Anyone have any suggestions of what to say to your boss if you would be leaving your job, I've been here for 2 months, and I've really moved up in the company and also I would like to leave the door open if i come back. Thanks!

I would suggest letting your employer know that you have really enjoyed working for the company for x, y, and z reasons. Give a brief explanation of why you are deciding to move on (if it is due to a personal life issue leave it at that). I would address the possibility of returning directly, and ask if that might be possible in the future. If you have been a good employee, I would think most employers would be open to re-hire down the road.

Be honest and sincere - tell your boss that the new offer is just one you cannot pass up right now, but that you are a little hesitant because you enjoy your current company so much - say "I would really hate to think there was no opportunity for me here in the future, sound things change."
Give more than a 2 weeks notice if possible - that will look even better.

The job can't be that great if you are leaving after only 2 months. If you want to leave the "door open" to a return, then you probably want to devote more time to this job first to make you a desirable re-hire. Many companies don't want to spend time training, only to have the person leave in 2 months time. I've been a manager and I would not rehire someone who left me in the lurch in such a short period of time.

Guess the question I have is why are you wanting to leave? Since you have moved up in the company, and they have a vested interest in you, they would not of given you this opportunity otherwise, depending on your boss and his attitude, I can see a bridge being burnt here. If it is due to reasons out of your control, then just let your boss know of the circumstances and have a professional discussion. Good Luck.

Be honest with your resignation.
They will appreciate that.
I am sorry you feel the need to leave a job you have only been at for 2 months.
.I hope you are successful in leaving door open.
I am sure you have good reason for leaving a secure job.
I wish you well
Have a great day.

No reason you have to say a lot. If your new job provides more opportunity and more money, then your boss should understand. Just be sure to thank him/her for the support they've given you and say you hope to work again with them in the future. Keep it short and to the point; if you were a good worker for them, they'll be glad to have you back in the future!

As a company owner, I really appreciate it if an employee makes themselves available to answer questions after they leave and finish their projects. However, having just been there 2 months and quitting after being promoted is not an employee that I would reconsider if they wanted to come back. My advice is to look at him as a friend and try to leave things as tidied up as I can and be his friend afterwards as well.

I would need to know why you are leaving before knowing what to say. If you've only been there two months and have really moved up and would consider wanting to come back, I have to assume there are circumstances beyond your control that are making you have to leave (unless it was just seasonal employment).

Thank them first for the opportunity of learning whatever kind of field you are in, explain to them that you are not leaving out of unhappyness or distaste in your job you are just furthering your options. Let them know that if it is possible and this new opportunity is not what you are looking for that would like the option of returning there to work for them again. Trust me employers eat it up if they believe you are greatful and you were a hard worker.

Wow, if you are leaving after two months, the chances of them re-hiring you are probably pretty slim. It is always nice to try and give notice so that you do not burn any bridges, however be prepared for them to ask you to leave immediately. Many employers do this, and no, they are not required to pay you anything if you ask you to leave immediately upon providing notice.
