As someone says ‘‘Every goodbye makes the next hello closer.’’When planning to leave your current job remember this one rule, “how you finish is just as important as how you start”, therefore finish well and exit gracefully. They say that first impressions count, we should also add that final impressions are lasting. While working with our partners together, we tend to focus on all the factors that will win us respect, influence, favor, power, acceptance and inclusion with others. These factors are important and helpful when starting a new job, a project, networking, or selling.

But what happens when the project is over or you are ready to leave a job. How do you make your exit work to your benefit? Your exit can be beneficial in many ways such as

a good character reference;

a door opener for another project;

easing transitions from one job to another;

winning you instant respect and creditability;

landing a new client;

leaving a legacy of your contributions.

We can exit gracefully from a job or volunteer organization by doing some preparations that will make our exit smooth and impressions last.

Handle your departure as carefully as you would handle any other business endeavor. It’s always wise not to burn bridges, because you don’t know when you will need your past partners for a new business.

When your flight is called you’re going to take your ticket, ID and, carry-on bag to the person that is going to take your ticket. Then you will proceed onto the plane and you can find your seat number that’s noted on your ticket.
