\u200bYou\u2019ve got a seemingly endless number of tasks to complete before you leave your job and very little time to do them. For that reason, it\u2019s tempting to skip the three suggestions we gave people leaving their jobs in part one<\/a> of this guide. Yet as busy as you may be, you definitely won\u2019t regret spending the time on those \u2014 or the next four tips.<\/p>\n

4. Create Training Documents<\/h2>\n

To ensure your employer isn\u2019t left in the lurch when you move on, document the processes you do on a daily, weekly, and\/or monthly basis. Write step-by-step instructions, using clear and simple language, and include screenshots, pictures, and\/or videos if necessary.<\/p>\n

Try to be as explicit as possible so someone who\u2019s never executed this task or project before would be able to do it.<\/p>\n

Then send these docs to your supervisor, asking if there\u2019s anything you left out or could flesh out.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be extremely grateful for your proactive help \u2014 and when your replacement steps into the role, for the fact they don\u2019t have to figure out how you fulfilled your core responsibilities.<\/p>\n

5. Update Your Professional Profiles<\/h2>\n

Now is the time to update your resume, personal website, LinkedIn profile, Twitter bio, Github profile, and anywhere else you\u2019ve indicated your employment status. Once you begin your next job, you\u2019ll be too busy learning the ins and outs to change these details.<\/p>\n

Make sure you also update your resume and LinkedIn with your most impressive achievements from this role. The details often slip your mind in the months and years following your departure, so get them down now while you remember specific facts and figures.<\/p>\n

6. Remove Personal Files<\/h2>\n

Do you have anything personal on your work computer that you don\u2019t want to lose? Since many professionals take their laptops with them when they leave the office every night and end up using them at home, it\u2019s very possible you do. This might involve notes, photos, and\/or emails. Transfer these files to your personal computer via flash drive or cloud storage platform like Dropbox or iCloud.<\/p>\n

Of course, you shouldn\u2019t save any files that don\u2019t belong to you. Doing so may violate your employee guidelines \u2014 or even an NDA, if you\u2019ve signed one.<\/p>\n

7. Save Work Samples<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always a good idea to keep work samples on hand to use in future job searches. After all, nothing demonstrates else your skills and knowledge so effectively. Before you start sending copies of your work to your personal email, make sure it\u2019s okay with your manager.<\/p>\n

Ask, \u201cI\u2019d love to have a copy of (project, deliverable, report, etc.) to use as a work sample. Do you mind if I send a copy to myself?\u201d<\/p>\n

If they say yes, confirm their approval in an email. (Don\u2019t forget to forward this chain to your personal email!) This gives you a paper trail if anything comes up down the line. It shouldn\u2019t, but better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n

Congratulations \u2014 you\u2019ve finished the two-part series. Now you\u2019re well-prepared to leave your job on good terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
