"  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve found a new job. How can I leave my current employer on the best terms possible?&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s exciting to get a new job, and if you put in the right effort, it&amp;#039;s easy to leave on a positive note. Here&amp;#039;s how:  1. Give enough notice. Two weeks is the minimum, and more is always appreciated.  2. Set up a face-to-face meeting. Even though it&amp;#039;s hard, you should always resign in person. A resignation letter or, worse, an e-mail will brand you as a coward in your boss&amp;#039;s eyes. And don&amp;#039;t be surprised if your boss wants to discuss the details right then and there when you break the news to her. Settle any transition logistics: How can you help train your replacement? What needs to be put in order before you leave?  3. Be truthful about why you&amp;#039;re leaving. If you&amp;#039;ve been unhappy, chances are your boss already knows it, and gently offering constructive feedback is appreciated. Perhaps your position could be better filled by someone with accounting training, for example. If you have no complaints, just say you&amp;#039;ve been offered a new opportunity that you couldn&amp;#039;t pass up.  4. Express appreciation. Let your boss know how much you&amp;#039;ve learned from working for her. You don&amp;#039;t have to pull an Eddie Haskell, but enthusiastically sing some praises. The absolute best thank-you a boss can receive is a personal handwritten note mailed two weeks later.  5. Give 150 percent until your last day. It&amp;#039;s natural to be excited about your new job. But if you can keep your enthusiasm for your old job high, your colleagues and employer will wish you well as you walk out the door.
