Quick Tips
Dos & Don'ts to advance your job search
  • Write up a report or instructions for your replacement.
  • Offer to be involved in the transition/ training process (within reason).
  • Don't overextend yourself or make promises you won't be able to keep.
  • Don't slack off; remain productive and helpful until your last day.
 
Transition your work
You may have already mentally separated yourself from your work, but now's not the time to slack off or leave your employer in the lurch. Maintain a good work ethic and work to finish any outstanding projects. For ongoing work that can't be wrapped up, make sure you train someone or leave a status report and detailed instructions on how to proceed, including important contacts and location of documents and resources. It's good practice to do this, not just as a matter of respect for your employer, but respect for yourself. If you slack off, that will be the last thing they remember about you. It's better for you to leave a legacy as a hard worker, committed to your responsibilities right up until the end.
 
My Coaching
Get an edge over the competition
No matter how other people around you might react to your resignation, do not become a toxic element in your work environment. Your boss and some colleagues might be resentful or envious of your move - but you can't control how others will react. Continue to be efficient and professional in wrapping up your work. Don't meet a cold shoulder with a cold shoulder - continue to be friendly and courteous despite being treated poorly.
