Ten tips while changing jobs
- chapter excerpt -
The following ten tips will help you make a smooth
exit from your current job and a successful start
in your new one.
- Tell your direct supervisor about your decision
first.
This will demonstrate your trust in him
or her. By doing this, you also give your boss

overview of tasks and set priorities for your
re-placement. By planning ahead, nobody can accuse
you of hav-ing left a mess for somebody else
to clean up. Think of ways in which you can create
detailed summaries of your individual tasks.
A few things you should include:
- Objective
of the task
- What has been completed thus
far
- What needs to be done by whom and
by when
- What facts need to be considered
- Known shortfalls / problems with the
project
- Write your own job reference
certificate.
Do not leave your reference
certificate at the mercy of a stan-dardized
letter from the personnel department. Ask
