Question : I’m leaving my job to live with my boyfriend, do I tell my current employer before or after I’m offered a job?
I’ve been working for my current employer for just over 4 years, I like my job and really get on well with my boss. I’ve been seeing my boyfriend for almost a year and we’re ready to move in together – he lives two and a half hours’ drive away so I would need to get another job.

There’s a chance that I could do my current job remotely, but I don’t think I would enjoy it as much if I weren’t working with my colleagues. Working on my own from home would be very lonely.

I’ve found a few jobs which I’d like to apply for, but I’m not sure when to tell my current employer that I’m going to be leaving. They’ve already asked me to give them plenty of time, as they’re aware that at some stage I’m bound to move away. My boyfriend is worried that if I tell them too soon, they’ll find a replacement and get rid of me before I have another job.

I don’t think they would be like that, it’s a small company, and I play a vital role, it would be difficult to get the right replacement and I’d like to help train him or her.

I don’t really want to get offered a job and then have to turn around and tell them that I’m giving them my 4 weeks notice and that’s that. They’ve been very good to me, but a new employer isn’t going to want to wait much more than a month for me. But at the same time, I don’t want to tell my current employer that I’ll be moving away and it take months for me to find another job and just keep them hanging…

Anyone have any ideas? It’s a really difficult situation…

Thanks
