I think a lot of it depends on your relationship and how secure you think your position is.

I think in most cases it is better to be open and honest.

However, if you're trying to move within your same company, your manager could potentially be a huge asset in getting you where you really want to go. You shouldn't talk about leaving specifically, but definitely let them know that your current position is not aligning with your career goals anymore.

In your situation, you may have been able to work an internal transfer to the location you wanted, ans maybe even have them pay for the move. My situation is a little different though. I have no desire to leave the local area at this time. Add to the fact they know I've been unhappy the last couple months, and I think it could end poorly for me if I told them my intentions. Thanks for the comment! :) Tom,

I work for a huge corporation and had a good working relationship with my management. When my wife and I decided to move closer to the midwest/east coast (we were in Seattle), I told management of my decision and they said, we know people out that way, we'll see what we can do for you. In the end, I found my new job on my own, but I don't think it can hurt to be open with them (depending). Whether or not to tell your management depends on the relationship you have with them.

It's hard to find a job if you don't have one already, but doing so is a tightrope walk that could lead to burning some bridges if not done carefully. Your idea of pulling a Superman change on the way to your interview is a good one (too bad AT&T is doing away with phone booths). Great advice!
