I am looking for a new job. I assume that the traditional two weeks' notice is still the standard time to tell one's current employer one is leaving before starting a new job, but I'm not sure. One the one hand, I don't want to skip out on my current job earlier than is considered customary, but I also don't want to give any more advance notice than I have to, as I'd like to leave as soon as possible. My current employers often try to take advantage of my time and my skills, and I have a feeling that they will try to convince me to stay on longer than two weeks because they don't want to be inconvenienced having to go with my position being unfilled for any length of time. And if I'm offered a job, I'd like to know what to tell my new employers as to how soon I could start without putting the new job off for longer than is customary. Thanks in advance.
