it really depends on the profession you are in. Some jobs are very specific and strict with resignation whereas others are quite flexible. i'd recommend two weeks in advance to avoid any form of negative confrontation and to maintain positive relationships with your employer, that way every one stays happy, that is of course until you leave and then they miss you! :P

This is an old courtesy but now adays depends on what industry and how well you care not to peave your boss! Employers now have clauses that allow them to terminate you whenever they wish, so if yours does, I don't think a double standard should apply.
I say, it's not burning a bridge if you already have a job lined up and tell your boss "sorry, they needed me to start earlier than 2 weeks" because your new job is what matters. But if you don't have the job yet and feel they may call your boss for reference maybe it's not the best plan.
Happy Holidays!

Hi
this all depend on your contract - your state and country...
You have a contract with your employer o in effect you are about to break that contract - so there will be an agreed period for this notification. In the UK it is 1 week, 4 weeks or up to 6 months - depending on the job.
Check your contract or your employer can force you to stay or pay for a replacement!
Good luck in the new job

No, but it's nice to. You don't want to burn bridges in case you ever need to go back to that company. You never know what curves life will hand you. Two weeks notice is always a good idea.

It's not a legal requirement unless you have a contract that requires 2 weeks. It's considered the right thing to do, though.

If you want, you could give more time of notice, but two week is the minimum.

It is proper to give at least a two week notice.

You don't HAVE to do anything. But it is considered professional and looks much better to your future employers.
