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.

first.
This will demonstrate your trust in him
or her. By doing this, you also give your boss

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

- 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
