Six Things To Do Before You Leave Your Job

Six Things To Do Before You Leave Your Job Im doing some research on how to onboard yourself once you land your next job. I found this great (important) article on TheMuse titled 6 Things to Do Before Leaving Your Job. I hadnt thought about it much because I focus so much on forward-facing stuff, not what to do to tie up loose ends from a job you have left.  But Leslie Moser is absolutely right.  Her six things are (read her post to get more): Write a transition plan Archive, archive, archive (dont archive information that is not yours, though) Figure out your health insurance (COBRA is a joke it is SO expensive) Have an exit interview (be careful not to burn bridges in this interview, though!) Keep in touch! (I know this can feel very awkward) Plan a vacation (take some time, but NOT TOO MUCH TIME!) A book Ill recommend is Scot Herricks Ive Landed My Dream Job Now What???  This book helps you plan your first 30 days on the job, and includes thoughts on wrapping up well from your last job. In the amazon review I love the person points out that Scots book helped her put together a 30/60/90 day plan FOR AN INTERVIEW!  So maybe this book is a great interview prep book ?
