There's one thing we are going to face in our working lives:
quitting a job or being fired from a job. Either way, a smooth
departure is a must. When you are a part of the company, how you
leave your job could be important as what you have done in that
position. It is the lasting memory your co-workers will have for
you, and says about your professional character and personal
integrity.
-
Leave on good terms. Do your best work possible during the
last two weeks of your employment term.
If you decide to resign, it was for better opportunities. A
resignation letter should simply state you are leaving and when.
Give as much notice as possible, as this gives another good
impression before you leave.
Network is a great key to career success. Messing things up
could haunt you in professional business venture.
-
Teach someone as much as you can about your job before you
leave.
Offer to do whatever you can to make the new hire's learning
curve easier. This will definitely keep you on good terms with
your soon-to-be-former employer. If there is no one to teach,
write as much of it down. Document everything and make it look
good and print it out for your boss.
-
Clean up behind yourself.
Do everything you can to clean up things from your desktop
computer. Clean out the drawers of your desk. Organize your
files, and if you have time, writing a guide to them.
