Figure out how long it will take your manager to replace you and then give that much advance notice of your resignation. That's the ideal time to resign. If you can't give that much notice, the usual 'professional' notice period is two weeks.
When you do resign, make sure your boss is the first to know. Don't tell anyone else until you've told your boss. That's the professional thing to do. It is common for you to go to your boss with a written out letter of resignation... in that letter thank the boss and everyone for all they've done for you and the opportunities they have given you... such a touch is always well received.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

The best time to resign is two weeks before you will leave and by written notice. The best time to change jobs is when you have found and been hired for the new one.

if you have a better offer, any time is a good time...although there is a right way to do this so you don't burn any bridges.
Tell your current employer about your better offer, he may want to match or exceed it which would be to your advantage. If he cannot, he'll at least respect that you didn't just give your two weeks with no dialogue about why. A few years down the road, you may have to leave your new job and it will be a good thing that you left on good terms with your current employer in case you need to go back (or in case by then you may get an even better deal with your current employer)...get my drift?

The two best times to resign is right before a promotion or right after a promotion. Either way you're on top of your game. For the former you're banking on you value and selling yourself early to your new employer. For the latter a promotion means a long way off till the next promotion so might as well make the move and a jump up.

Give at least a two week notice but if it is a small company or you leaving will impact the company greatly, try to give as much as possible (even up to a month). In my last position, I even worked part time for two weeks at both jobs to phase out of one and into the other.

To be respectful, most employees should give two weeks notice, three if you are in management. There is no good time to lose an employee, so when you find a new job, give immediate notice so they can work it out.

Respectfully at least a two week notice. Or when applying somewhere else you might get a bad review cause you left without notice. And you will not get respect back.. Unless you absolutly hate your job, you quit when you already have another job def.

Just be conscious of your work environment. If there's already a serious manpower shortage, you may want to wait.
If there's ALWAYS a manpower shortage, that's due to bad management, and you owe them nothing more than the standard two-weeks notice.

10 minutes before they fire you and 2 hours after you have another job.
