех прав на страховку и пособие по безработице, and to be laid-off - по сокращению штатов. То, что кто-то там resigned под огнем критики - совершенно неважно, юридически человеку "дали уйти по собственному желанию" - дело известное и вполне интернациональное:-)

: Хотя просто "resigned" уже передает добровольность ухода, для пущей убедительности (но совсем необязательно) можно добавить "voluntarily".

: None of these are "official" - they are actually used informally rather than in official communications.

Comment: "Спасибо всем большое за разнообразие версий! очень сложно было сделать выбор.
Для рекомендательного письма я остановилась на "resigned at ... own request". Есть оказывается даже термин такой - resignation at own request.
для трудовой книжки - где пассив, как правильно заметили, и стиль более официальный, - the employment was terminated at ... own request.
Не знаю, как разделить очки... отдала их IreneN, но всем большая благодарность за ответы! Thank you Jack Doughty and Dorene Cornwell!!"

i would not use neither 'wish' nor 'request' - sounds a bit awkward to me - here people quit when or if they want to - no need to ask for that (request); and, also, 'wish' sounds a bit 'magician-like' or informal :-))

'resign' also means "уйти в отставку" или даже "на пенсию", thus it may convey a bit different meaning.

Thank you. I think "terminated" is probably more common in US English, though we understand it too.

Employment terminated at employee's request
Although what IreneN says is right about the three ways one can terminate his/her employment, her "formulirovki" aren't official. "Employment terminated" covers all three and then some - could be with cause (get fired), without cause (separated/laid off), or at employee's request (quit). None of the words in parentheses are official, they are used more in spoken American English than in official written documents; I typically translate this phrase as I stated in the documents I translate.
