How do I tell my boss I'm leaving? (nicely)?

Arrange a meeting privately, and explain that you want to leave - depending on your contract, you may have to continue working after handing in your notice, so make sure you stay on good terms! Also, references are useful in getting a new job, so thank your boss for their time, and remain civil.

I recently just resigned from a job. Write up your notice thanking them for the opportunity to work there, but explain that you're now pursuing a new position. You are not actually required to give your reason for leaving, but as long as you hand in a short, professional letter of resignation you'll be golden! Best wishes!

I think this is a great job but it's not meant for me. I would want to look for something I love doing.

Put in your two weeks, if you don’t feel comfortable you can leave it in writing beings that you have to write it down anyways.

I would be as professional as possible. I wouldn't worry about hurting anyone feelings. You're doing this for yourself not for your boss. If it was for your boss then you would stay and follow them. But you're doing this for you. Make yourself a resignation letter and have a plan. Tell them honestly why you are leaving and be sure to keep your emotions out of it.

A resignation letter. You'll have the time to word your letter carefully, it'll appear professional and you'll avoid any unwanted awkwardness.

You can use the "sandwich strategy"(â„¢) ;) : -Start by saying something positive and soft (bread) -Express you are leaving (stuffing) -Conclude by saying something positive and soft again (bread) For example: "I've felt really supported in this company during my stay working here. The team is great and I really appreciate everything I've learn here (bread). Now I find out it's time for me to start a new proyect (stuffing). So I would like to thank you for the opportunity you have given me to learn and grow in this environment. I will always remember my time in this company with gratitude. Assertiveness is the key! :)

I tell them to enjoy the rest of night/day and that I’ll see them the next time I see them. It should be simple.

Being direct, quick and professional is the best way to communicate any bad news to anyone. Thanking him/her for the opportunity and for what you gained from it is helpful in keeping positive relations afterwards.

There are no recipes. But you can state all the good things you have gone through on this position/workplace and thank him for the opportuniy, but now you need to seek another challenge that comprehends going to a new scenario.
