1. Give proper notice; for most industries, 2 weeks notice is the standard, but a month is a more proper way to go. This makes it easier on the manager, coworkers, and give you time to train someone to perform your job once you're gone. 2. Make sure to stay a resource; After you start a new job and as long as there is no conflict of interest it’s important that you stay in contact with your previous employer because questions about your position like accounts, clients, files, etc could come up. Showing a willingness to help them out looks good for that next employer showing them you can reliable even after your gone. 3. Stay in touch; this goes along with the last one but its a little different. Just because you leave a job doesn’t mean you no longer should keep in contact with other coworkers. We tend to build friendships/relationships with the people we work with so keeping those connections open is always a bonus. 4. Bonus; Remember about 15% of employees that leave their job will go back so leaving on a good note will make it easier to go back if you want/need too.
