A Smooth Exit Leaving No Bridges Burned


An article in The Dallas Morning News in the Sunday, June 20, 2010, edition, “Discover the Right Way to Leave a Job” page 1J by Metro Creative Connection, suggests that regardless of the circumstances of our departure from an organization, you should leave the job with dignity and grace.
Recently while serving as a job counselor, I had several clients who had lost their jobs because of failing to report to work as scheduled.  They stated that they did not realize that they were scheduled to work the day that they were a no-show. 
So I asked them what type of reference would this employer provided them?  I think that you and I know the type of reference that they would received.  What lessons are to be learned?   Jobs today are difficult to find, and if you have a good job, you must protect it by your continued and consistent outstanding performances. 
Please share your experiences in leaving one job for another with readers of this blog.
Thanks!    Glyn
