Answer 1

You are under no legal or even moral obligation to tell your present employer that you wish to leave them.

However, it could make it difficult to attend interviews and obtain references etc. BUT you could tell them once you have interviews arranged etc and not before.

Or.... leave them out of the loop entirely! Let them know once you have found a new job!

Good luck with the job hunting  

Answer 2

Never tell your current employer that you are looking for new work!  As a manager I can tell you that the first thing I do is start replacing the person and then if they change their minds I still have doubts about them and will never count on them again.

Put it this way- they won't tell you if they are thinking about firing you.

Answer 3

You have no obligation to tell your employer that you are looking for work elsewhere.  In fact, in many cases, it is not a good idea to tell them until you are ready to leave.  Don't burn your bridges until you have already actually crossed them.

people are always open to alternative positions and there is always a certain percentage that is actively looking.  

You should not look while at work or use equipment and materials from work in your search.

Answer 4

You should not inform them until you have another job lined up, then give 2 weeks notice and follow thru

Answer 5

You definitely should not tell your current employer that you are looking for another job.  They can fire you, and without cause.  

You need to quietly search for new employment.  This means doing everything away from the site of your current employ; internet searching should be done at home or at the library, your phone calls should be done at home or on your cell phone (away from where your co-workers or managers can hear you), and you should try to take a few hours off or a day to have interviews.  If you cannot take time off, use your lunch time.  However, when interviewing, you obviously have to dress up.  If you don't have to dress up at your current job, people may get suspicious if they see you in a suit or something that you typically do not wear.  My advise to you is to bring a change of clothes and keep your interviewing gear in your car until you are ready to leave for your appointment.

Good luck.

Answer 6

I think it depends on your circumstances. If you believe that it would count against you, then don't tell them, just in case you don't find another job. Given the current workplace laws they may be able to sack you and you might not have any recourse, so if you think that's a possibility stay quiet. On the other hand if you think that if they knew you were looking at leaving they might give you a payrise or improve your conditions to make you stay, then maybe it is worthwhile telling them. You need to work out which is relevant for your circumstances.
