Because they do not show any deserved appretiation.

When you no longer challenged or learning, or there is some other issue that outweighs the benefits of your job.\n\nThe first thing I would try is making changes with-in my current job, that will make it more fulfilling.  If making changes, like volunteering for new and challenging tasks, does not improve your outlook about your position it is time to move on.\n\nUnless your sanity is at stake or you have a large amount of savings, you should have something lined up when you leave your job.

Write a polite letter stating your departure date and thanking your employer for the opportunity to work for them.  You do not need to tell them your reason for leaving in the letter, but leave the option open for them to ask.  Many employers reserve a right to a "departure interview" where they will ask why you are leaving, but a lot of places don't take the time to ask, they just work on replacing you.  Here's an example:\n\nDear Boss,\n\nPlease accept my resignation of my position as *whatever*.  My last day will be *two weeks from date of letter*.  I have enjoyed my time at your company and greatly appreciate the opportunities provided for professional and personal growth.  I will be happy to speak with you further at your convenience.\n\nSincerely,\nMe

Depends on WHY...if you like the people and just hate the job, then you sit down with your supervisor and explain that everyone's been great but you just don't feel like the job is a good fit and you're sure the company would benefit more with someone taking over the position that was mose suited to it than you are.... If it's for personal reasons, you apologize profusely about the fact that you must give notice due to a change in circumstance at home.... if it is that you've just been offered the job of your dreams, again apologize profusely but explain that you just cannot pass on this opportunity, if possible offer to stay on until they've found a replacement.\n\nI've had to do this three times and two out of three employers genuinely wished me well and all three still offer me good references.

I assume you are not independently wealthy or you'd have quit already, so dee is right, the need to keep food in your stomach and a roof overhead will help motivate you. The other thing that helps is the looking for the new job because it is the light at the end of the tunnel. You will have the secret knowledge that you are NOT always going to be going to that job you hate, that soon you will be able to tell them "Take this job and shove it". Good luck in your job hunt, keep a bright, positive outlook, better times are ahead.

I would say that while you have enjoyed your current company and role, and learned a lot. You feel you will learn even more by changing organizations and seeing how things work in a different environment. You are looking for a company with a different pace, with more energy....etc.  \n\nTalk about your career aspirations and how the prospective company fits into your dreams, goals and plans.

Timely.\n\nI leave my job, and my career of 26 years, on the 15th December.  I no longer love it.\n\nWhy didn't I leave earlier? \nA desire for financial security (I'm still not quite sure what else I'm going to do, and my skills are quite specialised).  A perception that what I was doing was hardly the worst of jobs: well paid, normal hours, socially useful...\nA strong possibility that my problems were due to depressive illness, not my job, and that the main thing was to keep working while addressing my medical condition.\nA fear of being unemployed, and how that would be seen by family and friends...\n\nNow, what would I love doing that I can actually make a living at, seeing as I can't quite retire, yet?\nI'm about to find out.

I can completely relate to your situation. I think it might be worth it to stay at your current job because I really feel that it takes about 2-3 months to warm up to a new job and new work environment. You might not like some of the task you are doing now, but as you learn and have more experience at your workplace, your boss will be able to see that you are capable of doing the tasks given and will be more willing to give you tasks that challenge you. Even so, if you work at a larger company, you may be able to transfer to different departments within the company. So, you should definitely stay a while and explore what the company has to offer!

Keep your options open, but don't close any doors.  Let your current employer know that you need and are looking for something more challenging and personally rewarding and give them the opportunity to provide it, but at the same time, keep you options open...if your current employer does not offer you a better option they will recognize your talent and give you a good recommendation to the next potential employer.

it appears your close to your boss.  what i would do is have lunch with her, or just talk with her... and let her know your situation... tell her that you found another job.  then tell her what you like about that other job... then tell her why its hard leaving your current job... then tell her what you like about the job you currently have.  if you do this in order, it will put her in a positive mental frame of mind and you wont need to worry about upsetting or leaving people that you got to know.

It sounds like you are unhappy and need a different job.\n\nTHEY are the boss. You are labor.

It depends on the position you left. If it is specialized for example Information Tech for the Banking Industry... it would be harder to replace as the company needs to find an IT guy with a banking background rather than just getting any IT guy. It also depends on how dependent your superiors are to your work. If your leaving means significantly disrupting a current process and having someone relearn a tedious process... they would probably ask you to stay.

Yes, it shows stability and committment. People who jump from job to job every two years say one thing to me. They are never happy or don't get along well with other people. Not a good work ethic. But longevity is always a plus. Just make sure the reason for leaving isn't because you wanted a change. List something like no more room for advancement or something like that.

I'd go with the fact of it's not a good fit for you, you feel you have no opportunity for advancement, and that you've gone as far as you think you're going to go with that company, and that you're looking for a change. \n\nGood luck!!!

write a letter of resignation.  it should state the current date, the last date you will be working, and thank them for the opportunity to work there.  then ask your supervisor if you could speak to them privately.  explain that you have enjoyed your time with the company but have decided to accept an offer from another employer.  tell them the last day you are able to work.  thank them for the experiences and education you have gotten there.  offer to assist in training your replacement before you leave.  hand them your letter.  good luck, remember to be careful what you say.  you never when your current boss will leave the company and possibly be your boss again.

It sounds as if they can't offer you any job security or guarantees. I'd stay with the old job.
