Do NOT, repeat DO NOT tell them squat. They deserve NOTHING. Ive seen so many people get burned by being honest to an employer and people are wise to it now.Be smart enough to come in and say, "hey im giving notice, today is my last day, see ya". That seems to be the way to do it today. The days of 2 week notice are when employers treated people like family. Those days are GONE forever. Ive even seen really good Gm's, Directors get totally screwed over. Large Companies have absolutely no loyalty to anyone these days. Dont be a putz, cause you will hate yourself if you make this mistake.

Mums the word

I agree, don't let on.
One thing you might try is to setup your interviews after hours, esp if they are pretty close.
Your prospective employers might think that it shows some character that you would rather interview on your own time - what do they know

Up front tell the propective employers you currently have a job (if they already don't know, I"m sure they do). Set up the interviews early or late in the day (i.e., before/after work) or during lunch. Propective employer will respect you for it and it shows commitment/loyalty to company. Wouldn't tell the current employer anything!!! Never leave fish to find fish, never leave current job until have new job. It made sense to me when I was typing it..Who knows?

When in doubt . . . blame it on the wife. Up all night and had to take care of my sick wife and bring her to the doctor in the morning. Worked like a charm. Interview went great too.

I'll have to come up with another one next week. Thanks everyone!!!

My goal in life is to be the kind of man my dog thinks I am.
