Don’t Burn Bridges When Exiting

It's easy to get so excited about the new job you just landed that you don't think very much about how you are closing the door to your present one.

However, how you depart leaves a lasting impression on your manager and colleagues, which can have an equally lasting impact on your career. My advice: end it on a positive note and make it easier for everyone by following the four tips below:

Tell your manager and colleagues first. Tell your boss that this is an opportunity for moving ahead in your career and that you have enjoyed your tenure with your company.

Prepare a formal resignation letter that includes the effective date, a brief explanation (such as pursuing career advancement) and a positive statement about your career with the organization.

Choose your departure date based on the number of weeks that will be appropriate for your level. For example, a month or more can be appropriate if it’s a senior-level position or one with critical projects in progress.

Take care of everything you need to do to provide proper closure regarding your responsibilities and any paperwork with the human resources department. Leave your contact information so that anything can be forwarded to you.

Keep in mind that negative comments can haunt you in the future. You never know where your former boss may end up working next.
