Leaving on Good Terms

Although there is negative connotation associated with leaving a job, this is not always the case. There are many reasons that people depart from jobs, not all of them are bad situations. Some people leave jobs to pursue a better opportunity, to live in a new city, or to work in a home environment. So whatever the reason for leaving a job, it is important to remember there is a right way and a wrong way. Although you may leave your job not caring about how your former employer or coworkers think about you, if you reenter the workforce your past will be scrutinized. So make sure you do these simple things before you cut your Goodbye cake!
1. Let all your outside contacts know that you will no longer be their liaison to the company. Tell your clients their account will be handled by someone else and give them the contact information.
2. Leave your workspace clean. Make sure you do not accidentally pack anything that is office supplies or confidential company files. Consult your office policies on what to do with your computer files.
3. Write a note to keep with your employee file. Thank your employer for the experience you received.
