leaving your job” while shifting to a new job, will help you in leaving the job

No matter
how well or how badly you were treated on the job. It's in your rear view
mirror already. You're moving up and onward! We've all heard that it's
important to leave a job on good terms, but we can easily forget what those
"good terms" require.
(1)
Remember to be humble. Resist the temptation to celebrate your good fortune of landing
a new job too enthusiastically with co-workers. You will only alienate your
soon-to-be former colleagues.Do not badmouth management or staff. People
have long memories about criticism, and you never know when inquiries about
your performance will be made by future employers. Even if you hated your job
or your boss, there's no point in saying so.
(2) Once you give notice,
your next priority is to leave your desk and your role in perfect shape. If you
can, create a report that lays out your current priorities and projects and the
status of each one. It feels very good to put this wrap-up report together and
it will make your replacement's life much easier.
(3) Don't tell anyone
that you are happy to be leaving your job, even if it's written all over your
face. Your soon-to-be-former co-workers are still stuck in jobs they may
not love any more than you loved yours.
(4) Any project looks like it won't be completed when you leave, tell somebody where the
project stands and what still needs to be done on it, and put that information
in writing to your manager also. Never, ever say anything negative about
your boss or the company, even if your work-friends ask you.
(5) You know which files on
your computer are yours and which belong to your company. Don't take any
client, vendor or internal information with you, but be sure to get your
personal photos and files off your company machine before your last day of work.
Don't reach out to customers to tell them you're leaving until that
communication has been approved by your boss. After all, they are the company's
customers rather than your personal contacts. You can certainly reach out to
any client you want to after you've left the company.
(6) In those final weeks it may be tempting to take long
lunches, arrive late and leave early, but all eyes are on you. Experts suggest
that you maintain the same work pace that you’d previously set and keep a
positive attitude.
(7) Issue notice on a Friday- Midweek is just
an odd time, and on a Monday or Tuesday, you are catching people as they are
about to dive into a full week of work.
Doing it on a Friday is best. It
gives you and your employer the rest of the day, and the weekend, to think
about it and come to terms with the decision. If you are a key member of the
team, your boss will likely need to come up with a game plan on how to replace
you. He or she may also want to make you a counteroffer, asking you to sit on
your resignation and think it over. For this reason, Friday is the most
strategic day to hand in your notice.
(8)
Say thank you. Take the time to thank
everyone who has helped you to be productive in your role. Your generosity and
modesty will be remembered. Single people out and express your gratitude for
their support at any going-away parties. Take the time to send a goodbye
email to the people you've worked with.
